as i’ve said before here,
putin must be a mccain supporter!
maybe the kid scares them too.
mccain is a known,
and oba mao, an unknown.
My thought is that some of Obama’s slide could possibly be due to the Russian saber-rattling, and people actually waking up and realizing it’s still dangerous out there, and he’s not the right man for anything dangerous. Might be too much to hope for, but it does happen. i.e. Jimmy Carter II is not the man you want to face down the new Russians.
On the other side of the coin:
Perhaps Putin thinks Obama (the pushover) is a shoe in and thus his devil-may-care aggressive attitude toward Georgia? ;-)
Your average Joe doesn’t think much about what is happening in Russia.
Just like after 9/11, people are having doubts. THIS can be the issue, and Biden won’t fix it.
from our own free republic:
Cindy McCain visits refugees in Georgia
Putin made this move when he was ready for his purposes of reassembling the Russian (economic) Empire.
He could care less about the American election. He thinks he can whip whoever gets elected.
The candidates are in a situation like having their first day in a prison exercise yard, a group or group will strut that they are the boss.
Either you bend over and give it up or you pull out a shiv and threaten to emasculate them.
This is and has been normal behavior for eons in all phases of life, in the sea, on land and in almost any culture, the weak will be made to bow down to a superior or just plain eaten.
I would think that its time to blockade Syria from receiving any weapons from Russia.
I think President Bush will stand up to the bully, who knows maybe right now we have a couple of our subs in the baffles of some Russky subs, what goes on underwater tend to get sunk deep, very deep.
There’s a Liberal smear/conspiracy out there that the Bush administration and the Russians set this all up to force a win for McCain.... you know how those “anti-globalists” are. LOL
Yes, it is going to affect the election. ANYONE and I mean ANYONE with their head screwed on straight understands the Russians are not, will not be and never HAVE been our friends.
If they further think this through they will realize that putting a Socialist like Obama will positively destroy American thinking, and how America is thought of by the world.
Weakness is something we CAN NOT afford now, or ever, but certainly NOT with the Russians pushing like they are now.
