It is difficult to say who will be elected by American people, but the world (except for sterile Western Europe) has made its choice. And this choice, in spite of formal logic, is the “racist,” “sexist,” “imperialist,” “Islamophobe” Donald Trump.
In New York, the President of Egypt, el-Sisi, has met with Trump and characterized him as a “strong leader.” The presidents of the Czech Republic and Hungary, Milos Zeman and Viktor Orban, urged Americans to elect Trump. According to Orban, Trump would be a better leader than Obama, and Zeman compared him with Reagan. Russia, Israel and the Arab monarchies would also like to see Trump in the White House. In India, nationalists sing mantras devoted to Trump; in Serbia, they called out “Vote for Trump!”
It’s not surprising. During the eight-year rule of Obama, Clinton and Kerry, America has become a pariah. It is in isolation, and this is not the “brilliant isolation” of Victorian England. It is a miserable and shameful isolation. You can hardly find a regime now that wouldn’t have humiliated the leaders of the once great country and all people of America altogether.
In July, 2012 protesters in Egypt, with the connivance of the authorities, threw tomatoes and shoes at Hillary Clinton’s motorcade, accompanying this action with the shouts “Monica, Monica.” The paradox arises from the fact that Clinton was going to meet with Morsi, who was supported by her. Kerry allowed the Egyptians to search him twice before the meetings with al-Sisi, as if he were a second-rate journalist – the first time in Cairo in July 2014 and the second time in China in September 2016. This humiliation seemed fun to Kerry.
Erdogan blackmails the White House defiantly, threatening to break the strategic relationship with the US if they don’t extradite Fethullah Gülen. In response, Kerry and Biden bowed to Erdogan.
Putin regularly humiliated his “American partners,” making them wait for him. At the G20 summit in Mexico in 2012, he was 40 minutes late for the meeting with Obama. Obama and Clinton were given a slap in the face.
“Putin has made it clear that he was bored in these negotiations. He never apologized for being late,” Clinton acknowledged. However, it was a sheer trifle as compared to May 2013, when Kerry, who arrived to Moscow to discuss the conflict in Syria with Putin, had to wait for him…for three hours. Kerry did not take offense.
In June, 2014 the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that “the Polish-US alliance isn’t worth anything.” “It is downright harmful, because it creates a false sense of security,” he said. It was the lowest rating of trust to US.
In Saudi Arabia, Obama was met by the governor of Riyadh –- it was a public slap to the president. The meeting wasn’t even broadcast on Saudi TV, as if he were an ambassador of Liechtenstein. The same thing happened in Cuba. Obama, who was so proud of his “historic breakthrough” in relations with Havana, was met not by Raul Castro, but by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. However, Obama only smiled and spoke about “new horizons.”
Iranians “thanked” Obama for the lifting of sanctions by mocking the US: they arrange provocations in the Gulf regularly, publish footage featuring kneeling American Marines, and make the US pay for the release of hostages.
In China, Obama was the only world leader at the G20 summit who got off the plane through the emergency exit and without the red carpet, as if he were the head of Somaliland. Obama appealed to make no reckoning of the incident.
The President of Philippines Rodrigo Duterte called the US president a “son of a whore” and promised “to curse him” — Obama described him as a “bright guy” and discussed bilateral relations between the two countries afterwards.
This is the resume of the modern history’s epic drama: the West in general, and its flagship — the US, has turned into a whipping boy, a punching bag, an object of ridicule, vilification and abuse. And they seem to be quite happy with this situation.
Over four thousand years, mankind has not changed a great deal, and just as as far back in the past, the politics of leading countries in Eurasia — from the Eastern Europe to China and from Russia to the Arab world — is based on time-honored tradition: historical memory, the feeling of uniqueness, ancient culture and, of course, national dignity, which is the sacred category, the absence of which makes geopolitics impossible.
A rejection of national dignity, from their point of view, defeats the purpose of the very existence of the nation, and turns it into a mob, a herd, some amorphous mass. A state that abandons its national dignity is doomed.
For America and Western Europe, national dignity is mere rhetoric. For the people of Eurasia and their leaders, it is a root of life, giving the vitality that fills them with faith and hope.
They consider the Western leaders, with their naivete, mantras about peace, tolerance and “human rights,” political correctness and self-flagellation, as a miserable parody of state leaders: Pickwick Club, aliens, creatures from the incubator — pathetic, cowardly, mercantile and pathologically ignorant. This encourages them to seek new allies at best, or provokes aggression against the West at worst. For the heirs of ancient civilizations, the America of the “Obama followers,” Hillary and Kerry, is not even a “paper tiger.” It is a daffy tiger, imagining itself a kitten that drinks milk, chases its tail and falls on its back at the sight of the Iranian hyenas.
This odd “creature” causes mixed feelings. Gloating, because no one here has ever felt sympathy for the “Yankees” with their wealth and prosperity, and those who did were disillusioned. Increased salivation, because a dying hippopotamus is always an excellent dish for predators, and the ocean is no longer a strong defense against missiles, terrorism and cyber-attacks. A sense of permissiveness, because the “world policeman” has turned into a senile bumpkin with his super-modern weapons chasing Pokemons. And…confusion, because the sheriff’s resignation means chaos, anarchy, a war of all against all.
All restrictions have been removed, and the law defended by guns and batons doesn’t exist anymore. On The Island of Doctor Moreau, all are free and therefore doomed, since no one possesses a total supremacy, as the US does, but they possess deadly weapons.
That is why the world would like to see, as ironically as it sounds, a strong America again. Some of them — such as Eastern Europe, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf monarchies — would like to return to the generous patronage of the US. Others — like the Turks and the Greeks, Indians and Pakistanis — need a strong referee to avoid slipping into the abyss of all-out war. More powerful countries — like Russia and China — want to divide their spheres of influence and deal with a reliable partner.
In any case, this ally — a partner or a referee — shall be sane, strong and predictable.
The leader of the great power that wasn’t able to send helicopters to save its ambassador from the barbarian’s gang in a foreign country is miserable. The leader who promises a “reset” today, but intrudes upon your vital space tomorrow and moralizes about human rights, is unpredictable. Leaders releasing the maniac from prison can hardly be called sane. The leader who sends secret diplomatic correspondence from her mailbox raises concerns with regard to her mental abilities. Leaders who draw “red lines” and forget about them the next day; who refuse to deliver weapons to the friends fighting against terrorists in Sinai, Gaza and Yemen; leaders who cannot call Islamic terror “Islamic terror” — they inspire nothing but rage and contempt.
The world feels nostalgia for the “sheriff” and therefore prefers Trump, although they hardly like him. In any case, he is more reliable than Bronies.

