Looked in the mirror lately, Joe?
The U.S. economy is “withering” thanks to “Stimulus”, “ObamaDeathCare(tm)”, “Cap and Tax”, etc.
Yeah ;-)
I thought Stoli vodka sold well.
America’s withering economy will force change too. In 2010.
Well ‘ol dumb Joe may think the Russian economy is “Withering” but he must see a different Russia than I do.
They have hunkered down and retrenched a little but they do have surplus cash laying around which is more than I can say for us.
I am in Russia several times a year and most of the rest of the time am in Eastern Europe. Capitalism is breaking out all over.
Of course. That's what the USA did when economic problems struck two years ago. Oh wait...
And if not, then maybe this genius has a recent example of some other major country that, when faced with economic problems, voluntarily reduced its military? Especially when Biden goes and gives Ukraine and Georgia green light and weapons to do whatever they may with them? Maybe dirt-poor Georgia or Ukraine themselves decided to reduce their armies? No; what a surprise...
In real world if a country is getting weaker financially it usually boosts its military potential to compensate. That's what USSR did all along, and it worked. The reason is simple: economy is not always in your control, even if the state tells manufacturers what to do. However military is under direct control of the state and will do what it is told to do. Military might is not a perfect substitute for financial might, but then you have no better choice.
If Obama perceives poking the bear in the eye as diplomacy we have rough time ahead. But I guess that much is already obvious. What useful purpose could they both possibly try to achieve by attacking Putin (during 0's visit) and now Russia? There could be only one viable purpose - to keep Russia away from the West; obviously, that's what 0 wants. He may say otherwise, but his actions tell more.
Real good job, genius.
Democrat strategy:
"Alright, you guys, what's the most stupid thing we can say or do?
Agreed! Let's do that!"
Rumor has it that the Soviet Union collapse was staged by the KGB. Is this true?
I see Joe is as much a student of history as his boss.
Yeesh, I can’t wait until they start talking about when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor...
