Video of speech here.
This is the except in which Russia and the Ukraine are mentioned:
(...) Russia’s actions in Ukraine challenge this post-war order. Here are the facts. After the people of Ukraine mobilized popular protests and calls for reform, their corrupt President fled. Against the will of the government in Kiev, Crimea was annexed. Russia poured arms into Eastern Ukraine, fueling violent separatists and a conflict that has killed thousands. When a civilian airliner was shot down from areas that these proxies controlled, they refused to allow access to the crash for days. When Ukraine started to reassert control over its territory, Russia gave up the pretense of merely supporting the separatists, and moved troops across the border.Basically, this is the same line as Poroshenko (which is really unsurprising since they used pretty much the same speechwriters). The message to Russia is simple:"surrender or we will mobilize the entire planet against you".
This is a vision of the world in which might makes right – a world in which one nation’s borders can be redrawn by another, and civilized people are not allowed to recover the remains of their loved ones because of the truth that might be revealed. America stands for something different. We believe that right makes might – that bigger nations should not be able to bully smaller ones; that people should be able to choose their own future.
These are simple truths, but they must be defended. America and our allies will support the people of Ukraine as they develop their democracy and economy. We will reinforce our NATO allies, and uphold our commitment to collective defense. We will impose a cost on Russia for aggression, and counter falsehoods with the truth. We call upon others to join us on the right side of history – for while small gains can be won at the barrel of a gun, they will ultimately be turned back if enough voices support the freedom of nations and peoples to make their own decisions.
Moreover, a different path is available – the path of diplomacy and peace and the ideals this institution is designed to uphold. The recent cease-fire agreement in Ukraine offers an opening to achieve that objective. If Russia takes that path – a path that for stretches of the post-Cold War period resulted in prosperity for the Russian people – then we will lift our sanctions and welcome Russia’s role in addressing common challenges. That’s what the United States and Russia have been able to do in past years – from reducing our nuclear stockpiles to meet our obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to cooperating to remove and destroy Syria’s declared chemical weapons. And that’s the kind of cooperation we are prepared to pursue again—if Russia changes course. (...)
Foreign Minister Lavrov commented: “As for the U.S. President’s speech, we earned the second place among the threats to international peace and stability: number one is the Ebola virus, number two is the so-called Russian aggression in Europe and ISIL and other terrorists who are now taking hold of the Middle East and primarily of the countries, which have evidenced U.S. interventions, are ranked as number three.”
Feel the love :-)

ReplyDeleteThe planet's #1 Terrorist also called for "dismantling the IS network of death." Since the Outlaw US Empire is the mother of IS and most other terrorist organizations, he will need to start with the "National Security" apparatus that spawns, trains, then supports the "network." Lavrov is too diplomatic to say so, but not Sayeed Nasrallah.
Will Putin counter the brazen lies of the #1 terrorist? Clearly, Obama's a rabid dog of the sort needing to be shot, but then another rabid dog would replace him. Too bad the people populating North America are incapable of the same grandeur as the continent's scenery.
If I see a single lie in an article I can excuse it but on guard and when I see 2 lies I stop and discard the entire article. So I had to stop pretty short here..
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond unbelievable that the so called leader of the free world can get in front of such a huge number of people and lie like he is a pathetic liar all his life. Well actually he is from some of the stuff I have read from his younger days. The guy a poser #1.
The above is to lol
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy content within President Obombers speech is of the highest order, bordering on sheer lunacy. The efforts USA military intervention all over the world is all about "might makes right".
ReplyDeleteThe paragraph of Obama lies about Ukraine and Russia are testimony to the Cult Leader (Obama) whose detachment from reality has pushed him over the edge.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better would have been if he had delivered the speech from the golf course.
Obama will be an asterisk of history. He hunts by drone and hellfire, but he is brainless, gutless and the ultimate Fraud of Liberalism. Propped up by idolatry and hosts of whites who think he's a black man who needs their protection, Obama has come full circle from doper to doped. Obama: Cult Leader, demigod, powerless without the complete subjugation of true believers.
And at bottom, he is merely a tool of others. First, he''s a product of Indonesian madrassa. Then a product of Communists who trained him. Finally, a product of Liberalism that wrapped a Cult of Worship around the fool.
He received no reaction in the UN. He is over. But thousands more will die because he has potency problems, and only US weapons can make up for his impotence as a leader.
Obama the epitome of lies.. The founder of Lies. This is the problem, no matter if you have a yellow person as president of U.S, green person, orange, white, black or even purple you will still get the same massive lies in the face of many puppets. Who are they to question the empire general when each or most of them life wire is right under the speech table..
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity. All these wars.. Mass killings, looking for economic re-birth.
Obama dere's God oh. No bi only you waka come. You waka come with puppets abi ?
ReplyDeleteHa, Obama has turned to the laughing stock of the year !
