Sorry, ISIS and militant Islam is a far greater threat.

Sure, let’s fight EVERYBODY’S wars.

Let’s just fight and fight and fight.

Let’s not save or create anything —let’s just make Earth our expensive X-box.

We’ll be BlackwaterLand with a new anthem.

Way to whack the hornet's nest! Here, let me help:

Ron Paul to Obama: Let’s just leave Ukraine alone!

[FlipWilson]

I’m split on Putin. On the one hand the cold warrior in me wants to wipe his face in some peace through strength. On the other I enjoy him whiping his arse with Dear Leader’s face. It’s more the latter for sake of clarity but at least there is some benefit to this.

[FlipWilson]

That’s wiping not whiping. Damn you tiny iPhone key pad.

[1rudeboy]

Apart from making you feel good, there's no benefit. It's why people watch Oprah.

[1rudeboy]

You read the article and composed your reply in 70 seconds? Impressive.

[dforest]

Looks like you came in real close to me. Not as impressive as I was.

[skeeter]

Once you get past the writer's adjectives describing Buchanan's comments they don't seem so illogical.

No, I'm not a Putin apologist. I'm just going by this article.

[1rudeboy]

Difference being, I read the entire column first.

[Rashputin]

Well, at least, "From Norway [13] to Japan [14], the entire world is united in horror at Russian aggression in Ukraine. Even the milquetoast Barack Obama . . ." the whole world and milquetoast Barry can be horrified by something.

Obviously piles of the heads of Christians doesn't do it be apparently Vlad being so openly anti-Impaler sure does.

Yet the likes of Paul and Buchanan continue to beat the drum of appeasement and indeed collaboration with Putin’s evil, neo-Soviet regime.

There is a type of peace that is disgraceful. It is the type of peace where one person or group threatens another with the initiation of force and the other offers no resistance, but simply obeys. This is the peace of slaves and cowards. It is the type of peace urged on free people by corrupt intellectuals.

C’mon Hitler? lets wait until Putin captures the low countries, France and bombs England before the war-mongers want us to draft an army, start rationing, put Rosie the Riveter back in the factories.

Of course Paul and Buchanan are correct. We need our troops along our borders not someone else’s. War-mongers get lost. We have give enough blood and treasure. Any chance of raising taxes for another war?

[dfwgator]

As Churchill told Chamberlain after Munich, “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”

[dforest]

You have no proof. Your word? well...heh

I have already read the Buchanan and Paul columns and still do not see that Russia is a threat to get hyped over at the moment.

The people I mentioned are already here and far more dangerous to us right now.

That thing in the WH is a real threat too.

It's a pretty small drum, though.

I don't agree with Ron and Pat, but some dissidence or counter-think or resistance to those who are banging the bigger drums isn't a horrible thing.
