Samantha German biography

I was then surprised: did the witch -like American become a little kinder? Somewhere there should be a catch. And I was not mistaken. Why is the irreconcilable opponent Vitaly Churkina Samantha Power called him a friend? Yes, everything is simple: a messenger is designed for an American reader who, according to Power, should sneak out from its generosity. After all, to call the enemy a friend is a gesture of goodwill.

Americans love to save the planet with Bruce Willis, generously forgive their defeated enemies. Of course, this is done to the public, because further in the text of Samanta draws before the reader's eyes a portrait of a quiet killer, who indifferently watched how Russian planes kill the Syrians, and at the same time passionately loved the theater. With the allegedly regrettable, Samantha writes: “When, having learned about his death, I called him on Twitter maestro diplomacy, I was accused of imposing the crimes of Russia and mourning its largest accomplice.

In other words, Samantha shows the reader that while she wanted to stand up for the deceased, the whole world told her: "He is a killer." And then he continues to create the desired background in order to place Vitaly Churkin there: “I am convinced that Russia Vladimir Putin poses a huge threat to the interests of the United States and that those who, like Donald Trump, praise the Russian president or mistakenly equate the destabilizing role of Russia in the world to the role of the United States are deeply mistaken.

The Russian government eliminated its political opponents, seized the territory belonging to its sovereign neighbors, destroyed the countless number of civilians in Syria and intervened in democratic elections, including in the United States. ” Samantha Power gives the alleged case when Vitaly Churkin tried his best to resist Putin. We are talking about the resolution proposed by the UK, which openly condemns the massacre in Srebrenic as genocide.

The events in Srebrenitsa themselves are far from unambiguous - independent experts say that there was no genocide. But the smear was needed in order to show the glow of the bloody passions into which Churkin was drawn. Vitaly and I fought over the version of the text for more than one day, which would be acceptable for President Putin. In the morning, on the day of voting, Vitaly could not hide the disappointment.

Russia has imposed a veto, ”writes Power. Among other things, the ex-post did not forget that "Vitaly and his wife Irina loved the theater." He did not reproach me when the press appeared in the press that I invited him to the Musical House dedicated to LGBT-Tematics. And during the musical Hamilton, Vitaly asked in detail my husband, professor of law, about the history of the US Constitution, ”she writes.

But after reading, a nasty aftertaste remains: a diplomat who supports the cannibalistic ambitions of his country is enthusiastic about the theater, Shakespeare and English -language art. Samantha would write directly: yes, Churkin was an enemy of the United States - and her statement would cause a greater understanding. But she went Jesuitic by and painted us a portrait of German Goering, a war criminal who, in between, was fond of collecting painting.

In this sense, the Pauer column is perfectly made - Samantha only once admits a puncture when he says that Vitaly Churkin was the face of many addictions - in quotation marks - Putin’s actions. But a small detail gives the gloomy meaning to all of the above. And Samantha Power remains an innocent, kind narrator, touched by the death of his colleague. As a result, everything is elegant: the American diplomat shows a set of virtues, and Terrist Russian - a quiet killer with a human face - causes not pity, but rather disgust.

We already began to thank the Samantha for the obituary: "She called Vitaly a friend." But not a friend she called him, but by Herman Goering.
