Criminal Actions by Obama; Two Wrongs Make a Right Posted: 22 Mar 2014 05:40 PM PDT To President Obama, two wrongs make a right. Also, might makes right. Suppose a neighbor steals your cat. Would it even be morally just to punch another neighbor (or the neighbor's kid) in the face to retaliate? If you are president Obama, the answer is yes. Please consider How Obama Crippled a Russian Bank with a Stroke of a Pen. On Thursday, President Obama sent a message to Russian president Vladimir Putin about strength. Specifically, economic strength. The message was this: Whenever I decide to, I can pick up a pen, and kill a significant financial institution in your country.Criminal Actions by Obama Bank Rossiya is frozen out of the US dollar even though it is not a rogue bank, is not involved in any criminal investigation, and in fact has not done anything wrong. I cannot predict the result of this, and also suspect the impact as assessed above is a bit trumped up. After all, how many US dollar transactions does Bank Rossiya conduct? Regardless, the actions of Obama are disturbing. You do not (rather you should not), punch an innocent party in the face as a means to force a third party to do what you want. The action by Obama is both criminal and hypocritical. And I bet it does not even work. Mike "Mish" Shedlock http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com |
