Russia is making threats and threatened to overthrow our government.

[jongaltsr]

Has anyone noted that Putin keeps making bold statements about open conflict with the United States.

I question the fact that "He is not exactly stupid" even if he is a bit arrogant.

Does anyone have any insight or thoughts on why Putin would make open threats when it would not to be to his advantage to do so if he REALLY intended to attack us?

My "Logical" mind says he is making such statements just to intimidate our politicians and NOT to forewarn an actual invasion.

ANY THOUGHTS?

You wouldn’t make such bigoted statements if you had ever visited Russia to see reality.

Clarification:

I am not talking about our wonderful Soldiers our fighting men.

I speak of the entrenched commanders. Those beholden to the admin.

“Russia is making threats and threatened to overthrow our government.”

He's too late. oboma beat him to the punch. Had he said it before 2009, I would have been worried.

Come on down, we thrive on threats and threats of chaos. Go ask Santa Anna. We know how to be independent, we have the actual experience.

The Putin regime is hardly Slavophile. Putin has been aggressive and antagonistic to other Slavic nations. He threaten Poland with missile attacks and he said Ukraine was “not even a real country.” Russia's only Slavic ally is Belarus, and even they don't like each other very much. Russia pays lip service the Serbs, but remember, the Croats are Slavic too. Even Serbia wants to join the EU because Putin pulled Russia's troops out of Serbia and abandoned them to their fate.

One for each of us.

I thought that was Obama’s job!

You got That right!

[riri]

Sadly, it would be an upgrade from what we have now.

[KittenClaws]

Accurate statements.

But not to be believed, because, well, we just can’t believe it. (Yes, that was sarcasm).

I don’t think it has much to do with us, I think he’s putting on some political theater for anti-American Russians.

I’m sure the Russians have the goods on zero....they know he is a fag, they know he is a commie and they know he was born in Kenya....but as long as he rolls over and plays dead they will let him play dictator....

[SkyDancer]

I think he may already have. We have a Muslim-Russian for president.

[jongaltsr]

Good. The answer I think I have been looking for.

Makes complete sense.

Now to prepare for who the real enemy is going to be now that out Commie President opened the door for their take over.

[jongaltsr]

No. Obama is just the person who unlocked the door so that the Ruskies have free access to wipe us off the face of the earth.

Russia was not, is not and will never be our ‘friend’ regardless of who is in charge here or there.

[jongaltsr]

No. Obama is just the person who unlocked the door so that the Ruskies have free access to wipe us off the face of the earth.

[jongaltsr]

In other words, Obama is merely the person who opens the door so that the Russians can waltz in and take over - enslaving us as they always wanted to do.

The Russians couldn’t invade Club Med. There is a reason why they are not in any wars with anybody. They can’t afford it. They are broke. Their hardware is not up to snuff and we track their boomers by the trail of radiation they leak.
