Did Putin blink?

It looks like Putin, the Russian equivalent of Rambo in the political arena, is backing down and trying to appease the Americans. Putin is asking the Assad Govt to surrender their chemical weapons to the Americans. The Western media gave the impression that the Syrians are outlaws, not a signatory to the banning of chemical weapons. But the western media did not say that the Americans and Israel and many other pro American countries are also not signatories and also in possession of huge cache of chemical weapons, no, Assad did not have the most chemical weapons that the western media would like the world to believe, it is the Americans and also Israel that are possessing the most chemical weapons in their arsenals.
 

Now you may want to ask why the Americans and the Israelis are allowed to hold on to their chemical weapons but Assad not allowed to keep his? The same reasoning, the Americans and also Israel are allowed to possess nuclear weapons while Iran and North Korea not allowed. The simple answer, they are stronger militarily and would attack or invade any country that dares challenge their dominance in the possession of nuclear and chemical weapons. Only they can have them and others cannot unless the latter can stand up to them.
 

Putin has capitulated and compromised the position of the Assad Govt. If they surrender their chemical weapons, they will be at the mercy of the Americans and Israelis who have chemical weapons and can use them against the Syrians. This concession by Putin, though a sign of weakness, has somehow pulled the rug under Obama’s feet. It could be a bargaining ploy from a weaker position. The Americans could attack Syria and the Russians could not do much about it. It is like Cuba once again. The Americans are dictating the terms and the Russians backed down.
 

In this case it does have some positive effects in the sense that it has taken the wind out of the warmongers in Obama’s camp whose only professed position is to stop Assad from conducting chemical attacks, which unfortunately he might not have done it but been framed for it. This is the ugliness of the Empire and how it schemes and fabricates situations to fix its enemies. Putin is playing the world’s opinion against the Americans and also gives the anti war Americans a reason to say no to the warmongers in the White House. The Syrian Govt has conceded defeat, there is no more reason to launch an attack.
 

Really? When the hawks in the White House have decided to attack, they will not abandon their cause and will continue to find excuses to attack Syria. The chemical weapon attack is just a ruse, an excuse. What they want is the removal of the Assad Govt even if they have to support terrorist organizations like the Al Qaeda against a legimitate govt of Assad.
 

The Evil Empire has many other agendas to want to attack Syria. Now it is up to the American public and Congressmen and women to haul back these war hogs. It is thus a fight in the White House without any real issues except to promote American military supremacy, to kill more or less Syrians, to show who is boss or the supreme international gangster.

But what did Assad do, or not do, that made Americans want to remove him?

And why did the Americans do not want to remove leaders of other countries which similarly do, or not do, as Assad?

Maybe RB can write about this to make his post more interesting.

Or better still write about Sinkieland and Assad in the same post.

Why not say that its a trap Putin & Xi has set for Obama??
1. To remove the immediate threat of being bombed.
2. To put Obama & Kerry in a difficult situation where the catch has been pulled and fully loaded, but the trigger or button cannot be touched.
3. Also allow to flush out the AlQaeda factions who may also be holding chemical weapons provided by the western powers.

Assad should have learned from Sinkieland to go for GDP growth aka make money.

Maybe he did not enable at least 60% smart Syrians to make money, that's why they want to fight him.

And when they fight him, donno why they also make the Americans want to fight him. Stupid Assad, the politician. He should have remained as an eye doctor in England and not become President of Syria.

Ya lor, to become President or PM can also be very risky hor.

So do you still want to be President?

It nice to see many people are pro Pan Arabist instead of Pan Islamist among Muslim and Arabs. The Jihadist want Assad dead, but many Muslim do not want USA to invade Syria.

Maybe they are not clearly aware of the nature of Alawite Sect in Syria than those Muslim in Middle East. Even for Sunni Muslim, a lot hate USA plan to attack Syria other than the most radical Islamist.

The Mubarak and Morsi would have acceded USA demand. But the recent military junta in Egypt swing from Pan Islamist to Pan Arabist. They told USA off.

The American and Israeli logic, their security is other people's insecurity. They would want to hold all the weapons and others not allowed to have them. And they would want the whole of Middle East to be in turmoil, better still the whole world while they play the chess player, others the chess pieces.

They even sacrificed secular Middle Eastern leaders thinking that they could contain the war by supporting extremist groups. The final outcome will be all the Middle Eastern countries would be taken over by extremist leaders that are outright hostile to the USA.

The stage will then be set for all of them to take on the Americans and Israel. It is an outcome that the Americans are working towards without thinking that it will happen. Soon the Middle Eastern leaders will wise up and know who are their real enemies.

Aiyah, redbean your sarcasm/reverse psychology does not work lah.

What capitulate? More like capitalize. Putin saw that Obama painted himself into a corner by anyhow drawing a red line in the dessert sand and offer him a way out. In the process, Putin looks like a statesman, and Obasan looks like a lame hawk.

Redbean,

Nah, whole scenario keeping the various Arab's Sect fighting against themselves till the cow comes home. Keep the Palestine talk and talk going while Israel continues building settlements turning pre-1967 boundaries into Swiss cheese. Quietly deport Black Jews back to Africa while confiscate Palestine's land, Not forgetting Bush's Poodle is heading the Quartet. Lastly, have you forgotten the Israeli and many trained SAF I still believe have some loyalty to the Israeli.

Lots of stuff we cannot see going on behind the scenes. Horses are being traded. Deals are being struck.

Rest assured, the powers-that-be are all getting "win-win", whilst the disempowered people (i.e. average Joe's and Jane's) are being played, thanks to the 24 hr news cycle global media.

The moment you take sides in this, you have lost command of your mind. The idea IS to get you to take sides, to suck you into believing your own pre-suppositions about who is the "bad guy" and who is the "good guy".

One hallmark of a classic con is to get the marks (aka "suckers") into an us-vs-them game, whilst being played in a game they are completely unaware of.

Once you know how, it is quite easy to fool people. All you need to do it to reinforce their treasured beliefs (those beliefs they are certain about being "correct" and will defend to the death), and offer up so form of concocted "proof" (aka bogus "evidence").

In the brain, there's a reward system generally known as Dopaminergic reward systems or pathways. They play parts in human motivation, anticipation, and learning. Simplistically put: when you get a sense of being "correct", you get a shot of dopamine as a "reward", which makes you feel good about being "right".

If you want to be an exceptional confidence trickster, you should learn how these systems work...and go out into the world and practice :-)

It is an intelligent play by Putin and Assad. If Obama still wants to bomb syria, it will split amercia into several parts and the world will end up being ruled by the communist regime.

Yo, you guys better stop war-mongering - today is September 11.

Ruler Obama, Putin or Assad are all stupid fools. They should learn from the rulers here. Get high, high pay and reward and do very little or next to nothing. No need to shoulder so much responsibility. No need to get so much headaches and heartaches. No need to get threaten. No need to bear so much hardships cos can suka suka sue or shit own citizens. Must learn from sinky rulers.

Shit on own citizens can still get majority votes again and again. If you believe miracles exist, it happened on this small island with their naive population.

I don't like Matildah and disagree with him most of the time but he is sure one smart shit. What he says is true. All that is going on on the world stage are already recorded in the history books on past empires. We are mere playthings to them.

Although it is true but nothing will change if people continue to hide in a cave and think like that. Change requires the effort to rethink and do the impossible, unattainable, unconventional. Repeatedly doing the same thing, thinking the same way will get you the same results.
