The Russian economy is facing hard times but no one expects Russia to back down even if Putin is gone tomorrow.
Won’t happen.
Putin plays full-contact hockey whiel riding bears, while Obola plays T-ball while riding Reggie.
While Russia is indeed a threat needed to be dealt with. The author vastly overstates Russian military capabilities.
This eight-year mistake is part of the reason why the world is in the position it is.
When the United States projects a position of weakness on the world stage, aggressive political actors feel emboldened and step up to fill the power vacuum. We should’ve continued to build missile defense sites in eastern Europe despite the protestations of Russia, but we instead capitulated and gave Russia the Crimea and an increasing foothold in the sociocultural sphere of influence in eastern Europe.
Meanwhile, we’re projecting hostility toward the Israelis who are being battered by Islamists, and we’re losing key strategic political allies in much of the middle East.
This president is more than an abject failure, he’s an enemy of the state who no one will oppose. Obama is the reincarnation of Caesar Augustus sans the military.
Linerals thought the war on poverty was noble and without a draft (well,except for drafting the tax payers)... now they are like disarmed chihuahuas trying to fight wolves.
Yeah, that’s about right.
What's this ? Another NWO/Bilderbergs/UFO/911 was inside job/pray to Putin “news website” ?
The problem is taking them on the head-to-head would require full commitment of our armed forces. As our forces stand we no longer have the capability to fight two large scale conventional wars. In that instance my concern would be China would pursue their interests in Asia while we're engaged with Russia. We wouldn't be in a position to stop them both.
We probably need a global war to match our coming civil war.
Preezy is egging on an internal race war like nothing I have ever seen nor conceived of.
Go 'way, we've seen the best and he hasn' t been around for years -- I mean Victor Posner. He and his subtler Churkin used to prowl the airwaves on ABC news. Churkin is still around somewhere.
loosing control at home

They’ll never loosen control, maybe in ‘17.
Does this bozo write for Pravda? “They have all the cards...” Hardly. They have an economy on the edge of disaster with the decline in oil prices. The decline of our military has more to do with a lack of will to fund any defense than it does with our selection of wars to fight. Russia can and will try to make trouble, but they cannot compete with us if we wake up and get our defense priorities straight. Let’s hope we do so in ‘16.
Lyndon ‘Bird’ Johnson certainly deserves credit for the rapid decent to poverty for the entire nation in order to shovel goodies into the maws of the couch potato generation. He called it the War On Poverty.
Poverty won. Americans lost.
I thought Reggie was mysteriously murdered. Word has it that he did have the word 'Barry' tattooed on his chest, but authorities are mystified over what it means.
I'm more concerned over America's shrinking capabilities and China's increase in military might.
Who believes, if push came to shove, that China would not ally itself with Russia?
AND...the incredible shrinking phony president is taking a meat axe to our incredible shrinking military.
Who among us with functioning brains would not agree with that statement?
Many will keep denying that our nation is not in dire peril, but that the climate is what our minds need to be zeroed in on.
