"On the US side there is a conditional assurance." quote.
Oval has lately been occupied by playboys and scheming politicians.
The days of the statesmen like Abraham Lincoln and Dwight D. Eisenhower are over.
Oval has no permanent friends.
neither foes.
With the shifting policies of the neanderthaals occupying the oval loyalties and priorities change.
The convenience of the macho is supreme who would not hesitate delivering even the Goddess of Liberty to some dirty dozens in the interests of his buddies in the defence production industries.
The oval office has stooped down to the commission agent of the defence industry.
The two eyes of the occupant of oval (viz. the FBI and the CIA) have become fingers on the triggers, instead of restricting themselves just as the eyes of the neanderthaal, and the former is made so much power-drunk by the latters that the humanity and humility do not even linger any more in any of the corridors of the White House.
