Regardless of its truth, this is how a country actually wins in battle.

In the US, we have people like Ward Churchill and Bill Ayers educating half the population to HATE the US. A house divided and all...

Want to win in geopolitics? Remove all rats from universities.

You know what is an interesting comparison: Winston Churchill vs Ward Churchill.

No wonder Putin wants to keep the West at arm’s length. He’d rather have a strong Russia, than one that is divided against itself, where men marry men, and the elites sell out to other countries.

We obviously have a few people here who are part of Putin’s cult.

I have repeatedly asked some of them about this same thing. “Russia declares its readiness to wage nuclear war in the complete absence of any threat,”

Putin wants to rebuild the evil empire, is why he is invading countries and recreating the Cold war and threatening everyone on the globe.

It is irrational and religious — with all of the attendant religious stereotypes, prejudices and dogmas.

Irony just launched a pre-emptive attack in the Moscow Times.

In terms of world conquest, Putin is like a poodle that barks loud.

China is like a komodo dragon, that when it rouses from its slumber will gobble up anything that it feels like.

Our leadership has for many years ranged from insipid & cowardly (GOPe & RINO) to traitorous & suicidal (Dems & Obama).

The US leadership reminds of a video where the stupid people on the beach were taking pictures of the tsunami in the distance after the water receded.

Yet Putin is actually taking territory and threatening Western civilization with nuclear war.

"Liberalism" is no longer seen as a political outlook so much as a heretical belief system. According to the ubiquitous propaganda — and therefore, the public mind — a "liberal" is not someone who advocates the free market, personal freedoms and other such boring nonsense, but an individual who brazenly refuses to join the state cult... A liberal denies the great benevolence and inherent correctness of the state... The liberal is an enemy because he does not see God in the state...

Amusing that you could easily replace the word "liberal" there, with "conservative" here (i.e. classic big-L Liberal).

Russia is probably threatening Western civilization now, because in a few decades they won't be able to do that, because it won't be Western civilization anymore, it will be part of Islamic civilization.

The author of this piece should avoid taking the same route to work each day.It was only a few weeks ago that one of Vlad's critics was gunned down within sight of Red Square.

What nonsense, but Russia is largely Islamic and is about 15% so, if not more.

Putin is still the KGB evil monster that he was always was and while looting Russia, he also wants to build empire.

Read up on this guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin

They are following his play book. Literally.

The big question for me is this. Part of Dugin’s plan is to divide Europe between German and Russian spheres of influence. What happens to NATO and the US if Germany agrees to the plan?

If you believe that the U.S. aggressors were preparing to land in Crimea in the winter of 2014 in order to help the Ukrainians kill all the Orthodox Russians there...

Who claimed this? When those Euromaidens overthrew Ukraine's government Putin took the opportunity to grab the best part. Interesting that the other two regions (Donetsk and Luhansk) that voted to become part of Russia he told them no.

Half of your posts on Russia seem to portray her as a dangerous enemy and then the other half as a militarily hollow and politically isolated shell.

You really have trouble understanding how Russia can be a great threat as it invades up to NATO’s borders and threatens us with nuclear war and proceeds to rebuild the evil empire, yet is not as strong as it’s propagandists here try to convince us they are?

There is an effort by some here to portray Russia as too strong to resist, that America and NATO are no match for Russian military might, therefore we need to submit in advance to their military goals, and not aid Ukraine.

Which do you disagree with me on, that Russia is a dangerous enemy that is invading right up to our NATO borders, or that Russia is not as strong as it’s propagandists want us to think it is?

I am not sure Russia is winning at anything. That sort of brainwashing cult changes people and Russians are failing at everything. Russia is able to produce almost nothing. They just sell their oil and gas and nothing else works in that country. Just a weird cult of a country like Islamic oil states.

“You are a heretic regardless of your past services, social status, annual income or membership in the ruling party. All of those are secondary to the main question: Do you believe, or do you not?”

Not unlike AGW cultists.

Don’t forget the continuous drumbeat of black supremacy by the white house

A new religion, much like AGW, and death to deniers!
