it’s almost as if someone hit the ‘reset’ button
The article is a bunch of bullfeathers. BTW, the three local newspapers in my area today referred to the ethnic Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine in three different terms - domestic insurgents, domestic terrorists, and domestic protesters. Once you start calling them terrorists, you’re preparing the US population to accept drone strikes and bombing as in Serbia.
Unnecessarily creating animosity and distrust to replace the trust and respect Ronald Reagan's strength and peaceful resolve had built with all the Eastern Bloc states through his willingness and promise to share defensive missile technology.
Have you protested in this countrY?
so HReid will be pushing for drone strikes on the TEA party? good to know
if 0bammy thinks the Russians will react like the muslims, he’s sorely mistaken
If Putin is responsible for the end of the NWO,he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
bkmk
Yes. It led to a visit by the IRS. The US becoming more and more like Russia but we don’t arrest protesters YET.
The tales of Russia becoming as free as they say is simply propaganda. Yes, things are better than 1991, but that’s not saying much.
The Russian Federation is NOT the USSR. Putin is an excellent President (and NOT a Communist) who works in the actual interest of the Russian state and the Russian people. Everything he has done so far in Crimea and Ukraine are *good things* for Russia.
Crimeans are rejoicing in their new Russian citizenship, and if they succeed in helping to free Eastern Ukraine from the influence of the crazies that the USA has helped into power, those people will rejoice as well.
It is very hard to understand Russia without having some first-hand knowledge of their language and culture, which most of us in the west do not have.
Putin a former KGB thug runs the country for about 40 oligarchs who he reports to. In return Putey has been able to muscle in on the gas operations and is now worth about 40 billion. He’s living La Vida Loca and loving it.
Meanwhile if you are a regular plebe in Russia when you go to the hospital you have to take your own needles.
Have you ever been to Russia? Have you been to a hospital in Russia? Do you speak the language? Have you interacted with the people?
Your comments suggest that you have not, at least not recently.
Putin is a Russian, is acting in the interest of Russians, and is doing a pretty damn good job of it.
Russia is not third-world by any definition of the term. Even by the old definitions, it would be second-world.
The current state of Russia society and infrastructure-wise puts it squarely in first-world status.
KGB Putin is the world’s biggest terrorist and mass murderer and the USA’s most deadly and evil enemy. There is no reasoning with the savage stupid satanic monster Putin. He must die violently and his genocidal lawless regime must be smashed into pieces.
If you have been to Russia lately you would know that 50 miles outside of Moscow its oxcarts. Most roads are only passable in the dry season. Russia hasn’t produced a new product since about 1975. They export oil/gas and wheat. They have what is considered globally to be a modest economy. They have a conscript army. We track their boomers by the radiation leak trail they leave behind.
Krauthammer had it faily right when he said that Russia is a third world country with a 1st world military. Only the military is not that great. Russia has enough muscle to bully their immediate neighbors and thats about it. They are not at war with anybody for the simple fact that they cannot afford it.
Moscow and St. Petersburg is well developed but what about the rest of Russia?
Putin dropped cluster bombs on innocent Christian women and children in Georgia and exterminated and ethnically cleansed thousands of civilians. Obama hasn't done anything even remotely similar.
I dislike Obama as much as the next guy, I'm just not ready to betray my country and support my genocidal enemies because the guy I voted for didn't win. Crybabies who want to side with Russia against their own country should either go to Russia where they belong, or the should grow up and get a life.
“S&P cut Russia’s rating one step to BBB-, it said in a statement today. The grade, on par with Brazil and Azerbaijan, has a negative outlook. S&P last downgraded Russia in December 2008. Russia’s currency and bonds fell.”
BBB- is junk status. Thats third world.
I rest my case. :-)
Do you have some problem with using drones to kill our terrorist enemies? You think Obama should kill less muslims?
Do you believe that Chris Stephens was smuggling weapons to islamists? Wasn’t Chris Stephens complicit with Obama’s agenda? Chris Stephens worked for Obama. If Obama is the biggest murderer in the world, then what does that make Stephens? If Stephens was supporting muslim terrorists on behalf of the murderer Obama, didn’t he deserve to die? Didn’t he just get what was coming to him?
