Though Gen. David Petraeus claims Vladimir Putin seeks to re-establish the Russian Empire, this misses the point. If Putin sought that, he would by now, 15 years in power, have annexed Belarus and Ukraine, but he has not even annexed the pro-Russian Donbass.

Putin is a nationalist who sees his country as one of the world’s great powers and sees himself as protector of Russian peoples everywhere. He believes Moscow should have its own Monroe Doctrine, and that rival powers should not be planting military bases on Russia’s doorstep.

Huh

Pat is to the right of just every pundit and politician in DC.

Pat thinks that Hitler had legitimate grievances against Poland. So I guess that does put him to the right of most people.

Then why did you call him left?

Then why did you call him left?

I said he was paid by the left. To make the right look stupid.

Like the Scots in Britain, the Walloons in Belgium and the Italians of Veneto, they want to live apart, not together.

Uh, the Scots voted on this last year and the majority chose to remain in the UK.
