Obama: "Americnas are exceptional" VS Putin: “God created us equal"

The two controversial statements by U.S ad Russian leaders captured my attention greatly. Putin accuses the U.S of self-appoint to become the corp over all nations in the ideology of exceptionalism of Americans by saying that all human beings are equal as the following part of the story reads:

The Russian president ended his op-ed -- just after mentioning a "growing trust" between him and his U.S. counterpart -- with a swipe at a remark Obama made Tuesday contending that "with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death and thereby make our own children safer over the long run."


"I believe we should act," Obama said then. "That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth."


Putin challenged the statement, saying, "It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation."


"We are all different," the Russian leader concluded, "but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

It's due to the fact that currently US has a weak president. Obama is weak. Obama is a coward. Obama ain't got no spine nor balls just like Jimmy Carter.
Americans miss the cowboy from Texas

The old drama continues, but in the recent course of events the Russians have had the upper hand.

Whistle blower Snowden is sheltered by Moscow, Putin has succeeded in halting millitary action against Syria. Whats next the next move for the US to get back in the game?

Underestimate United States at your owm perils

Last century Hitler said that Germans are exceptional. Do you know his final???

nilivyomsoma putin tangu uchaguzi wa mwanzo na background yake huyu jamaa alikuwa member katika kgb, pia ni kiongozi aliyewahi kutamka hadharani kwamba kushindwa kwa urusi katika vita baridi ilikuwa pigo kubwa na maamuzi yale yanawaumiza sana akiwalaumu waliomwachia madaraka especially Mikhail Gorbachev. kiufupi Putin anataka kuturudisha kwenye enzi hizo akiwa anataka watu waitambue russia kama taifa lenye uwezo mkubwa kama tunavyolitazama taifa la marekani. cha ajabu china waliwahi kuwa partners wame-excell zaidi kiuchumi na kitechnolojia kuliko wa-russia na wanaonekana kulinganishwa na usa zaidi. wa-russia wamekuwa wakiendeleza chokochoko na usa kupitia nchi mbalimbali especially za uarabuni ambazo zimeonyesha uadui mkubwa na usa wakiziwezesha kijeshi na kitechnolojia ili kumdhohofisha marekani.putin ni mtu cunning sana na mwenye mawazo ya kale anayejifunza mapigano ya judo. obama ni one of the most intelligent president waliowahi kutawala marekani, ameshasoma alama za nyakati na anajua namna ya kum-supersede russia. china ni tofauti sana, wao wanachofanya ni ku-maintain integrity yao kwa kutojali utawala bora wa nchi mbalimbali na wakilenga zaidi kunufaika ki-uchumi na kulinda heshima yao.kitu ninachokiona ni kuwa ipo siku china itavuna inachopanda pale wananchi wa nchi hizi changa watakapoanzisha ugaidi kupambana na china kwa madai zinanyonywa na china anayejifanya rafiki mwema wa leo hii. nchi hizo nahofu ikiwemo tanzania ambayo hadi viongozi wa china wamenunua jezi za kijani na wamegeuka kuwa wanachama halali wa chama cha mapinduzi. huku bidhaa feki kutoka kwao zikiendelea kuyumbisha uchumi wa nchi kwa kulundikana na kuinufaisha nchi yao.
