The Russians ARE reeling Senaratne. They too,
like us, are unable and incapable of anticipating the long term consequences of
their short term actions, which, initially plays well with the gallery crowd
who then think their leader is a macho hero. Then the long term consequences
begin to bite and the gallery crowed are left well and truly stranded. Now
27,000 Russian citizens are stranded overseas and planes are getting grounded
etc etc. Read: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28637794
It was the Sri Lankans who suffered for 30 years not the
international community. Some western politicians are after Tamil votes and the
Human rights industry is doing their best to earn their bread and butter.
To do a regime change there has to an alternative. But who
or what is the alternative. There is no one capable of challenging Rajapaksa.
Only Sajith Premadasa has a chance but he is not mature enough at the moment.
In my view nothing will happen in the next 24 months. The
Clinton – O Blake strategy of scaring off Sri Lanka and kicking the Chinese out
of the island has miserable failed. Sri Lanka can successfully continue to
ignore these non binding UNHCR resolutions. After all Obama would not want to mess
up a country that is growing over 7% after suffering for 30 years. He just can’t
leave with such bad credentials after messing up in Ukraine, Syria etc.
Kevin: The russians are reeling? Geez, try to control your excitement about a regime change and the rise of terrorism again!
