Ensuring always Surpasses Upstart: USA SABOTAGE international


Belly-Bullying Farce datelined Warsaw Valentine

Pompeo and his paunch are the personification of U.S. foreign relations policy and practice for selfish purposes pushes people and nations aside — applying inordinate force
  • instead of nonviolently settling conflicts, concerns and disputes;
  • instead of cooperating multilaterally toward uplift and basic health and welfare benefits, human advancement of all nations and peoples,
  • instead of negotiating with integrity and keeping world peace and sustaining agreements, free and nondestructive trade agreements, free and fair competition and innovation beneficial to all nations and peoples,
  • instead of adhering to the rule of law.
“Polish government organizes ‘a conference dictated by the US.’”
 
P
ompeo and Pence strutting in foreign affairs positions for which they are clearly unsuited threw an anti-Iran conference in Warsaw, Poland last week. And a gleefully emboldened Benjamin Netanyahu tweets
“‘What is important about this meeting, and it is not in secret ... is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading Arab countries, that are sitting down together with Israel in order to advance the common interest of war with Iran.’” Caught the tweet disappears.
Leaders of opposing views were either not invited or declined the offer. 
 
Distinguished Italian Foreign Affairs Minister and current High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini declined to attend the Warsaw conference; as did top leaders of Germany, France, and the European Union. Also not in attendance to this U.S.-Israeli anti-Iran spectacle were Iranian, Palestinian, Russian leaders.
 
Some Pols took to the streets or otherwise protested the meeting and the U.S.’s misuse and geopolitical blackmail of the Polish people. Some of their comments:
“…Why do we now have to put up with American (rockets)? We don’t want Poland to constantly be a frontier state.’”
Leftist movement “Stop the War” protesters at the Royal Castle in Warsaw: “‘We are against the submissive attitude that Poland is displaying with regard to the US.’” Left and right-wing groups reportedly were in agreement “that no one should debate issues concerning one country without its representatives taking part.”
February 16, 2019 Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivers a speech broadcast from Beirut, Lebanon’s capital:
“The Warsaw conference (held on February 13-14) did not give us a scare at all. Its primary goals were to isolate Iran, mobilize support for normalization of ties with Israel and pull the plug on the Palestinian cause, given the fact that no Palestinian delegate was among the attendees.”

A
ll will never submit. Those submitting will not submit forever. More and more will demand to stand on their own.
 
Finian Cunningham’s “US-led anti-Iran circus in Warsaw unravels as farce”
 “Most nations know that Washington’s obsession with confronting Iran is not a viable policy. Indeed, it is a reprehensible pathology which only seems to resonate with the unhinged regimes of Israeli and Saudi warmongering despots, both of whom were prominent in Warsaw this week.…
“The Trump administration knew it had to hold its Mideast summit in Poland …because it would not be welcome in Western European states. It’s a sign of the times when US diplomacy seems to be only hosted by marginal European states that are too obsequious to snigger at the farce.”

T
he present course and character of U.S. foreign policy and practice— personified in the bullying prance of a gorging, covetous, gluttonous Pompeo paunch (together a pitiful Pence impertinence) — is destined to end like Humpty Dumpty:
Plummeting face-first from its Wall
Mental and physical, metaphoric and actual Walls.

US Regressive Obstructionists with a mic or Twitter account


Sounding off on US-Russian Summit at Helsinki
  • Senator John McCain: USA-Russian Summit at Helsinki “tragic mistake” (We know this one can't help himself).
  • Speaker of US House of Representatives Paul Ryan: The US President “must appreciate that Russia is not our ally.… There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia, which remains hostile to our most basic values and ideals” (Ideals, Values of violence and endless war!)
  •  
  • Ryan continues: “The United States must be focused on holding Russia accountable and putting an end to its vile attacks on democracy” (US officials wouldn’t know “democracy” if it hit them in the face; so they cannot credibly presume to preach or teach or export what they neither practice nor allow in their own country, or permit in other countries they occupy or invade!)
  • Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker: The two presidents’ Helsinki press conference was “not a good moment” (A view through jaundiced eyes). 
  •  
  • Senate Armed Services Committee member US Senator Lindsey Graham: the US president “missed opportunity … to firmly hold Russia accountable for 2016 meddling and deliver a strong warning regarding future elections” (The US harmed its elections processes with a long broken and corrupt system—not to mention the fielding of unqualified candidates—that public officials are too weak, too lazy, and too beholden to narrow interests to fix).


W
HY NOT allies! What mainly politicians and pundits with a microphone refuse to see is that they are the problem, often hysterically so! These minions with mics prefer the easier course—blame, complain, ridicule, name call. And in taking this approach they show themselves up not only as petty and lazy but as regressive and obstructionist.

Americans are America’s problem. And until they get off their duffs and daises, change their attitudes and approach, there never will be lasting solutions to either the USA’s problems or world problems.

If a US president has weaknesses, fine—who doesn’t! — proffer an argument on substantive grounds, present the case, don’t ridicule and seek to embarrass; and, off mic, help to correct the problems for the sake of the US and for improved relations across nations. 

T
he working stages of bettering governance and improving global relations require no pageantry or public display. 

When public officials internalize this; when they begin to take seriously the duties of office instead of longevity or entrenchment in office, instead of pocketing lobbyist kickbacks, and scoring points for or against whatever is “trending”—then America and the world will be a whole lot better off.  

WHY NOT allies: the United States of America and the Russian Federation?



Quotes excerpted, peg for my comments 

DW news item the day Presidents Putin and Trump met in Helsinki: “Top Republicans rejected the president's ‘moral equivalency’ with regards to Russian meddling in the US 2016 election. House Speaker Paul Ryan reminded Trump that Russia was ‘no ally’ of the US.” https://www.dw.com/en/us-republicans-condemn-donald-trumps-helsinki-remarks/a-44701299
