Re: [Goanet] Goanet - fait accompli
My, my, Tim and Roland, dripping with sarcasm and venom against the USA. Perhaps a tinge of envy ? About the world not forgetting Cuba - huh ? Have I been asleep while the USA annexed Cuba ? Not a bad idea, come to think of it. Everyone throws rocks at the USA, but when these countries are in trouble, they want the USA to help. In Obama, the USA has learnt its lessons well. Lets concentrate on the home front and forget about the rest of the world. I wonder why everyone, including from Iran, and other countries that hate the USA, are trying desperately to emigrate there. Syria ? Let Assad have his way. Crimea, all so legal and hunky dory ?. Putin sends in Russian soldiers without insignia and with Tanks and Personnel carriers and with a poker face states that there are no Russian soldiers in Crimea. A so-called referendum under Russian occupation of Crimea is naturally a foregone conclusion. Rusia has coveted Crimea for long. Everything scripted by Putin and railroaded before the rest of the world can sneeze.. The Europeans are all crazy for imposing sanctions on Russia All members of the United Nations Security Council are crazy for opposing and castigating Russia's action in Crimea. Yeah, we need a guy like Putin just as the world needed Hitler and Stalin. Long live the United States of America, beacon of Freedom and Free Enterprise.
Re: [Goanet] Fait accompli....
Dear Gabe, Just as well. The world was beginning to tire of it's only superpower acting like a spoilt child and stepping into other people's crap even when not wanted. Singlehandedly it belittled the United Nations and trivialized it's purpose. With the help of it's client state Britain under Blair and now with the backing of Canada whose beacon under Trudeau upto Chretien once guided peace among quarelling nations and whose respect is now in tatters under Uncle Sam's client Prime Minister Harper, it has made nonsense of the sovereignity of nations. In my lifetime and that of my father before me, the word America was a shining beacon for prosperity and democracy. The hungry and the deprived could count on it for sustenance at every turn. No longer. It is a country now bankrupt of morals and money overflowing only with the technology of arms and the weird determination to quell the desires of those who they once helped and now kill. The American people should be happy that there is a Putin to resist them where for a long time there was nobody. Russia was a true friend to India when India sorely needed one. India would not have had the chance to prosper as it does today if America's once solid backing of Pakistan was not equally solidly countered by the Big Bear. While America talked of abiding interests not abiding friendships, the Russian people took the Indians and clasped them to their bosoms. While acting like hypocrites on the Crimea issue, America thinks the world has forgotten Cuba. For the world to become a better place America included, Russia must regain its former power and influence and Putin is the man to accomplish it. By abstaining on the Crimea vote, India repays a small marker to its steadfast friend. And for this little moment, to hell with the Yankees and their money which can be pumped out of India as easily as it was pumped in. Roland.

Re: [Goanet] Fait accompli....
Well said Roland. I agree with you 100%. With the Americans and the Brits, hypocrisy reigns supreme. Tons of examples. Now that the USA has expelled all the Syrian diplomatic staff and closed all their offices - all of a sudden - what do you think is afoot? You do not need to be genius to know the answer. Next step - a travel advisory for all Americans wanting to visit the Middle East. Also US commandos boarding a Libyan oil tanker. They own the world now?
