Joe Biden arrived in Kiev right at the time when Ukrainians were about to observe the remembrance day for the victims of the 1933 genocide of Ukrainians when millions of people were purposefully starved to death solely for being Ukrainian.
In the midst of this moment of grief, Biden cheerfully announced that the US had no interest in helping Ukraine in its war with Russia and that Ukrainians were to accept all of the Russians’ demands.
Ukrainians – who until this moment had retained the collective delusion that Obama ‘ s talk about anti – Putin sanctions actually meant something – reacted with shock and grief. Biden was almost beaten up by the crowd of angry Ukrainians after lecturing the people of a war – torn country on the importance of finding “a peaceful solution.”
Biden ‘ s speech was enthusiastically received by the peaceniks in Kremlin who immediately dispatched a significant number of troops towards the Ukrainian border.
Yet another enormous victory for Obama ‘ s diplomacy.

I know. The whole thing would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragic. Why did Biden have to choose this moment to show up with his speech? It’s also the first anniversary of the Maidan. Couldn’t he have delivered the same cruel message 2 weeks before or after?

Ukraine is poorer than Russia and in the new post state world that matters more than rule of law.

If only I could convince myself that this is economically motivated, I’d be a happy person. But I fear that this isn’t about money, especially since Obama isn’t benefiting from Putin ‘ s riches. I have this inescapable and obnoxious suspicion that, like a true Liberal that he is, Obama likes Putin. And it’s useless to argue with love.

I wasn’t clear. It’s not economics per se, it’s power. Without states in any meaningful sense then relations between international actors will devolve into brute power relations. Obama understands and respects that.

I wonder what the nice guy Obama would have done if this guy had been actually beaten up in Ukraine.

Yes, I would have. The opponent had no idea what Ukraine even was. Didn’t recognize the word.

I’ve had Westerners treat me like that too–and to be plain, the assistance I was asking from them was very little indeed, just by way of moral support and if someone could please speak to my father and get him to stop acting out his psychological problems.
I was addressed with the most extreme baby talk and told “by the way, other people have different views on the topic” — as if what I had been presenting was a theoretical proposition or a request for others to accept my views.
Western culture is so fucking immature.

That’s a very powerful expression, musteryou. Extremist babytalkers. Describes the phenomenon prefectly. If you don’t mind I would insert it into my own vocabulary :-).
