Obama Abuses Russia, Which Does Not Repay in Kind
By Julio
Severo
As a
tenant who trashes everything when evicted, U.S. President Barack Obama took
several offensive actions against Israel and Russia recently, apparently
seeking to hit the new White House tenant, President-elect Donald Trump,
especially because for Obama, Trump would not have won the U.S. election without
Russia’s assistance.
Rev.
Franklin Graham, son of the evangelist Billy Graham and chosen to pray
officially for Trump in his inaugural, said,
“Has Russian President Vladimir Putin been reading his Bible? Is he turning the
other cheek? I don’t know, but I find it interesting that he’s not going to
retaliate against President Obama whose administration has just ordered 35
Russian diplomats to leave this country and two of their U.S. compounds to
close.”
Putin’s
answer was actually praiseworthy, recognized even by Trump, who said, “Great
move… I always knew he was very smart!”
Trump’s
move to side with Putin over Obama has been offensive to the left-wing
billionaire George Soros and other socialists.
Soros,
who
supported Hillary Clinton’s candidacy as well as other liberal causes worldwide,
says that the rise of Trump and his affinity for Putin threaten the
“democratic” model championed by the European Union.
He
remarked that Putin helped Trump win the U.S. election by utilizing social
media to disseminate fake news stories, and he
is moving against it.
He
said that the Russian leader is now using the same tactic to advance European
right-wing groups and undermine left-wing governments throughout the EU.
Even
though Trump seems to side with Putin, there are uncertainties about how he
will actually act on Russia once he takes office Jan. 20. Though he’s praised
Putin as a strong leader and said it would be ideal for the U.S. and Russia to join
forces against ISIS, warmongering Republicans, who did not support Trump before the election, have
for years argued Obama wasn’t tough enough against Russia and the U.S. needs a
president to increase pressure on Russia.
“We
intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on
Russia,” said neocon Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham
of South Carolina.
Enraging
these neocon Republicans, Trump has praised Putin and chosen Rex
Tillerson for secretary of state and Lt.
Gen Michael Flynn for national security adviser. Both are seen as
friendly to Russia.
Throughout
his campaign, Trump
denounced neocons and promised to fight them. Whether he will
prevail or not over them will be one of his major tests.
