OK, this is just plain funny. “Obama To Enter Diplomatic Talks With Raging Wildfire“, on YouTube from Onion News Network.
Sad that it is so funny. But still funny. I don’t care who you are.

Russia, China Doom US Appeasement

Today’s news: Russian leaders Vladimir Putin rejects sanctions against Iran, even as China indicates willingness to consider more sanctions.
Tomorrow’s headline: China rejects Iran sanctions, even as Russia softens its position.
The Day after Tomorrow’s headine: China tags out, Russia tags into Iran-defense match.
Several things become clearer every day.
First, Iran is playing its diplomatic stalling game with masterful finesse. They have been at the table for years with the Europeans, and now with us. Feeble sanctions are enacted, and then flouted by various nations. And in the background, the steady hum of thousands of gas centrifuges, both in Qom and Natanz, creating the stuff of Iran’s dream: the Jew-liquidating Final Solution: the Mullah Of All Bombs.
Second, Russia and China are not displeased with Iran’s challenge to the West, and will not impede it in any way. But, to avoid burning all bridges to the West, Russia and China will continue to play tag-team in threatening to veto any UN Security Council action, swapping the good-cop/bad-cop roles from time to time. They know that the present US administration will not consider military pressure on Iran without a UN mandate. Russia and China are Iran’s insurance policy against any possible UN action. With their backing, Iran fears no sanctions, and has zero incentive to negotiate in good faith. Continue reading ‘Russia, China Doom US Appeasement’
Obama Deserves the Prize

President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, and people are amazed. They should not be; in fact, Obama has earned the prize.
In the blink of an eye he has moved the world’s only superpower firmly into the appeasement camp. This has been the Western left’s greatest foreign policy goal for the past eight years, and Obama has delivered on it.
Without creating much of a stir, he has notified our enemies that they need not fear us, and our allies that they cannot count on us.
Meanwhile, Iran arms itself for the coming annihilation of 6 million Jews, and the world prepares itself by stigmatizing Israel and legitimizing anti-Semitism.
A French Lesson

File this under “Never Thought I’d See the Day…”
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has publicly rebuked Obama’s airy internationalism in the face of the Iranian threat. The US media seems to have missed the story. It happened on September 25, and Breitbart has it.
Sarkozy Mocks Obama At UN Security Council
Sarkozy: “We live in the real world, not the virtual world. And the real world expects us to take decisions.”
“President Obama dreams of a world without weapons … but right in front of us two countries are doing the exact opposite… Continue reading ‘A French Lesson’
The Next Holocaust

I have just finished reading an interesting and disturbingly timely book. Why We Watched: Europe, America, and the Holocaust, by Theodore S. Hamerow, a history professor at the University of Wisconsin, chronicles and analyzes a story too rarely told: why the USA and Western European democracies exerted so little effort to prevent Hitler’s genocide of the Jews of Europe.
Hamerow gives full credit to the supreme efforts made by the allies in the war to defeat Hitlerism – once the allies belatedly recognized that their appeasement and isolationism would not avert the danger of further territorial aggression.
But he focuses on the numerous instances when the US and Britain failed to take available steps to assist Hitler’s victims. The public silence about the death camps. The repeated failure to offer wholesale welcome to refugees. And, above all, the refusal to divert even limited military resources to disrupting the railroad networks supplying the death camps.
In the final analysis, there were three reasons why the West only watched the Holocaust. Continue reading ‘The Next Holocaust’
