Beginning of the week we heard the Saudis were so angry with the
Americans that they were reassessing and realigning their security
arrangements to distance themselves from them. And to think that the
Saudis have been the staunchest American allies among the Arabs in the
Middle East, excluding Israel, must be a cause for concern.
What happened flowing this episode is more astounding. First the
Mexicans, than the Brazilians, then the French, followed closely by the
Germans, all blooming mad about the Americans spying on the
conversations of their leaders. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had
cancelled an official visit to meet Obama. French President Hollande is
reconsidering how to respond to his American threat. German Chancellor
Merkel was furious and had called Obama direct on the hotline. This is
not how to treat your allies, snooping at their conversations like they
were enemies. Obama has assured her that the CIA would stop doing it and
not to do it in the future. Quite a comforting thought.
Thanks to Edward Snowden, all the worms of American treachery and
betrayal are crawling all over. The ugly Americans and their disregard
and disrespect for their allies are making their allies turning red in
embarrassment for being treated so badly and dismissively.
No one can destroy the Americans. Only the Americans can do it
themselves. The rot and decline have appeared on the surface and looking
very ugly. Who else will be next to know that the Americans have been
screwing their arses while they were in bed together?
Fuck them, they are all corrupt lah.
ReplyDeleteWhy be friends in the first place? For defence lah. For protecting the wealth of their dictators lah. For massive kick backs from US defense contractors lah. For US Fed bailout lah. To play Wall Street and make money lah.
To me it's just "the gangsters are disagreeing".
Fuck them all.
Right. If they are not all corrupt themselves, they will never be friends. How could they if their ideals are different? That is why the saying 'birds of a feather flock together' is never far from reality.
ReplyDeleteIt is just another wayang to get Obama out of the way just like Clinton because they are not capable of starting a massive war. Everyone is snooping at each other for donkey years already. This is nothing new.
ReplyDeleteBut it is not a bad thing that China, Europe, Russia and rest of Asia stay away from usa. Their capitalistic model is very harmful to the world.
ReplyDeleteSo far I think our asean model is a more balanced n growth-centric one that won the respect of many nations ...
ReplyDeleteEven better is "How to turn citizens into enemies the PAP way".
ReplyDelete113,000,000 was affected, and because of them there will be a crub on data transfer, binking asses, peeping into people's lives, i hope MDA will take a cue from this, no one likes to be spy upon.
ReplyDeleteSince we can't win them why don't we join them? This is exactly happening in many fields and industries. The banking and finance industry is one key area when everyone is joining the crooks in New York to cheat on the ignorant masses, including so called high net worth and sophisticated individuals and unsophisticated funds. Just employ the crooks and cheats and join them to cheat with fraudulent products and systems.
ReplyDeleteNo one will be caught and on one will be responsible. If at all, the banks or institutions will front up and take the rap and pay the billion dollar fines, from the shareholder's funds.
Are you sure the Saudi are the "supporter" for the Americans, they are using the American Troops / Marines to fight the war for them lah...
ReplyDeleteLook at the terrorists who flied the aircraft into World Trade Towers...where are they from..
"Since we can't win them why don't we join them"
ReplyDeleteReally? When the Chinese tried snooping into the secrets of the West, a hue and cry erupted from one end of the world to the other. The double standard is there for all to see, clear as daylight.
But, as the saying goes, you snuggle up to the US, you deserve being screwed upside down.
