Some are asking if Obama will take the next step and repair US-Russian relations and bring the Ukrainian imbroglio to an end?<\/p>\n<p>If so he hasn\u2019t told Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland or his nominee as Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Paul Selva, or his nominee as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine General Joseph Dunford, or his Secretary of the Air Force, Deborah Lee James.<\/p>\n<p>The other day on Ukrainian TV Victoria Nuland declared that if Russia does not \u201cfulfill its obligations,\u201d by which she means to turn all of Ukraine over to Washington including Crimea, a historical Russian province, \u201cwe\u2019re prepared to put more pressure on Russia.\u201d During the past week both of Obama\u2019s nominees to the top military positions told the US Senate that Russia was the main threat to the US, an \u201cexistential threat\u201d even. With this level of war rhetoric in play, clearly Obama has no interest in reducing the tensions that Washington has created with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>In my last column I wrote that the agreement with Iran does not mean much, because Washington can renew the sanctions at any time merely by making false charges against Iran. Obama knows this even if Lindsey Graham and John McCain pretend that they don\u2019t know it.<\/p>\n<p>The US and its proxies continue to murder people over a large area of the earth. Clearly Obama is not a man of peace, and neither are his European enablers and the United Nations. So what is the reason for the accommodation with Iran after many years of rabid demonization of a country for no other reason than the country insisted on its rights to nuclear energy granted by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Real Reasons For the Iran Agreement Obama is being praised as a man of peace for the nuclear agreement with Iran.
