His puppet master and acolytes are the real danger.

So, here I am, sitting in the pre-dawn hours of a Saturday in October, three weeks away from an election that will determine the course of our nation's future.
As I am sitting here, reading the various articles on FR, I note that there are a few that are stating that the possibility of an actual shooting war with Russia is a valid possibility. This is due to our idiot President and his lackeys accusing Russia of interfering with our elections.
As I read these articles, a cold dread enters my mind...a dread I have not felt in over a decade.
When I was growing up, I (and, I'm sure most of you) lived under the constant threat of the old Soviet Union launching an all-out nuclear war against the United States. When I was a teenager, I was very curious about such things, and I studied nuclear war, how it might be fought, and how to defend against it. On that last part, I soon realized that there really is NO way to defend against it. There is nowhere you could go in this world to get totally away from the after-effects of a nuclear exchange.
In the 80's I joined the US Army. In my time there, I was stationed in Germany. I was part of a unit that was armed with nuclear weapons (Pershing 2). If the balloon went up, I was sitting right smack dab in the middle of a bulls-eye for Soviet targeters. We trained for the eventuality that the Soviets would come pouring through the Fulda Gap in vast numbers, hoping to conquer Western Europe with a massive lightning assault...and knowing that, if they did, they'd probably unleash WW3. And, it would NOT be confined to Europe.
I left the Army in 1986. Some 3 years later, the Berlin Wall fell. Soon after, many Eastern Bloc regimes also fell. And, finally, in 1991, after a failed attempt by hard-liners to re-assert a strong ultra-Communist government, the Soviet Union fell. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that....maybe, just maybe....the threat of nuclear war was done.
Some 10 years later, for a few days in September of 2001, the fear returned after 9/11. I wondered if Islamic terrorists had gained access to a nuke and were about to use it against us. Thankfully, that fear turned out to be unfounded (for now, at least), and my fear subsided.
Now, 15 years after 9/11, I find that fear coming back in all it's dark oppression. Yes, I knew that Russia still has nukes, and they're still poised on missiles, but I never thought they'd have a reason to use them ever again. Now, thanks to the blustering and threats from our idiot President (and his even-stupider Vice President), it seems that Russia may have a reason to use them again.
Do I have to live in fear again, waiting for the sound of air-raid sirens? Am I going to have to be listening for the sounds on an EAS alert on my radio or TV, stating we're under a notional emergency due to a inbound nuclear attack?
Where I live an work, there is no escape. I did some checking this morning. Where I live, I am about 5 miles from a major Joint Base. I can guess there are at least 2 Russian warheads targeted there. Where I work, I am in right smack-dab in a triangle of three naval bases, one of which is a submarine base for Trident ballistic missile subs. At the farthest, one base is only 7 miles away.
What can I do amidst all this talk of possible war?
Fear not. No conservative is gonna send his kids or himself to get hurt in a war for Zero or Hillary and no Pajama boy is gonna get his hands greasy on a nasty rifle. The libtard dream has come true. “What if they gave a war and no one came?”
When I see these two countries positioning and rattling sabers, it just looks like bad acting.
I think this war has been a long time coming. I think they shook hands and agreed - years ago - to go to war. now they have to act it out.
And I believe this is all around the collapse of the US dollar in favor of a Global dollar.
Obamas enemies are domestic.
Vagina obsessed media is taking over. Oh the horror the sluts are being looked at wrong by evil billionaire men. If treating this sluts not for their eye candy, they would all be unemployed and homeless (street walking notwithstanding).
His puppet master and acolytes are the real danger.
“No conservative is gonna send his kids or himself to get hurt in a war for Zero or Hillary and no Pajama boy is gonna get his hands greasy on a nasty rifle. The libtard dream has come true. “What if they gave a war and no one came?”
Sounds nice, but the selective service(draft) is still a viable option and they just approved females for draft. Fear not, your children will be fighting the Russians (not directly but proxy war against Iran).
I thought the sword of Damocles was withdrawn in ‘91. I grew up nearby to too many strategic assets to believe I had even a small chance of surviving a nuclear exchange. The ghosts of the cold war are rattling their sabers again and everyone is less safe because of it.

The Russians, like everyone else, will wait to see the outcome of the election. I think a Trump win would be in everybody’s favor. Ole Bayrack was right, elections do have consequences.
BTW, back in the 50’s (Kansas), my folks had a railroad tank car buried in our back yard as our own private bomb shelter, which of course, us kids used as a submarine.
Again, let not your heart be troubled.
Oh, I, too, spent hours looking at a sand box of Fulda Gap. Remember, no enemy would nuke DC. Our bases in CONUS are a threat to no one with Zero in the White Mosque and popping a nuke on one would guarantee a Trump win which no enemy with nukes wants.
We are, for the next three weeks, the safest we have been in 50 years. Notice even the almost daily jihadi attacks have suddenly stopped. Moose lmbs? Crickets. Even the jihadis have got the message, knock it off or they will elect Trump.
BEST ELECTION EVER.
Man up. Are you gaining anything from this fear? Has being fearful changed anything that has been going on? Make a move, sack up and quit worrying about things where you have no control.
No fear. Disgust only if the nation will have to be under an Obamaesque regime with Clinton. Go Trump!
Look at the bright side. You'll never know what hit you.
One minute you'll be sitting there reading FR and the next you'll be in another dimension getting ready to face God.
Just a suggestion, get right with God before you go to meet Him.
And it'll make your time here a lot easier, too.
Hillary the Warhawks! She and Obama WANT a war!
Our aging nukes have not been tested except through math modeling as I understand. Do we really know they are functional?
I am not gonna give my position away by triangulating nearby assets but I will say this: if you think where you are is hot where I am is SCORCHING. If where you are is boiling where I am is PIZZA OVEN and I ain’t worried.
FRiend, don’t fear the dems. We’ve always thought to dems are corrupt, now we have confirmation the entire democrap cabal is corrupt. We now know the media is corrupt.
Thanks to Wikileaks and Trump.
We keep getting told it’s the Russians who hacked the emails. Question nobody has asked. Where’s the proof? We hear that people in the intelligence community “say” the ruskies did it. Well “show me the beef?.
It’s deflection of the facts. Tahqia. Pure and simple. Scare anyone who will be scared, promote fear and hate etc.
I suggest to go about your daily business. Vote. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Pray a bit too if your so inclined.
Jesus Christ prophesied the rise of Russia to come against Israel, not necessarily the United States. I think this posturing of the Obama Admin only shows weakness...like Bill Clinton launching Tomahawks against Foes. The Russians / Iranians really don’t have a fight with the US. Their fight is against Saudi Arabia and Israel? Why? Saudi Arabia controls world oil markets, and Israel is rising up to control world Natural gas markets with thier latest gas field finds. Russia is on the verge of economic insolvency because of almost 100 years of socialism/cronyism. Iran is in trouble because of low oil prices and radical Islam. The hook is being set. Russia and Iran are going to come against Israel, but God is going to intervene and destroy thier armies (Ezekiel 38-39)
you don’t get it
libtards think you fight wars like video games, just shooting missiles and launching drones from hundreds or thousands of miles away or sending other peoples’ kids to drop bombs from 35,000 feet or sending special forces in because when they come home in boxes, the press doesn’t cover it, the official story is they died in “Coalition operations”, no one even notices the death count except families that aren’t heard from anymore unless they are muslim employees of the democrats, don’cha know
No US casualties means no bad press reports
And if a tree falls in the woods and the press doesn’t report on it, it never happened
