IF LOOKS COULD KILL Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin in tense G20 standoff as the famously hostile pair fail to reach a breakthrough on Syria Grinning Putin shakes hands with stony-faced Obama after US President was snubbed by Chinese By NEAL BAKER 5th September 2016, 12:28 pm PRESIDENT Obama shared a tense exchange with Russian premier Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit in China this morning as the two failed to agree over a ceasefire in Syria.
They were pictured shaking hands in an icy encounter at the gathering of leaders from the world’s twenty biggest economies in Hangzou.
The Chinese purposefully show disrespect for our beloved President when he arrives at the G-20 Summit.
Putin dismisses any American initiatives in Syria and makes it clear that he is indifferent to Obama's concerns.
And now this:
ZitatPhilippine President Rodrigo Duterte warned President Barack Obama on Monday not to question him about extrajudicial killings, or "son of a b...h I will swear at you" when they meet in Laos during a regional summit.
Yes, no question Obama has done a much better job with our foreign relations than Cowboy Bush (snicker). Oh, and there are no reports the oceans have ceased to rise.
ZitatVIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — President Barack Obama called off a planned meeting Tuesday with new Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, seeking distance from a U.S. ally's leader during a diplomatic tour that's put Obama in close quarters with a cast of contentious world figures.
It's unusual for one president to tell another what to say or not say, and much rarer to call the other a "son of a bitch." Duterte managed to do both just before flying to Laos for a regional summit, warning Obama not to challenge him over extrajudicial killings in the Philippines.
The world has caught on to what a feckless cabal of leaders we have put in power.
