Bingo!
Gorbachev said in November, 1987:
“Gentleman, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption.
There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet-Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.”
Perhaps, but IMO, the Russian system is so corrupted these days that as long as there is no war, the thieves will do well by accumulating wealth and keeping any opponent at bay with a stronger military...any war would surely destroy their situation. Meanwhile, our system is just as corrupt but not by the industrialists, it is by those who seek political power. We are devolving into a socialist state and the Russian state is evolving into a state more like the US around the early 1900s. As we pass, it will be like a near by pass by an asteroid, one deviation and it could be a planet killer or just merely pass by.
Now what does that portend...if we stop the dissent into complete socialism and turn it around, the US could threaten those in Russia who are in economic power. Meanwhile, if we also weaken our deterrence to such an extent to make it a token force, we are set up for disaster. Neither outlook is promising if we give up our military force, either we end up as socialism slaves or we end up dead. Obviously der leader is making the choice to end up in socialism.
They might as well launch now. Obama won’t fire back.
Our wealthy elites created Marxism and the Soviet Union? Now there is an historical thesis I would like you to prove.
The lists will be made. Names will be on that list. Authorities will provoke you, and you respond or not respond, doeesn’t matter. Since you are isolated, they simply get a warrant, or not, and break down your door and you go to the institution, because you have committed hate speech. Your family is destroyed or scattered, to become wards of the CPS or State.
More than half the population is cowed into submission by the government and will not support you.

They have been with us for a very long time, and that ideology, like the venereal disease it is, just won’t go away.
And no one in positions of Constitutional authority/obligation had the balls to MAKE it go away within our borders (Joe McCarthy tried, and they broke him).
Isn’t that the definition of “malfeasence” - when they have the office, and the Constitutional OBLIGATION and RESPONSIBILTY to remove these dangerous, subversive folks from positions of power, and do NOTHING?
Actually, I believe the real definition...
...is Treason.
Agreed....
Lock and Load...

(A retired KGB officer recently told me that nobody is easier to buy than a Western journalist.).......................... So we have found out, and most work for the NYT.
I wonder what sort of stuff the Russians, Chinese, and other hostile nations have been able to gain because of the lack of security within our intelligence and defense structures caused by Obama and co.
Yuri Bezmenov explained this in the 80’s

He said that all we have to do is “remove the bananas from our ears and open our eyes”
Ideological Subversion.
“Im not gonna let myself be hanged...”
“Agreed....Lock and Load...Molon Labe...”
Seconded. A whole LEGION.
Not “Better Dead than Red” - rather, “Better the Red be Dead”...
“No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country...he won it by makeing the other dumb bastard die for HIS country” (or ideology, etc.).

I’m here for the pictures. Kalashnikova? Doesn’t she play tennis?
Obama cancels the missile shield, the F-22, and many other defense cuts. And, uh, er, oh, let's get rid of our Nukes too. That would send a definite message of Peace and maybe I'll get a second Nobel Peace Prize. I'll be famous as the appeasement President that brought Peace to the World!
Sounds like we're following the Kremlin playbook. A very dangerous path. So, now what?
If he was silly enough to do so, expect a military coup.
The boomers are the BEDROCK of the US deterrent. Without them we are sitting ducks.
Just wait until Obama really starts implementing his Marxist takedown plans for America to see what I mean.

Ummm, I think he started that in November of 2008, if not sooner.
If he was silly enough to do so, expect a military coup.

I would welcome that. They can ship him back to Kenya where he belongs. He can take all of his Pinko pals with him too.
Yeah, pretty scary when you think Obama doesn't even have a Security Clearance and there's all those mid level commie functionaries at the White House and elsewhere in DC having access to all kinds of Top Secrets. What are they doing with the information?
