Putin is merely being an opportunist, can’t blame the guy for that.

Good words. I’ll attribute them to Fear the People instead of a Czech journalist. :)

Russians are an intelligent, capable and determined people. They make excellent soldiers.

Hitler was finished when he held them in contempt as subhuman beasts.

I hold nobody in contempt, but no Russian defeated Hitler and Napoleon - General 'Winter' did.

Look at Obama’s words. Which should be the most scary to Americans? Putin or Obama?

And yet the Russians withstood the winter, the invaders didn’t.

The Italians defeated the Germans, when the Germans had to delay Barbarossa by six weeks, in order to bail out their Italian “friends” in the Balkans. Those six weeks were crucial.

Putin is as dangerous as Obama is weak.

FREEpers didn’t like my Ronald Reagan comparison.

But there is truth to the notion a country can find itself adrift without a strong leader.

Our weakness lets the strong guys swallow up countries without our having any good options to stop them.

The Chechens will kill anyone of their people who tries to start another war, with unbelievable urgency. The last thing on earth most Chechens want is another war in their homeland.

How about no more ages of empires and allow the people to control themselves

The problem is that Muzzies can't control themselves. Their entire world view is based on creating a global empire. So leaving them alone to "control themselves" just postpones the day of reckoning. Besides, they are not controlling themselves. There is some tyrant or other in charge at all times. There has only been one genuine Muslim democracy in history (Turkey) and it lasted only about 80 years, and it only lasted because it wasn't really Muslim, they went radically secular.

So, someone has to be in charge, It could be the Russians, it could be the US, it could be a local strongman, but it most definitely won't be the "people". Now, the question was, should we care if the Russians are the ones in control?

Seems to be a lot of that going around.

Yes, and singing Kumbaya doesn't seem to stop it.

“Yes, and singing Kumbaya doesn’t seem to stop it.”

If asked, I wouldn’t recommend that as official policy, or ever.

A very cool and fairly new machine pistol. Cross between an Uzi and a Glock 18 with FN P90 sensibilities thrown in.
