Naib Presiden Amerika Syarikat Joseph Biden (U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden (Reuters/Larry Downing)
Bagaimana anda boleh membuat orang lain mengenakan sekatan, menjadi mereka kurang baik?
Sebagai Joe Biden bercakap di Harvard, Amerika Syarikat dasar global telah agak mendedahkan - atau hanya tergelincir keluar. Berikut adalah 5 yang disebut atas beliau.
Memerangi keganasan adalah "Unsur yang ke-4" Amerika Syarikat dasar luar, Biden memberitahu pelajar Harvard. Walaupun beliau menyebut militan Negara Islam di Syria & Iraq, beliau juga menyatakan bahwa pemberontak tdk Washington "Masalah paling besar di Syria." Sebaliknya, beliau berkata halangan terbesar sebe-narnya Amerika "sekutu di rantau ini."
Beliau menjelaskan bahawa masalah ini berpunca dari Turki, Qatar, Arab Saudi, dan Emiriah Arab Bersatu, kerana negara-negara adalah "begitu berazam untuk mengambil Assad." Beliau menambah bahawa mereka memulakan "perang proksi Sunni-Syiah" membekalkan wang tunai untuk mereka yang menentang presiden Syria.
BIDEN’s top 5: US policy SECRETS Revealed
in VP’s Harvard SPEEH . . .
Who are Washington's foes in the Middle East? How can you make others impose sanctions, to their disadvantage? As Joe Biden spoke at Harvard, US global policies were somewhat revealed – or simply slipped out. Here are his top five quotes.
Fighting terrorism is the “fourth element” of US foreign policy, Biden told Harvard students. Though he mentioned Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq, he also stated that the insurgents are not Washington's “biggest problem in Syria.” Instead, he said the largest hurdle is actually America's “allies in the region.”
He elaborated that the problems are stemming from Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, because those nations are “so determined to take down Assad.” He added that they started a “proxy Sunni-Shia war” supplying cash to those fighting against the Syrian president.

Pada Turki mengakui yang 'kesilapan'
Dalam ayat-ayat lain yg tdk dijangka, Biden berkata bahawa "rakan lamanya" - Presiden Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan - mengakui bahawa Amerika Syarikat adalah "betul."
On Turkey admitting its ‘mistake’
In another unexpected revelation, Biden said that “his old friend” – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – admitted that the US was “right.”
Tetapi ada satu masalah sedikit dgn kenyataan itu - Erdogan mendakwa bahawa dia tidak pernah mengatakan apa2 benda itu kepada Biden, & menuntut permo-honan maaf. Naib Presiden Amerika Syarikat itu, sebenarnya, meminta maaf dalam panggilan telefon kepada Erdogan, "menjelaskan" apa yang dimaksudkan untuk mengatakan.
Beliau kemudiannya terpaksa mengucapkan permohonan maaf yang lain, selepas Emiriah Arab Bersatu menyatakan "kejutan" yang kononnya lebih "Masalah paling besar" Washington di Timur Tengah.
Rasuah di Ukraine
Bercakap mengenai peranan Washington dalam konflik Ukraine, Biden memuji pentadbiran Obama utk "membantu" krisis negeri yang dilanda rasuah perjuangan - sementara Presiden Putin "berusaha utk menyimpan Ukraine lemah" melaluinya.
"Kami membantu mereka pemimpin melawan rasuah [. . .] dengan membantu mereka menulis undang-undang baru, menubuhkan sebuah badan kehakiman yang baru dan banyak lagi," katanya.

Biden tidak menjelaskan apa yang dimaksudkan dengan "banyak lagi," tetapi ada video di YouTube yg mendakwa bahawa Amerika Syarikat perkhidmatan kesela-matan swasta yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai Blackwater beroperasi ‘operating’ di bandar Ukraine timur Donetsk.
Pada membuat EU mengenakan sekatan
Biden juga mengakui bahawa ia adalah Amerika Syarikat yang menolak EU ke dalam memperluaskan sekatan ke atas Rusia ke atas Ukraine. "Memang benar mereka tidak mahu berbuat demikian," katanya.
But there was just one slight problem with that statement – Erdogan claimed that he had never said any such thing to Biden, and demanded an apology. The US vice president did, in fact, apologize in a phone call to Erdogan, “clarifying” what he meant to say.
He then had to utter another apology, after the United Arab Emirates expressed “surprise” over supposedly being Washington's “biggest problem” in the Middle East.
On corruption in Ukraine
Speaking on Washington's role in the Ukrainian conflict, Biden praised the Obama administration for “helping” the crisis-torn state fight corruption – while President Putin “sought to keep Ukraine weak” through it.
"We’re helping those leaders fight back corruption […] by helping them write new laws, set up a new judiciary and much more," he said.
Biden did not clarify what he meant by “much more,” but there have been videos on YouTube alleging that the US private security service formerly known as Blackwater is operating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk.
On making EU impose sanctions
Biden also confessed that it was the US which pushed the EU into extending sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. “It is true they did not want to do that,” he said.
Tetapi ia mungkin lebih mudah bagi Washington untuk membuat keputusan ter-sebut daripada EU. Lagipun, Amerika Syarikat tidak dilanda krisis Sepanyol, yg kini dianggarkan terlepas € 337 juta (US $ 421 juta) dalam makanan & pertanian jualan ke Rusia sekarang bahawa permainan sekatan dihidupkan. Nor ia adalah Itali, yang menganggarkan kerugian di hampir satu bilion euro ($ 1.2 bilion).

Pada yang ditembak jatuh MH17
Naib Presiden Amerika Syarikat berkata ia adalah Washington yang "terkena" sokongan Rusia untuk pemberontak di Ukraine "yang tembak jatuh [itu] pesawat awam."
Amerika Syarikat telah menyalahkan Rusia untuk menyokong pejuang anti-Kiev di Donetsk - tetapi masih gagal menyediakan bukti yang munasabah, kecuali untuk ‘images’ yang tidak dpt difahami.
Semua dalam semua, ini tidak merupakan satu kejatuhan mudah untuk VP Biden. Pada pertengahan September, dia terpaksa memohon maaf kerana menggunakan serangan meremehkan "shylock" untuk menggambarkan pemberi pinjaman rumah pinjaman.
Selepas itu, ketika mengambil bahagian dalam persidangan wanita, Biden memuji bekas senator Amerika Syarikat Bob Packwood untuk bipartisanship beliau - tetapi Packwood meletak jawatan pd tahun 1995 berikutan beberapa dakwaan kesalahan seksual.
But it's perhaps easier for Washington to make those decisions than the EU. After all, the US is not crisis-stricken Spain, which is now estimated to miss out on 337 million euro (US$421 million) in food and agriculture sales to Russia now that the sanctions game is on. Nor it is Italy, which has estimated its losses at nearly one billion euro ($1.2 billion).
On who shot down MH17
The US vice president said it was Washington who “exposed” Russia’s support to rebels in Ukraine “who shot down [the] civilian airliner.”
The US has been blaming Russia for supporting anti-Kiev fighters in Donetsk – but has still failed to provide reasonable evidence, except for incomprehensible images.
All in all, this has not been an easy fall for VP Biden. In mid-September, he was forced to apologize for using the offensive slur “shylock” to describe home-loan lenders. Right after that, while taking part in a women’s conference, Biden praised former US senator Bob Packwood for his bipartisanship – but Packwood resigned in 1995 following several allegations of sexual offenses.
