In the beginning was Obama, and Obama was with Biden, and Obama was Begins. Surrogate wisdom of Obama gave Crimea to Putin in the hope of appeasing the Kremlin psychopath. Obama hoped to transform Putin's intentions to destroy Ukraine into a local conflict. One more Ukraine, one less Ukraine, right?
Unfortunately, geopolitics is not playing the saxophone at a country gentleman's club. Moreover, geopolitics is not a game of basketball. Geopolitics requires a strategic vision. Where does the strategic vision come from today's small-town-minded political leaders?
There were Obama Forerunners: Bill Clinton and Jacques Chirac.
Bill Clinton took away nuclear weapons from Ukraine and allowed Putin to destroy Chechnya. How could this be possible? It was simple, elegant and with a look of satisfaction on his face.
There were their followers: Merkel and Sarkozy. Comrade Merkel has done a lot for Putin. She destroyed the German army. She destroyed the German nuclear industry. She put the German economy on Putin's gas needle.
Two gas pipelines are like Putin’s two fingers in a wound on the body of Europe.
Sarkozy was the epitome of a useful idiot and stupidity. He allowed Putin to take over a huge part of Georgia. Absolutely free?
Hence, the monster Putin did not appear out of nowhere. In pursuit of their subjective interests, he was nurtured by short-sighted politicians. These politicians put their subjective interests above the objective interests of their countries.
Has the situation changed today, when the Russian-Ukrainian war has transformed from a local conflict into a war for the existence of Europe itself?
Changes are taking place, but only partially. Macron was the first to recognize the existential threat to Europe from Putin. Perhaps Putin’s African pranks contributed to Macron’s transfiguration. Be that as it may, Macron is the real leader of the European Union in opposing Putin’s potential invasion of Europe. And thank God he suddenly remembered that France has nuclear weapons.
As for the US, there are several factors. First, we need to remember who was Obama's vice president.
Secondly, we must keep in mind Trump this ship cannon, which has broken loose and is rushing all over the political deck.
Thirdly, there is Gollum Johnson, the immoral jewel in Trump's crown. There is no doubt that Trump and Johnson are powerful strategic thinkers. THIS IS A DARK IRONY!
It looks like these two gentlemen fully admit a European war between barbaric Russia and civilized Europe. Trump is raving about the US leaving NATO. Leaving Europe to be eaten by Putin, Trump will find that he will have to think about the existence of the United States.
Johnson.... looking at Johnson from Ukraine, where hundreds of people are dying every day, we can say the following. Envy not the glory of Mike Johnson: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
