Not going to war against the Russians is a very far cry from “favoring the Kremlin line.” If you can’t understand that very simple concept, then you are beyond hope.

FYI, I really don’t care much for the Russians. My paternal grandfather had to leave there at the end of the Communist revolution, or get shot. He had to leave behind everyone and everything that he knew, except for one much older brother who had come to the United States several years earlier. His father had everything taken from him by the Communists except the house that they lived in. He never saw his parents and several of his siblings again. Those of his family members who could not get out lived a miserable life, always wondering whether Lenin’s or Stalin’s goons would come to take them away. So I have no great warm feeling for those people.

However, I do not let my feelings against them cloud my better judgement. Going to war is a serious business, people lose their lives and others are maimed for life. Many are emotionally scarred for life . Others “merely” lose everything material that they ever had. Casualties on both sides in even a relatively small war can rapidly escalate into the hundreds of thousands. That’s a small war. A large war easily moves that into the millions, and that is before you involve the two largest nuclear powers on the planet. You are simply insane if you think that a war with Russia would in ANY way be a good thing. Either start taking your meds, or go to a psychiatrist and get some prescribed.

Actually, what I meant by “favoring the Kremlin line,” is the tendency by our FR Borscht Brigade to find John McCain under their beds. I’m not afraid of him, they are. And speaking of psychiatrists, I’m sure one could help you with your fear of being surrounded by people who want to go to war with aRiseia.
