President Barack Obama who has told world leaders that U.S. Americans are exceptional is overdue to come off the high horse. What Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Victoria Nuland, thinks about the European Union (“Fuck the EU”; see the above video where she makes her derogative remark at 3:00) is once more revealing and perfectly fits with Obama’s ill manners of wiretapping German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone, after all a strong ally.

That Nuland’s telephone call with the American Ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey R. Pyatt, about America meddling as usual in the current Ukrainian turmoil had been tapped by Russia is one thing; after all (Snowden etc.) Nuland should have encrypted her phone. That “Fuck the E.U.” has been uploaded to youtube is another, of course. America’s paranoid terror alerts in the run up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi have already poisened the games, and Putin can probably hardly hide schadenfreude about Nuland’s derailment.
