In his last-ever speech at the UN opening ceremony, President Obama criticized the whole world, remarking that:
“We see liberal societies express opposition when women choose to cover themselves. We see protests responding to Western newspaper cartoons that caricature the Prophet Muhammad. In a world that left the age of empire behind, we see Russia attempting to recover lost glory through force. Asian powers debate competing claims of history.” According to Obama, the US is – quote – “a rare superpower in human history”.
But Adam Gurrie of The Duran debunked the President’s narrative in his article “Here’s how Obama disappointed the world’s hopes” by reminding everybody how:
“It is under Obama’s regime that the world has plunged into chaos and bloodshed. It is under Obama’s regime that stable states have been turned into bases of international and local terrorism. It is under Obama’s regime that threats to international targets of Islamic terrorism have increased. Putin’s Russia is not a global problem, but Obama’s America is.”
We discuss the UN General Assembly with our in-studio guest Andrej Krickovic, professor, Higher School of Economics; Adam Garrie, writer for The Duran and Dr. Roslyn Fuller, Research Associate at the Waterford Institute of Technology and author of “Beasts and Gods: How Democracy Changed Its Meaning and Lost Its Purpose.”
