Kim Zifeld is a theme troll. I guess Putie ate her lunch at the time or something.
You have to wonder, who has the more corrupt elections, the Russians or the Americans?
The results are not too great in either case. At least Putin was definitely born in Russia.
But the arguments made here are important and should be weighed in the balance of any conservative American response to the complexity unfolding.
Not everything will be what it seems. A sense of proportion will be required. What’s more important to everyone’s future security, a few guys with pressure cooker bombs, or bankers willing to grab retirement funds to prop up failing socialist countries in Europe?
I don’t condone terror, but we need to keep our eye on the ball these days, the pressure cooker bombers might destroy a hundred lives but the international bankers can destroy millions with the stroke of a pen. Vlad Putin is another variable in a complex puzzle, he doesn’t control much more of the “game” being played than the U.S. government. What he thinks and does are important but not controlling. The people we really need to keep under close watch are grey, anonymous individuals whose names are probably not known to 99.9% of people, even to those who try to follow politics.
And these people will stop at nothing to preserve their own power. The death of nations and millions of people would mean nothing to them, so long as their security and wealth were preserved. I don’t think many of them live in North America either, so we’re on shaky ground, if it came time to place us in mortal danger to support “the game” being played, then that’s what will happen. Potential agents of extreme solutions are out there for the hiring, and could be identified quite easily.
The pressure cooker bombers are just boys playing a man’s game and they somehow succeeded where most would fail. It’s a terrible thing, just like any random acts of madness. But the man’s game is financial and when the pieces are moved on that chessboard, even Vladimir Putin will have to take note and respond carefully. He’s no better off, really, than any of us.
Does that invalidate her comments?
Looking at your posting history, it is very Russia-centric. Does that make you a theme troll? I’m guessing you are Russian, so therefore would have some insight in this area. I’d like to hear your comments on the substance of what she says.
You are 100% correct. She's reflexively anti-Russian.
