Yes, you know Barack Obama as a smiling guy with huge empathy. Such an innocent creature. I will prove you are wrong in this article when I will compare Obama with the former Czechoslovakian communist prime minister and then president Klement Gottwald.
Imagine living under harsh Stalinist rule Klement Gottwald lived as a high-ranking Eastern Block politician. You could never know who was going to die. Gottwald, a convinced communist, knew this very well and adapted to it.
The Soviet advisors wanted people (mainly communists) dead and Gottwald complied. He signed death warrants when was given a bottle of vodka (he became an alcoholic during his WW2 stint in the Soviet Union).
When we see Gottwald through common sense optic, he wasn’t evil by himself (yes, the feud between good and evil is for a whole philosophical debate). He was made evil by Soviet Union manners he has learned in Moscow and by evil ideology he adhered. I am not his apologetic. In my opinion, I cannot understand how someone could have been a communist after the Russian Civil War.
“But where is the Obama connection?” my readers are asking. For example, imagine that 20 Americans perpetrators would kill 3 000 people in the terrorist attack in Islamabad. And the Pakistani retaliation would lie in drones flying above New York City and Chicago and bombing houses. They wouldn’t know who is in the house (whether a terrorist or family), they were just given some meta-data from the internet, some probability (let’s say 50 %).
Thousands of innocent people would be killed and tens of thousands would be injured.
And guess what would American retaliation would like? Certainly the war with Pakistan.
Obama not only approved those kills, but he has also had his kill list where he had personally approved which person should be killed. Some of the drone strikes pilots defected since their conscience wouldn’t bear such actions.
It same goes with tons of secret missions America has all around the world. Their secrete services have black sites where they torture people to death. All approved by our beloved and smiling Barack.
Yes, Obama didn’t intern millions of Americans to some camps (unlike Gottwald), he didn’t kill his party’s members, torture isn’t so systemic in American prisons and Obama didn’t sign death warrants for his own citizens (only one American was killed without trial; yes, Stalin conducted extra-judicial killings).
And, of course, being a politician is a very difficult thing and you can achieve very little. Plus you have a functional establishment behind your back. Obama was made to do such attacks by the establishment to great extent. But he made them and that makes him (if justice was working) a war criminal.
