Obama Sits At The Children's Table

When I cast my ballot for Obama, I sure did not envision him starting three wars and starting shit with the Russians.  Fortunately, he lost both Syria and Ukraine while they were still in the attempted war stage according to Pepe Escobar.  Libya is another story, but let's talk about the Ukraine for a moment.  

I completed a Bachelor's Degree in History from a prestigious university, and a Master's in Library and Information Science from one of the top Universities in the world.  I know a thing or two about the history of the United States during specific periods, and a bit about modern Latin America.  While I took a one year survey in Russian history as an undergrad, I know very little about Russia, and even less about the Ukraine and other places in Eastern Europe.  But what I do know is exponentially more than 98% of Americans.  So give me a little respect here.  

The Ukrainians that had been here for some time and assimilated between 1890 and 1985 are not the Ukrainians that I am about to talk about.  I have had some experience with established Ukrainians but my contact with them has been limited.  My dealings with them have not been particularly noteworthy. My only lasting impression was that they were not very friendly.  A little cold.  

Since the dissolution of the USSR, I have personally met about a dozen Ukrainians who have come over since 1990.  Let me say at the outset that I do not like to make blanket statements about groups of people, especially people like Ukrainians that I am not too familiar with.  The following observations are limited only to the dozen or so that I have personally met and done some business with on some level or another.  Let me tell you what I observed.  

Firstly, each and every one of the Ukrainians went through great lengths to explain to me that they were not Jews.  I am not usually interested in another man's religion.  All of these people without exception wanted me to know they were not Jews and furthermore questioned me about any prospective Jewishness.  It made me feel very uncomfortable.  The assertions.  The questions.  The outright anti-Semitism when they discovered that I was Catholic and let them keep talking.  Or spewing hate, rather. 

Then they wanted to talk about how they hated Russians.  By that time, they understood that I had a rudimentary degree of knowledge about their history and that I knew that they were not Russian and furthermore hated the Russians almost as much as they hate the Jews.  So these are the people on the ground that we are supporting and that the Russians are opposing.  To call all of the Ukrainians that I am talking about Fascists would be an understatement.  They are more like National Socialists or Nazis.  

I am sure there are many upstanding individuals from the Ukraine are tolerant and not anti-Semitic.  I have not met any personally over here, however.  

Secondly, I had a certain kind of work that I was doing for each of these people.  It always takes about a year to complete the task that they paid me to do.  Over the course of the year, there is nothing to talk about.  It is something that I always disclose at the outset, and on my contract, I always have them initial that they understand that the process takes one year.  Each and every one of the Ukrainians that I entered into a contract with were not satisfied and made it very hard to do my job.  I spent more time putting out fires than doing what I was paid to do.  When it was done, they were NEVER happy.  I am glad I am in a different business these days.  You know what I am trying to say.  

I am sure that the prospect of NATO getting control over Sebastapol is worth supporting nazi gangsters over.  No wonder Obama sits at the children's table, and the adults in the room like Putin are able to stop his GW Bush style wars when they are still attempted wars.  At least that has been the case in Syria and in the Ukraine.
