We have a child as President. His resume is Professional student, and he knows how to use the phone, the same exact resume as a child. My 26 year old cousin has a larger more experienced filled resume that this idiot.

I always figured Obama and Putin were alike in their philosophical makeup, in that they are both communists. Putin is a more aggressive type. Oh, and the only way Obama would throw a nuke is at Israel. I think he would let us get it without retaliating from anyone else.

The world saw that U.S. did not nuke Ghazni on 12Sep2001; thus, the world can be confident that the U.S. will nuke no one.

“Screw this sick little punk. Does this nitwit realize that some NATO nations have nukes also.”

True, but the west doesn’t have any balls, and our CIC never did have any...

I’m convinced that if we were nuked, not just Estonia or Latvia, but us, that there would be very little response. Obama would go golfing. I seriously, deep in my heart, without any hyperbole believe that’s what would happen. We’d be talking about some NFL coach being fired two weeks later.

Who would nuke them? Us? Probably not. We’d probably respond by arresting some Tea Party members.

Look deep down inside. Do you really believe we’d respond to a nuke attack on an American city? I really don’t.

While that is true, in think that the what’s really going on is the “Space” Obama was waiting for. I Putin and Obama are working this out together.

Kids are a worry at any age. I had two sons and a difficult marriage, husband Korea ptsd. The older decided to become tougher than the old man, went army right out of high school and ROTC, Gulf War I, 82nd, 2 tours Afghanistan Special Forces. I worry about the grandchildren. He can leave with 20 next year, and is talking about going to engineering school.

The younger had dyslexia, and dropped out of high school, was moping about the house doing nothing, told him his brother said the guys he knew paid their parents $200 a month to live at home after age 18. He said OK, I’ll leave. Moved in with 5 somewhat dysfunctional friends in a wreck of a house for a total of $350 a month. I asked a young man I had helped who now had his own business if he could take my son on and teach him how to work. Don’t take any crxx, but give him second chances. That son is now happily married, two kids, and has a small business with several employees. Knowing when and how to apply tough love is tricky, but it worked for him. I did some reading and talking with professionals before I made my move. I wish you luck and forbearance with your complicated family situatiuon.

Despite the juxtaposition, with me it does not have the intended effect. The “dufus factor” in both is well over 100%.

How I long for an ex US Marine officer as POTUS.

Small comfort when bumped against the reality of an actual nuke war in today's world. Mutual destruction is a losing game and even the old Kremlin wasn't nuts enough to push that envelope.

It is very stressful to live here (Estonia) if you are paying attention to the world. I am a member of the Defense League and have decided I will die fighting Russians when they invade, but I don’t know what guidance to give to my 17 year old son.

We here are glad that the USA decided to add us to the favored partners list and sell us Javelins. In a global war everyone in Estonia is going to die, but us being well armed lessens the chance of such war. I believe Russia will invade only if they think they can grab a quick and easy victory.

“John Kerry to ask French Government how to word the surrender”

The sad truth is that the French have more backbone than we do at the moment.

If the American people tell Obama they want the USA to sell Javelins to Ukraine then Obama has to obey. The Senate has already voted so. Obama can only do his flexibility bit if the people let him get away with it. So far even those identifying as Democrats say that Obama is too soft on Russia.

I am going to have to complain to the mod, this posting must be a hoax and shouldn’t be in breaking news, how could it?

This morning the BIG 3 morning shows are all focused on hyping up religious freedom laws and chastising GOP governors and leaders. They also led with somebody taking a photo with Snoop Dog, and then something about how the California drought could harm endagered species.

If Putin were threatening the use of nuclear weapons, or if Kerry/Obama was floundering and getting taken to the cleaners by IRAN, these would suck up the time of newscasts - but I haven’t heard a thing. I am however totally up to speed by these hard news shows on Willie Nelson’s new marijuana brand and other important stuff.
