U.S. RIDING TWO HORSES

     U.S. Riding Two Horses

 

As usual, the U.S. leaders have decided to mount a different horse when it comes to deciding what's best for some other country...no matter that ours is going Hell. Meddling in other nations affairs has always been a thorn in the side of America. Our leaders say they do what's best for America and promulgates the idea that America knows what's best for every other country. How's that working out for us?

 

Crimeans have just voted to leave the Ukraine and rejoin Mother Russia by a vote of 95%. But, obama, John Kerry, John McCain and some others say, "No, you can't do that  because it is against International law". They give no recognition that this is what the citizens of Crimea want. But, our leaders say that the Russians "occupied" Crimea. Wrong! The Russians were invited in by the Crimean government.

 

But the U.S. rode a different horse when in 2008 the Assembly of Kosovo just declared its independence from Serbia. George W. Bush was the first to welcome and recognize their independence. The people of Kosovo didn't even vote on the declaration. They read it in the newspapers. The EU welcomed Kosovo with open arms. Russia didn't like it but it was none of their business either.

 

Quebec has had more than one referendum to declare its independence from Canada. Where is America's outrage. The U.S. was born by declaring its independence. England had troops on the ground. Were we "occupied"? Lots of semantics in politics.

 

The U.S has a big corral of horses and they'll trot out a stallion, or a mare in the case of Hillary, depending on which horse they want to ride that day.

 

The people of the Crimea have spoken...just let them live the lives they have voted for. If it was a bad choice for them down the road...so be it. They are Russians and want to be with Mother Russia.
