Neither, considering the source.
US President oliar and Secretary of State John (Lurch) Kerry have made a laughing stock of the United States by attacking Russia for violating the integrity of Ukraine.
James Fetzer, professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota Duluth, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Sunday.
Obama and Kerry are making the mockery of the United states by assailing Russia for violating the integrity of Ukraine with the United States has violated the integrity of nation after nation, nation after nation, including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, Fetzer said.
Barack Obama has sent military forces to 17 different African nations by himself. Where does that come from? Where that ability to lie with a straight face to the world has emanated? asked Fetzer, who has written several books on important issues, such as the theoretical foundations of scientific knowledge, computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and evolution and mentality.
The whole world knows that the United States invested billions of dollars in destabilizing the political situation in Ukraine he added.
[Russian President] Vladimir Putin is acting in the interests of Russia against this staged c**p [in Ukraine], particularly with regards to Crimea where today I have no doubts that the v**ers will overwhelmingly support, declaring its independence from Ukraine, and be followed by its desire to join with Russia, which is the appropriate thing to do, noted Fetzer.
On Sunday, residents of the autonomous Ukrainian region of Crimea v**ed to decide whether to break away from Ukraine and rejoin Russia in a referendum.
He also stated that the Russian president is the only world leader who is working for peace. Putin, I must say is the only world leader, who has stridden the international scene, who is working for the objectives of peace as he has done in relation with Syria, and where he is supporting diplomatic negotiations with Iran over its non-existent nuclear weapons program.
The US academic went on to say that the deceit and deception by the United States, it seems to me has no bounds.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/03/16/354961/obama-kerry-made-laughing-stock-of-us/ What has the FRB and Wall Street banksters' and their proxy politicians' (namely Oliar and lurch Kerry) panties in a wad is that Iran has demonstrated that they can exist in a world without the US petrodollar.
The old superpower, the US, has the worlds reserve currency, which allows it to run an untouchable military empire basically for free, simply by creating otherwise-worthless pieces of paper and/or their electronic equivalent. Russia and China cant do that, and would see their currencies and by extension their economies collapse if they tried.
So before they can boot the US military out of Asia and Eastern Europe, they have to strip the petrodollar of its dominant role in world trade, especially of Middle Eastern oil. And thats exactly what theyre doing.

"China And Russia Are Ruthlessly Cutting The Legs Out From Under The U.S. Dollar
China and Russia are not the buddies of the United States. The t***h is that they are both ruthless competitors of the United States and leaders from both nations have been calling for a new global currency for years.
They dont like that the United States has a built-in advantage of having the reserve currency of the world, and over the past several years both countries have been busy making international agreements that seek to chip away at that advantage.
Just the other day, China and Germany agreed to start conducting an increasing amount of trade with each other in their own currencies.
You would think that a major currency agreement between the 2nd and 4th largest economies on the face of the planet would make headlines all over the United States.
Instead, the silence in the U.S. media was deafening.
However, the t***h is that both Russia and China have been making deals like this all over the globe in recent years. I detailed 11 more major agreements like the one that China and Germany just made in this article: 11 International Agreements That Are Nails In The Coffin Of The Petrodollar.
A few of the things that will likely happen when the petrodollar dies
.
-Oil will cost a lot more.
-Everything will cost a lot more.
-There will be a lot less foreign demand for U.S. government debt.
-Interest rates on U.S. government debt will rise.
-Interest rates on just about everything in the U.S. economy will rise.
So enjoy going to the dollar store while you can.
It will turn into the five and ten dollar store soon enough."
Both China and Russia are accumulating massive stockpiles of gold, which will protect them from the coming currency crisis and give the ruble and yuan greater legitimacy in global trade. In Jim Rickards book Currency Wars, he tells the story of financial war games conducted by the US military, in which one of the scenarios was a Russian gold backed currency that challenged the petrodollar. Were apparently not far from that plan becoming feasible.
The US spends a big chunk of its $750 billion a year defense budget on dominating the Middle East in order to force the trading of oil in petrodollars. Let that trade be diversified into several currencies and the demand for petrodollars goes way down. Central banks and global corporations will sell part of their dollar holdings, sending the dollars exchange rate into a tailspin. This in turn will make it harder for the US to finance its corporate welfare/military empire state.
Of course, when the "economic s**t" hits the fan the middle class in the US will be destroyed. It ain't gonna be pretty, folks!