“…nostalgia for the sheriff”– how perfect a description.
O seems honored to be the US leader being the target of these international insults; he’s been in their corner from the first and began his presidential career by showing ‘his’ country was now going to descend to amongst the ‘lesser-thans’. He was the biggest mocker of them all.
How he must’ve enjoyed all the being stepped (and another word beginning with ‘s’) upon throughout the years!
“Fundamental transformation” indeed. He needn’t have used that phrase; “the US has it coming” would have gained the same fawning approval among the majority of his supporters/worshippers.
So many millions are Obama-sick, and full of real dread at the notion of getting back on that same vomit-inducing wreck for another 4-8 year voyage.
LB says
The current West is a sad, pathetic creature indeed, and much irreparable damage has been done to the rest of the world because of it. Its crimes will never be forgotten, but they could be forgiven, and voting Trump is a step in the right direction.
To clarify, I don’t really like the guy. It seems to me that becoming president is just another successful business deal for him. However, with the things that Trump said, there’s a chance that he might find a greater purpose in life and actually make a difference towards restoring the West to its former glory.
Though that would require inhuman effort to root out all traitors (including every US president in the last ~30 years), bought-and-paid-for MSM, fifth columnists, muslim brotherhood agents, race-baiters, leftist whitewashers, etc, and have them all stand trial. I fear that would be too big of a bite for Trump alone to chew — and he is most certainly alone against the (Western) world right now.
Therefore, Robert Spencer, if you’re reading this, should Trump become president, you and your counter-jihad colleagues from all over the world must band together and do all in your power to help Trump become the person he should be, for he alone will not be able to do so.
Bukkdem Jizheads says
The hideous and venal left cannot be defeated by anyone but a bombastic egotistical type of leader who thunders the truth against the most corrupt candidate in history, and will brook no insult or lie.
The threat of almost two centuries; Islam, must be taken apart by philosophers, historians, geneticists. sociologists, economists and religious & elected leaders. This will require a sea change probably not remotely possible, given our climate of opinion.

Why not a man (with curious hair) who runs beauty contests (nothing wrong with beauty).
Obama and and Clinton keep saying that Trump hasn’t the right background to be a statesman who has to deal with foreign powers -as if there were a training school for would-be Presidents. What are advisors paid for?
The United States of America:
born 1776
died 2016
2017: I pity you Americans as the Two Clintons (Aaaaargh, they’re back Monica!) gleefully scream into the Oval Office to find Huma and her sour-faced mother in her burqa (niqab or whatever) sitting at the desk and staring at them. Tsk, tsk, no more levity, there are no jokes in Islam. Time to get down to the business of embalming the corpse of Democracy.
David says
Yes, it’s true. Mr. Trump is not the “perfect candidate”. But right now, a Basset Hound, would serve us better then Granny Clinton!!!
I pray daily the God himself will intercede AND SAVE AMERICA FROM ANOTHER CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE !
Crooked Hillary would sell each and every one of us (as slaves) to the Saudis or Iranians!
She and Bill have been taking cash for treason for decades. I’m sure the Devil has reserved a special place in hell for each of them.

