“Maybe Russia will back off if we just do whatever Russia demands? Maybe if we just do whatever Russia says, whenever they say it, then do you think they might let us be their friends?”

Some have argued that adopting the Bush policy of groveling before the Wahabists just might work with the Russians...at least as well as it has worked with the Saudis. As for me, I’d rather have Russians calling the shots than Saudi Mohammedans if that’s the choice. My people have long experience living under Mohammedanism. You wouldn’t like it.

Yea. Wait till Obama, (AKA, America’s Neville Chamberlain)
gets in office. He wants to make PEACE with our enemies.
BARF.

“It is a crying shame that Russia is the only country with the guts to defend their Christian brothers in Serbia.”

Maybe Holy Russia didn’t die in 1917.

You're not the only one creeped out over this. Don't we get more oil from Canada than we do the saudis? No matter, oil producing countries have us over a barrel.

Gas in our town has finally risen to over $3.00 a gallon. Hubby has a gas sucking work truck. If it gets really bad, he can get a moped and pull his tools in a little red wagon.

What will the Russians do? I don't know. To me they hold the bargaining chips.

Our alliance with the Saudis is to counter Russia’s alliance with the jihadist ayatollah pigs. We pit the Sunnis and Shiites against each other. Divide et Impera! The alternative is that all the muslims would be united as Russian allies against us.

I don't think you read my post correctly.

In essence and in political double speak---we told Russia to stop f'ing us around the world causing us headaches or we'll cause you trouble in your own backyard. That was what was meant in my post.

It looks the other way around from the article.

The comments also sparked quick reaction from the U.S. State Department, which urged Russia to repudiate them.

Rogozin couched his threat, however, assuring that Russia was not currently making plans for a military confrontation.

If I live to be a million years old I'll never understand Bush and his ROP mantra when it comes to islam. They have sworn to kill infidels, I'm included in that by the way, and yet he keeps referring to them that way. Well, he just gave them their very own country in Europe to spread the caliphate.

Yup, they hold lots of chips.

And I don’t trust the Russians one bit.

It irks me that they are in the right in this mess and we are in the wrong.

Sure we are FAR FAR superior to Russia in conventional arms and could easily clean their clock in a conventional confrontation...we are so technically superior it would be as though they were unarmed.

But we cannot risk ANY confrontation with them at all.
Blowing their soldiers away with our superior arms would just make them angry beyond description and raise calls for them to resort to nuclear brinkmanship. And we are NOT equally matched in that arena... they are much more prepared to protect their civilian population than we are... our population is naked and defenseless.

Poke the Russian bear with a stick hard enough and he may become suicidally angry.

You are kidding me. Are you really that stupid?

How the hell does George Bush have anything to do with a EU policy that was signed on to by the Clinton Administration?

The breakup of Yugoslavia was strictly an EU/Clinton affair, Kosovo is just another piece of the pie.

"Then we should all get down on our knees and thank God that no Americans need to die for the EU's and Bill Clinton's dog vomit Mohammedan Albanians in Kosovo anytime soon."

There I fixed that for you.

DUH!!!!! Bush is the President. He can change our policy. He totally supports this policy.

And last I checked Clinton did not want to put a missle shield in Poland.

You are kidding me. Are you really that stupid?

Maybe, but I am a rocket scientist compared to you.

The U.N. resolution that ended the war specifically ruled out an independent Kosovo. It was signed by the U.S.

George Bush unilaterally recognized Kosovo, in violation of this resolution.

Wouldn't it make more sense for us and the Russians to ally against the Muzzies rather than for us to ally with the Sunni's and Russia with the Shiites.

...oh, and before signing out, i want to extend a tip of the fedora to Jimmmy Carter without whom today's mess would never have been possible.

” “Then we should all get down on our knees and thank God that no Americans need to die for the EU’s and Bill Clinton’s dog vomit Mohammedan Albanians in Kosovo anytime soon.”

8 years of Bush’s America disgracing groveling before the Saudis, hundreds of millions spent supporting Mohammedan terrorists with hundreds of millions more promised and you call those “people” in Kosovo Bill Clinton’s Mohammedan Albanians???????????????????????? No wonder the ruling clique of the Republican party is about to be thrown on the trash heap of history, marching in lock step behind that man Bush right over a cliff!
