"Today, Russia’s $1.8 trillion GDP is a veritable joke when arrayed against the $45 trillion of GDP resources embedded in the US and the balance of NATO; and its $85 billion defense budget amounts to not even 7% of the $1.25 trillion combined NATO defense budgets."

Our garbage establishment has hollowed out our industries so that we are no longer a super power. I think the rest of the world has caught on that our idiotic leadership, in an attempt to diminish the American citizen, has diminished America itself. I think this ends with a vicious series of Civil Wars in the West, the dismantling of NATO , and quite a few of the "important people" getting hung by their own citizens.

Nobody cares what that Trump-hating a-hole has to say.

The left has taken over and that means endless war.

Stockman seems to have missed the point that Russia guaranteed Ukraine's security in return for Ukraine relinquishing their nukes. Then Putin instigated and supported separatist movements in east Ukraine, which in turn got Ukrainians looking to the EU and NATO for help. Current Russian demands are to the effect that NATO must remove all forces and terminate new NATO members so as to respect the region of the former Warsaw Pact as a permanent Russian sphere of influence. Those demands and the Russian attack on Ukraine is what has reinvigorated NATO, not Western arms marketing.

Nato flying the gay flag

Went marxist - jihad

All religion - independence ( russia ) must be eliminated

Israel is on the top of the list

Serbia was the whipping boy - warning

The walk on the mount

Walked that back

Stockman nails it.

So tue world was awesome when the soviets had all these satellite countries as human shields around them, many of them not willing participants in the matter.

If it was so awesome that must have been why the barb wire on all the fences surrounding them faced inward.

Now that more of them are free from sovietski oligarchy that replaced “official” socialists, and joined nato, somehow the world is worse off.

Both systems are far from perfect. One however you could join or leave voluntarily.

The purpose for founding NATO after WWII was necessary for peace. But in recent years it has expanded it’s agenda to include enlarging by taking in more countries, being involved in hostilities in Afghanistan, flexing its muscles in Africa, and has become more like a warlord. The NATO founders surely are rolling over in their graves.

Russia can, however, still actually build things.

[Peace and Security Around the World]

Beware when there IS "Peace and Security" (how, exactly, it will all play out remains to be seen)

What's also amazing is how they're using language from the Bible, and it literally matches, TO THE WORD, that which was prophesied nearly 2,000 years ago.

"Peace and Security" in regards to dividing Israel and creating a Palestinian state. I don't know that the 60th-year anniversary of the U.N. means anything specific but if you haven't seen the video before, you might find it interesting in light of the RSV verse above.

7 years of 'Peace and Security' - "Peace and Safety" KJV - "Peace and Security" RSV

Ah, "peace and security" - the catchphrase of the Last Days. Beware when people say there IS "Peace and Security".

1 Thessalonians 5:3 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

3 When people say, “There is Peace and Security,”

then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.