I totally believe that these Muslim monkeys are making a catastrophic mistake, if they equate the people of America with recent governments of America.
You can p*ss on the likes of Obama, Clinton and Kerry but poke the average yank with a stick and you are going to get your arse kicked.
Don McKellar says
A good piece. Anybody with a functioning brain can tell who Americans should vote for: all they have to do is look at who the globalist corporation owned mainstream media has done everything it can to try and destroy, and then vote for that candidate. Ignore everything else. Americans need to ask themselves: “Who has our best interests and America’s best interests in mind: the globalist corporations and internet billionaires backing a shady lady or some big mouth who has spent $100 million of his own money to put his money where his mouth is and refuses superpac money and people trying to buy influence from him and says and stands for whatever the hell he thinks is right?”

Obama’s Presidency in a nutshell:
common sense says
Experience and wisdom alone are the lowest tier of usefulness when you do not hold your retainer’s (we the people) in high regard. We despise our abiding place this is a hateful thing. Those who are not Americans could only guess at the affliction true patriots feel right now.
Although this is a nice summary of Obozo’s failure (or success depending on your view), we will now proceed to demolish the corrupt, we hate them and the world will love us again for it…even if the evil one wins this election they are losers… watch us dismantle them.
The Clintons are being torn up as we read this. Fools still voting Clinton will be wishing Trump wins if he indeed does not win it. Ohio FL, Iowa, NV, NC and GA will all go to Trump, that’s how he’ll win. Furthermore the Catholic voter will vote for Trump, his indulgences as a playboy business man are more forgivable than what the Clintons have done and will continue to do without pause or apology.
Since 1972 the Catholic vote has decided the election for POTUS with the exception of Gore (who still won the popular vote).
Go to Catholicvote.org and you’ll see HEAVY anti Clinton and anti Kaine pages. We do not like them they must fade away into their own self made oblivion.
Or maybe I’ll just move to Hungary I have Cali liberal fatigue.
Defen0derofIsliam says
Trump might not carry the Roman Catholic vote like you think. Trump isnot getting the black, Hispanics and muslim vote.
gravenimage says
Not getting the Muslim vote? Quelle horreur!
I suppose that means that Hillary is pandering to violent, supremacist Mohammedans. Is that something that “Defen0derofIsliam” really wantsw to brag about here?
Kepha says
If Trump wins, the US will be the “laughingstock of the world”–if “the world” means Western Europe.
If Shrillary Shrooooooooooo wins, it means the USA will be the doormat of the world–if “the world” means everyone but the beneficiaries of the defense welfare we’ve been doling out so generously since 1947.
Carolyne says
Don’t care at all if Western Europe would consider us the “Laughingstock oft he world.” Their opinion means less than nothing to me. They are under the foot of a few little old gnomes in Vienna and Brussels who do not have their best interests at heart.
Taurus Caerulus says
Islamophobia is a survival garant!
There is nothing bad ’bout it!
I’ll go futher and will call it:
Islamomisy!
Carolyne says
The think which worries me the most about Hillary Clinton becoming President is that she will have the opportunity to appoint a number of Supreme Court Justices. The ones she will appoint will destroy the Constitution, most specifically the First and Second Amendments. We will be under the control of that anti-American Establishment the United Nations and we will be governed by their laws which do not wish us well. We must not allow that to happen.
Defen0derofIsliam says
trump will lose as the tape where he talk about sexual abuseing women in the past. His lack of judgement in entering the dressing room of the miss america teenager and miss meriAmerica ca beauty contest. Trump is being accused in court. Of law of rapeing than 13 year old girl at than party. Plus Trump is than communists agent which the FBI is looking into. Wikileaks founder rape two underage females in Sweden and he is in London in than foreign building instead of stand trial like than man.

Not only is this pretty ridiculous, but “Defen0derofIsliam” certainly believes that the only ones who are supposed to abuse women are his own violent and supremacist coreligionists.

I take to nonmuslim women and they are deep offend by this. I tha a moslim for 14 year now I never hear than moslim man talk that way about any women moslim or not moslim. And this isnot locker room talk I was in locker room than man donot talk that way.
