Possibly. It is impossible for me to judge. I can say that recently he has spoken of religion and that he seems to maintain a very healthy, clean, decent, reverent lifestyle.
Interesting.
He sees Christian faith as an important element in the picture of America he hopes to repaint. He’s gone off on molehills like they were mountains (the Starbucks cup kerfuffle) but even his miscalculations have an endearing aspect. He wants to do the right thing but can’t quite find his way there.
“I am surprised Putin did not immediately send a cruise missile to the base where the Turkish planes took off...This shows he is NOT the bloodthirsty maniac the press wants to portray him as.”
I agree, if ANYONE is trying to defuse this stuff it’s Putin. Turkey seems to WANT World War 3 to start, and Putin prefers that not to happen.
I heard Senator Tom Cotton on talk radio trying to explain our policy (i.e., supporting the ‘moderate’ opposition). He was stumbling around and CLEARLY READING TALKING POINTS. The Republicans in the Senate also have NO CLUE as to what’s going on their, but they continue to support it.
...also, back in the days when the Dems ran the Congress, if a Republican IDIOT were taking this country into World War 3, the Democrats would PASS A LAW to stop the President.
Today’s Republicans are TOTALLY CLUELESS.
Travis, you have more insight than our national defense talking heads in the media. ISIS knows they have the entire world on edge waiting for the next attack so your point of an ISIS worldwide offensive is right on the money. Next year could be a very bloody one worldwide.
WW3 will begin in Europe with a massive “Tet Offensive” style coordinated attack.
I have a major essay on it coming out on Monday.
“Tet, Take Two: Islam’s 2016 European Offensive.”
Keep an eye out for it, I’ll post it on FR.
Our current military leadership is lacking big time.
Case in point. Open testimony by Joint Chief of Staff Dempsey: ...we estimate that 25% of rebels are Al Quaeda.
That means in closed door testimony that number was closer to 40%. And as a member of the military he went along with the arming of those terrorists.
Sadly, we can no longer count on aspects of our military to do the right thing; nor can we rely solely on them to protect us.
A sad state of affairs indeed. And the Uni-Party politicians that supported that policy...McCain/Lindsy/Chuckster et al...not in jail for violating the Patriot Act.
If we wait for these people and their allies to do the right thing....WE'RE DOOMED...WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT...WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! (Glum).

It has Obama written all over it, imo.
As for other NATO countries helping us, that has becoming increasingly a joke as NATO has expanded to include small countries that offer little but ground space. Even the use of ground space in a real war is questionable. As soon as something is required of them they will turn tail and betray the agreement. Many joined in the same way “refugees’ come to the U.S.: to get the benefits, not the liabilities.
NATO was what? Five? Six major Western nations bordering the Warsaw pact. Now, every gangster regime in the world is being invited in to agitate the Russians. Eventually, one is going to start something we really don't want to finish.
NATO should have dissolved in 1991 or so.
Doesn't he mean "Tartars"? Aren't "tatars" one of the vittles Granny fixes for Jethro?

It is perfectly evident to many here that Russia is acting in a way which furthers the interests of our people, our nation, and our religion. Should this cease to be so, the support you detect for Putin would undoubtedly vanish.
For the record, it was the the Prime Minister Davutoglu who said he ordered the shoot down, not Erdogan.
Can’t wait to read it. I fear what you’re saying is true. ISIS and other radical Muslim groups know Europe, America, and all of the western world are filled with spineless leaders. It’s gonna be a horrific 2016. I just hope this country makes the right choice in the presidential election to give us some flicker of hope.
Crimean Tatars
Crimean Tatars are a Turkic ethnic group that formed in the Crimean Peninsula in the 13th-17th centuries, primarily from the Turkic tribes that moved to the land that is now known as Crimea in Eastern Europe from the Asian steppes beginning in the 10th century, with contributions from the pre-Cuman population of Crimea. Crimean Tatars constituted the majority of Crimea's population from the time of its ethnogenesis until mid-19th century, and the relative largest ethnic population until the end of 19th century. Almost immediately after the liberation of Crimea, in May 1944, the USSR State Defense Committee ordered the removal of a majority of the Tatar population from Crimea, including the families of Crimean Tatars serving in the Soviet Army - in trains and boxcars to Central Asia, primarily to Uzbekistan. Starting in 1967, some were allowed to return to Crimea, and in 1989 the USSR Parliament condemned the removal of Crimean Tatars from their motherland as inhumane and lawless.
Tartar is an alternative spelling
Steak tartare is a meat dish made from ground raw beef

Looking forward to it.

Thanks!
“Taters” was what George Boomer Scott called his home runs!
