This is an older op-ed but a reminder of what could be coming with a Democratic foreign policy. Combining this with what Congressman Nadler said during the campaign one is beginning to see that the Democrats are going to sell out Eastern Europe in hopes the Russians will cooperate with us against Iran. These former Soviet states are every bit as important as any other allies we have and should not be sold down the river.

[right way right]

MTV? No wonder they hate us!

[hflynn]

HOLY CHUCKIE CHEESE.

[himno hero]

I know it sounds nasty, it depends how they hit Iran. Its boiling down to life or death for Israel.

That is what Iran is promising. Death. Unconditionally.

And Shumer is right, a surgical striking will merely slow them down. It won’t stop them.

Again, whatever happens to Israel, happens to Europe, and then America.

[Cicero]

Oh, sure. Russia has only been supporting Iran’s entire nuclear development program, Putin has invaded Georgia and is threatening to revive the Russian Empire, and Chuckie thinks Russia is gong to help US?

In a pig’s eye.

[pctech]

Ole Chucky boy is sure doing his part to make sure Ezekial 38-39 come to pass huh?

[lowbridge]

If Schumer’s “solutions” are put into place, we’re going to get hit big time AGAIN, and we’re going to have to go to war AGAIN. And this time the casualty count on our side wont be as small as it has been the past few years.

[gandalftb]

Schumer is flat out wrong.

Equal partner? With the Russians? Russia will never be equals with any one unless they find themselves at a disadvantage, then they want equality. In all of Russian history they have abused any opportunity or advantage they have ever had. Russians are the most imperialist nation ever and always will be.

Then, Schumer suggest we make Russia whole if they cooperate with us. He is suggesting no less than to pay tribute to Russia. Disgraceful.

Those "ineffective antinuclear missile defense sites" are manned by NATO troops, that is what has Russia so upset. Eastern Europe has chosen the West instead of Russia for defense. Russia is huimiliated, plain and simple.

Iran and Russia are doing too much business together for us to sway Russia away. Who else has the money and the need to buy Russian weapons/missiles and nuke technology?

In what other way can Russia counter our influence in the Middle East other than by supporting Iran?

[blau993]

Chuckie the Pig and his bizarre foreign policy fantasies are an unfortunate harbinger of what we can expect for the next four years.

[Taichi]

Oh yeah Chuckie, lets really bend over for Putin.

Russia Can Be Part of the Answer on Iran By CHARLES SCHUMER

Chuckie, Russia is the largest part of the problem. They have no intention of helping us over Iran.

[JimSEA]

All Obama has to do is "discover" that Iran has a bomb and declare it to have been completed or made inevitable under the Bush Administration. He then elicits Putin's help in making American foreign policy compatible with Russian.

Everyone who still has a free voice in America will proclaim Obama a genius. Easy.

[maclay]

IMO, the real threat IS Russia. Why does it even matter if Iran has nukes or not, as long as Russia has enough for the both of them.

[dr_who]

First, we must treat Russia as an equal partner when it comes to policy in the Caspian Sea region, recognizing Russia's traditional role in the region. Second, we must offer to make Russia whole if it joins in our Iranian boycott and forgoes trade revenues with Iran.

In other words, sit back and let Russia annex Georgia and the rest of the post-soviet states around the Caspian. Schumer is a Quisling.
