Master Judoka Putin "The Gracious" Outclasses "Lame Duck" Obama
The title tells the whole story. The
Japanese translator of this article says: “Everyone can see the American Empire
sinking probably even with their own people utterly scandalized at it” and
President Putin’s response to Obama will “surely help move history.” His
message is as follows: “if you cannot see the image of the last cartoon, please
link to our website Design-of-Creation Society to see it.”
Seeing the cartoon, it seems that Putin won
the match by consummate skill of “*Kuki-nage.” As I expected, everybody
feels the same.
Incidentally, Obama is treated as an equal,
though he got defeated, but our Abe-pyon is ignored by all. You poor guy,
Abe-pyon! Here’s some friendly advice. You had better disappear soon.
*Translator’s note: Kuki-nage (Air throw) –
It is also referred to as the Sumi-otoshi (Corner drop), with which a judo
practitioner throw his opponent by gripping only the judo uniform of the
opponent.

The typical pettiness and
vengefulness of the Obama administration was at full display with yesterday's expulsion of 35 Russian
diplomats and the closing of two Russian estates in New York and Maryland.
Obama also sanctioned the Russian external intelligence service FSB and the
military intelligence service GRU as well as some of its leaders for doing
their job.
The move was ostensibly
over alleged but completely unproven Russian "hacking" to influence
the U.S. election. But the real reason is likely
Obama's loss of face after being left out of the successful negotiations of a
new ceasefire in Syria.
True to form the Russian government responded
with high-class trolling and generosity.
The first move came
through the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom. It
tweeted about the current status of the Obama administration:
Russian Embassy, UK
President Obama expels 35
Russian diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, including American people will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm.
The tweet gained so far more then 17,000
retweets and 19,000+ likes - certainly a "best of the year"
candidate.
In response leaks and speculations appeared in the U.S.
aligned media about the bad, bad Russian responses to Obama's moves.
CNN claimed that Russia would close the
American school in Moscow:
The nonprofit day school, which enrolls
international students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, will be closed
along with the U.S. Embassy vacation dacha in Serebryany Bor on the outskirts
of Moscow, according to a CNN report.
Then BBC and others said that Russia would
expel 35 U.S. diplomats and spies.
But showing real
greatness is not about hitting back in kind. The Russian President Putin
(again) outclassed Obama with this response:
Putin
decides not to expel US diplomats from Russia
MOSCOW, December 30. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a decision not to
expel any US diplomats from Russia in retaliation for Washington’s
latest sanctions against Moscow.
Putin also said that Russia would not
prevent the families and children (of diplomats) from using the customary rest
and leisure facilities and sites during the New Year holidays.
"Moreover,
I am inviting all children of US diplomats accredited in Russia to the New Year
and Christmas parties in the Kremlin," Putin said.
The Russian compounds in Maryland and New
York Obama closed are used for vacations of Russian kids in the U.S.
Putin's counter is using his opponent's
moment of inertia to bring him to fall. A classic judoka move by a high master
of the art.
"We reserve the right to take
retaliatory measures but we will not
stoop to the level of the so-called kitchen diplomacy, so we will take further
steps to restore Russia-US relations taking into account the Trump
administration’s policy," Putin said.
Ouch. The "lame duck" tweet must have already hit Obama, but this is so far out that Obama has no chance to ever catch up.
The foreign policy of two
Obama administrations has been a terrible mess. Think
about his big initiatives and the results at the end of his rule:
•"Reset" with Russia: FAILED
•Negotiations with Iran: Somewhat succeeded but not institutionalized
and in high danger of being reversed
•"Pivot" to Asia: FAILED
•TTP and TTIP trade pacts: FAILED:
•New Middle-East peace initiative: FAILED
•Regime change in Ukraine: Somewhat succeeded by ended in a huge
fascist mess
•Regime change in Libya: Somewhat succeeded by ended in a huge terrorist
haven mess
•Regime change in Syria: FAILED
About the only thing
Obama achieved in foreign policy was to keep the European poodles in line. An easy task due to
the lack of good European politicians. He had no chance
though against the great and gracious opponent Putin can be.
Putin-Obama
Putin's high class move
today set the tombstone over a presidency history will
judge far worse than its contemporary media echos reflect.
