The Russians and Chinese have been ramping up, while the US and Europe have been ramping down. They certainly do not fear us anymore. Otherwise Obama/Hillary would have gotten approval to bomb Syria.
Actually makes a lot of sense if you think Obama is a Manchurian who was supposed to weaken the US. Weaken the US for what ? What comes after the weakening ?

I can’t find anyone anymore that thinks aiding Pakistan is in our interest. I used to hear, and understand, arguments about how it’ll be easier to get OBL if we kept them placated. Now that OBL is gone, what exactly does Pakistan have that we need?
To: Jyotishi
Thank God. That is a start. We need to make deep cuts. Pissed that they passed the NASCAR funding. Where is that in the Constitution.....yes have a strong military....RIght now we are cutting and don’t need the advertising. Once we are on better ground financially we can start supporting SOME fluff.
Keep FR Running
Counter the MSM spin machine.

“Pakistan is the ‘Benedict Arnold’ to America in the war on terror. They are disloyal, deceptive and a danger to the United States
........
This so-called ally continues to take billions in US aid, while funding the militants who attack us. And we've kept the money flowing. It's time we turn off the tap,” ....but later settled for the 650 million cut.
Yeah real tough guy this Mr. Poe.

He is just one of the useful idiots to the Russians now. They could care less about him at this point. They got all they could get from him. A good parallel is the Green Global Warming movement. The Russians used the movement to weaken the Wests ability to produce oil. Then they apparently trashed the movement (Climate Gate) when they had a bunch of oil to sell.

I expect the Senate won’t take this up.
