going to think that everything is great, because we gave the Americans a
blowjob. Suckers. Total suckersâ
We already know how many muslims (especially sunnis) feel: America is to blame for the mess that is Middle East North America (MENA). Even acts of evil perpetrated by local dictators is explained (excused) away like this: “it could not have happened without a signal from xyz American embassy.” Arabs/muslims have no independent agency (this according to Arabs/muslims themselves).
Now we get to see the diplomatic equivalent of the above sentiment (yes, a single anecdote) expressed from the leader of the most pro-american, ex-Russian-victim people who know deep in their hearts that if Russia does march out and re-conquer Warsaw (the old “friendship” pact used to be called Warsaw pact, ho ho ho), there is nothing that Obama can/will do to stop it.
Power grows out of the barrel of the gun (as Mao would gladly explain to the Nobel Peace Prize winner and anti-gun crusader).
You really cant help feeling sorry for the globo-cop, s/he is in charge of keeping the peace and yet get very little thanks from allies (also bitter condemnation from rivals). Yet american leaders (including Obama) have not really considered anything drastic in response – for example withdraw troops from Korea, Japan, and Europe. Indeed the plans are in the offing for new bases in Australia, Kurdistan and Philippines and even Vietnam may be a possibility.
So, what explains this behavior of the american elites- the NEO-con right and the NEO-liberal left?

generally viewed as a leading ally of the United States in Europe, said
in a mysteriously-leaked recording Sunday that the alliance between the
two countries is ânot worth anything.â

âThe Polish-American alliance is not worth anything. Itâs even
damaging, because it creates a false sense of security in Poland,â
Sikorski says on an excerpt of a longer conversation set to be published
Monday morning in the magazine Wprost,
which is reportedly between Sikorski and former finance minister Jacek
Rostowski.
Itâs unclear who recorded the conversation said to be from
this spring, and why, though speculation has focused on Russian
intelligence, which is believed to have leaked a similarly embarrassing conversation between American officials.
After his interlocutor asks why heâs skeptical of the alliance, Sikorski continues that it is âbullshit.â
…
âWe are gonna conflict with both Russians and Germans, and weâre
going to think that everything is great, because we gave the Americans a
blowjob. Suckers. Total suckers,â Sikorski says, according to a
translation of the account for BuzzFeed.
…
The recording is one of many made of politiciansâ conversations in
posh restaurants, and has emerged as a massive problem for the countryâs
ruling Civic Platform.
…
Sikorski also employs a racially-charged word in the conversation, describing the mentality of Poles as âMurzyĆskoĆÄ.â An English-language Polish outlet described the phrase as meaning âthinking âlike a Negro.ââ
…
Sikorski said
on Twitter that he hadnât been to the restaurant in which he was
allegedly recorded; Wprostâs editor said the recording had in fact been
made in a different location.
