Putin Has his Lunch, Israel never did

Bret Stephens wrote an article that ends this way: “He [Putin] is about to eat your [Obama's] lunch.” What Stephens had to do to come to this conclusion is reverse the heretofore orthodoxy of the Jewish propaganda machine of which he is a part. It is obvious that something big is happening, and the reader can see all that in the Stephens article which came under the title: “Putin's Moment” and the subtitle: “The Kremlin has an interest in conquest. The White House makes the taking easier.” It was published in the Wall Street Journal on April 8, 2014.

Whereas Stephens and those like him were inciting America to swagger its way across the planet like a giant cop who is afraid of nobody in a neighborhood of dwarfs, other pundits used to sound a note of caution, arguing that the world has changed since the time when America triumphed in the Second World War, and was left intact while the rest of the world was left in ruins. No, said the Stephens group, America is still supreme and shall remain so for all of eternity.

Well, the era of America's supremacy lasted for a while, and could have lasted somewhat longer except that a bunch of mischief makers calling themselves children of Holocaust survivors were following the commands of some funky religion, and decided to infiltrate the Rove-Cheney-Rumsfeld administration from where they worked their ass off to ruin America and weaken it in the blink of an eye. But of course, Stephens and company refused to acknowledge this reality, and continued to delude themselves into believing that America still had the wherewithal to do what the Jews wanted to see done for their benefit and for that of Israel.

All the while, the world continued to unfold in its own merry way, and did so in contradiction to what the funky religion had predicted for it. The consequence of this naturally developing history has been that Russia rose from its ashes, making impressive economic gains to the chagrin of Bret Stephens and all those like him. And this is what prompted Stephens to finally acknowledge that Russia is not as beaten down as he was describing, and that America was not as supreme as he was fantasizing.

But who does he blame? Does he blame the children of the Holocaust survivors where – truth be told – the blame really belongs? No, he does not do that. Instead, he glorifies Putin; he denigrates Obama and he blames America's degradation on Obama. To do so, he avoids describing the real contest as being between a Russia that pulled itself by its bootstraps, and an America that squandered its wealth and reputation on frivolous pursuits that only meant to serve the interests of Israel. Instead, he makes it sound like the contest was a personal one between a giant that is Putin, and a dwarf that is Obama.

So you think that Stephens has learned his lesson and will stop making predictions based on fantasies and delusions. Right? Wrong. Look at this: “On present course, Russia will get weaker, which leaves Mr. Putin with two options: Liberalize or conquer … If you were Mr. Putin, which option would you choose?”

What's that about, you ask? It's about the Jewish habit of turning reality upside down. Stephens performed that intellectual somersault because he wants the readers to believe it was not the Jews who inflated America's power while deflating that of Russia, it was Obama who did so. And here is that passage: “Mr. Obama has a habit of underestimating his foes.”

To get there, Stephens spoke of the two options that Putin has, then went on to say this: “That's what makes the White House's repeated offers of an 'off-ramp' so silly.” What's the connection Bret? What is it that ties “liberalize or conquer” with talk of “off-ramp” being silly?

And without establishing that connection, it remains that Putin is not eating Obama's lunch. Rather, it is Russia that now has the potential to eat America's lunch. This happened because it is what the children of Holocaust survivors cooked up for an American nation that was good enough to take their parents in.

America treated these people not like the jackasses and the mice that the Nazis said they were but like human beings. And this is the thank you it gets from them.
