Obama’s Troubled Exit: Temper Tantrums and Diplomatic Storms
I’d say Minister Lavrov summarized the situation down to a perfect T!
This last minute UN Resolution was neither against Israel nor was it for Palestine. If anything it was a grand set-up against Russia and President-elect Donald Trump. God forbid that a US administration would actually choose cooperation over military interventionism.
And yes, Washington’s latest diplomatic stunt against Moscow also fits in with this taunting narrative.
I would go one step further and argue that this non-event of a UN Resolution was in reaction to Aleppo’s liberation and the subsequent side-lining of the United States from the Levant.
Whether analysts care to admit it or not, Moscow’s diplomatic victory in bringing together Turkey, Syria and Iran to the table to broker a truce essentially signaled the end of America’s footprint on Middle Eastern affairs.
And so the old tiger thrashed around to justify its political existence, and in utter stupidity burnt itself. I apologize for the bluntness of the language, but really Washington got slapped silly and literally returned for seconds.
But let’s hear what Washington had to say on its latest flip-flopping.
The Washington reported: “The resolution’s sponsors, four countries in addition to Egypt, were determined to call a vote before Obama left office. A US veto would not only imply approval of Israeli actions but also likely take Israel off the hook for at least the next four years during President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.”
Cute, but not good enough. While I appreciate the sudden concern the White House may have for peace – as if Washington has not been aggressively and blindly arming, funding and protecting Israel through a deluge of war crimes and human rights violations – no one is buying the new rhetoric.
Let me be clear, the Obama administration did what it does best: make a mess of things only to leave others to bear the brunt of the crisis.
Next, please…
