Sore loser...

Sore loser….losers are always sore, whether it is a man or woman. Latvia`s president who ran for the top job at the United Nations, whose sole strength was based on the fact that she was a woman, lost her bid for the next Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Predictably, she is blaming her loss on the old-boy network, although polished diplomats from 15 countries that form the Security Council discussing the candidate for the next Secretary-General bears hardly any semblance to what people usually think of when they hear the much-cited-but-never-proven phrase “old-boy network” But it doesn`t matter as long as the Latvian loser and feminists could grab headlines with this sound-bite.

No, it`s Russia and China, stupid・ For geopolitical and historical reasons, these two countries were not going to vote for this woman anyway. If you cannot figure out this kind of most basic world politics 101, you are definitely not up to the task of the Secretary-General. I don`t know why a woman with this kind of infantile understanding of world politics rose to the top post in Latvia, -Latvians should awaken to this fact and some reflections may be needed on having such feminist-mouthpiece as the head of own State. Vaira, maybe my grandmother is more suited for the post than you are, as at least she doesn`t suffer from peculiar feminists` symptom, or what I call patriarchy conspiracy theory paranoia. And, oh, she is a woman. So, according to you Vaira, she passes the most important litmus test for the next Secretary-General.
