"Yin" Obama Victories

Yin Victories are quiet and deeply lasting ones. Revisit David Carradine's Kung Fu series to reminisce and be refreshed by "Grasshopper's" pleasant Yin Victories.

Yin Victories are victories gladly and willingly conceded over to you by your rivals or adversaries. These are acts of Sweet Surrender because you have earned their trust and respect and ,therefore, they are allowing you to win. Consequently, both sides are soulfully nourished and uplifted.

The arguments in my past posts have convincingly established Obama as a Yin President.

The bullying variety of victories that Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina and Christie unashamedly sought are degrading and usually (and thankfully) ephemeral (but irreparable damage could already be done).

They aggressively try to out do each other by flaunting their higher and higher degrees of tantrum-throwing threats, childishness, rudeness and arrogance to hypothetically expropriate brutal victories from possibly trumped-up enemies (no pun intended).

Those coerced to yield grudgingly will, at the first opportunity, strike back venomously to inflict maximum damage, even if mutually destructive.

The GOP candidates mentioned can thus be liken to a sinister hue of the four Dark Horsemen of Apocalypse who had learnt nothing from the Vietnam, Afganistan and Iraqi wars. The "Pai Gow" principles to be revealed in my future posts that had accounted for the humiliating defeats of the US have now taken on a new urgency to be taught to these ignorant Horsemen of doom and self-destruction.

Amongst the many examples, let me share the latest 3 major Yin Victories of Obama in the last 2 months.

Putin's restrain after a Russian jet was shot down by Turkey. Xi's restrain after US bombers and battleships breached Chinese territories and Iran's hostage releases without threats from the US.

Against the normal confrontational odds of more forceful reactions in such incidences, the 3 different leaders had gone out of their way to be softer to ensure a Yin US President Obama's life was not made difficult and provide Obama's enemies in Washington with ammunition to attack him.

World tension is lowered in the process.

Putin was KGB head and is used to responding with power and pride. Yet, Putin reacted humbly in the Turkey incident in deference to a humble sitting US President.

In George Bush's first few months in office, a US spy plane breached Chinese airspace and Chinese jets scrambled to force down the US plane onto Hunan Island. Compare this to the recent US breaches of Chinese territorial integrity. The Chinese trust Obama as a peaceful President and was prepared to tolerate the breaches as those of a new Secretary of Defence Ash Carter's needs to flex some muscles as a sign of initiation to the job.

Hostages of the 1979 US Embassy seige were held by Iran much more aggressively for over 2 years compared to the recent case of the sailors in the patrol boat captured who were released within days.

A Yin President attracts positive peaceful effects that the predominantly Yang American population may not realize.

Contrary to Yang Americans' thinking, Leaders of other countries do act with composed wisdom and profound regard for Human Dignity and Honour.

They don't need to blare and blast disdainful bravados like Cruz and Rubio, displaying antics of immature kids spoiling for an ignominious brawl in the school yard. " When I am President, I will whack this and smash that...", etc. War mongering big talk out of the mouths of babes. 

Come back to the Presidential Race in 20 years' time when you have grown up, fellas.

Trump has been showing signs he will make a good US President in the world's interests if his own GOP party doesn't derail him. These will be subjects in my later posts.

Please spread this message widely and furiously for a chance of PEACE ON EARTH.
