The Barack Obama/Vladimir Putin G-20 Show

Barack Obama, David Cameron, Angela Merkel and other G-20 chess board players seem glaringly unaware that their so-called “rival” Vladimir Putin surfs the net for information like the rest of us do. The coddled, globe-trotting G-20 players, who are now portraying themselves as ready to stick it to the murderous Islamic State, are the one and the same who let the barbarians in through the gates of their own home nations.

Vulnerable borderless citizens of the world recognize that their security is zero under Western leadership--but treacherous ex-KGB agent Vladimir Put doesn’t? “Rivals Obama and Putin on Sunday chatted in a foursome with Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice and a Russian aide. (Daily Mail, Nov. 15, 2015) Their photographed pow-wow was visible on a television feed-- that just happened to be provided by the summit’s host country of Turkey--but imagination and speculation will have to fill in the gaps because--their conversation couldn’t be heard. Reporters weren’t allowed in on the meeting which took place during a “working lunch” for leaders attending the summit. The food seemed mysteriously missing from this “working lunch” as no food can be seen in the picture. Only the proletariat are expected to roll out of bed in time for breakfast, but G20 players can always expect a working lunch. This is the gist of the intensity of the meeting as described by The Daily Mail:”Obama and Putin both leaned in close to each other as they talked, with Obama gesturing expressively with his hands.”

Who does the mainstream media think they’re kidding here? The relationship between Obama and Putin didn’t just get captured in a Dmitry Medvedev-like photo. Obama boasts he has a pen and a phone. He can talk on that braggadocio phone to Putin anytime he wants, whether anyone knows or not, and likely always has. How’s this for lofty rhetoric on the Paris tragedy from Obama’s more public address? “The skies have been darkened by the horrific attacks that took place in Paris,” Obama also said in his public address. “The killing of innocent people based on a twisted ideology is an attack not just on France … it's an attack on the civilized world.” (Fox News, Nov. 15, 2015) Just weeks from now Obama will say that coming skies will be permanently darkened by a global warming/climate change both he and Pope Francis have described as this world’s Number One threat. Obama gave the “twisted ideology” he cited in his G-20 address an accelerated pass the Paris attacks notwithstanding: “The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon.” So reported the AP last week, based on a Reuters interview with administration officials. The report adds: The move comes after President Barack Obama pledged in September to admit an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, torn by four years of civil war and disorder. The U.S. State Department confirmed the plans to open a refugee settlement processing centre in Erbil, Iraq, before the end of 2015, and to resume refugee processing in Lebanon in early 2016, said spokeswoman Danna Van Brandt.” (NationalReview, Nov. 14, 2015) But don’t worry, the G-20 players paused for a minute’s silence to honour the 129 victims of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, and for the 102 people who died in Ankara in October when two bombs were detonated outside a railway station there. We don’t know where “rival” Putin was during the G-20’s Minute of Silence, but reminding the world of his importance, Obama was late for it: “President Obama walked in late Sunday on a moment of silence being held by world leaders in Turkey to honor the victims of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris. (Washington Times, Nov. 16, 2015)

“Reporters traveling with the president said Mr. Obama had not yet arrived when other world leaders at the G-20 conference in Turkey began their silent observance around a large conference table. “Mr. Obama walked in after they had begun, and took his place next to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “When the leaders began their working session, Mr. Obama said the Paris attacks show “there is a strong link between economy and security.” “In a reference to the Syrian refugee crisis, he said “society has not passed this exam with good grades.”

Word from Obama is we don’t have to worry about Syria anymore: ”A White House official said Obama and Putin had agreed the United Nations would mediate negotiations between the Syrian opposition and the (Assad) regime after a ceasefire. Meanwhile, no one in the G-20 family called Obama out for showing up late for its minute of silence honouring the dead of Friday’s terrorist attacks, further proof that the G-20 family and the one sympathetic to Islamist terrorism are the same.
