Tell Vladimir I'll have more flexibility after the election.

It helps to have flexibility when you’re bending over.
Obama is going to screw around and the USA will find itself cut off from the Space Station and any other manned lift capability . Never forget , this pinhead shut down our Space Shuttle mission and caused us to entirely rely on Russia to access space .
America and Americans made a huge mistake , electing Barack Obama as President . Twice.
This isn't news - quite a few of us on FR were pronouncing this the return of the Great Powers era several years ago. That one did not end well for the diplomats and the diplomatists. But the lofty rhetoric was exactly the same.
“He has the G8 summit in Sochi coming up, no one really saw this kind of thing coming,” a Senate aide protested. In the world of Senate aides, G8 summits matter more than territory.
Precisely. The intricate web of treaties enacted by the Great Powers was supposed to make war impossible, which it was until the guns started to roar. Then it turned out to be all too possible, even predictable, which Putin's actions certainly were, (not only predictable but predicted). They tried again after 1918 and the result was Chamberlain clutching a piece of paper that was the key to Peace In Our Time...until the guns started to roar. I think the real world might be forgiven a bit of dismay that these people simply do not learn.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Nailed it! Nothing more needs to be said. Thanks for posting.
Yep, we will see the upgrade of this article on Greenfield’s blog later in the week. For now here is the rough draft, team. Read and be edified.
Peace is that brief, glorious period when every one stands around reloading.
Sure. Uh huh! Almost like it was about a movie showing muslims Russians in a bad way, right?
Obama, Kerry, et al are idiots and dweeb nerds, presenting themselves as men of skill and strength, against a man who knows they are poses to be ignored or bitch slapped.
One does not pretend to be a man toward, well, a man.
The results of nerd aggression, threat and intimidation result in roundly being disregarded for what they are:
“feckless eunichs, not worthy of any particular attention. Like so many Chihuahuas yipping in the face of a husky or wolf, who wonders about their stupidity to challenge, as they saunter past the never threatening erudite punk”.
What mistakes ensue as a result could be disasterous or at least feel as if one has been rubbed up and down a shag carpet.
Stupidity hurts and burns, searing the conscience, as it should.
“You just don’t in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext,” a baffled Secretary of State John Kerry said
I wonder if this is what John told the North Vietnamese
in Paris so many years ago?
“Obama Isn’t Disengaged From the World: He just has a better understanding of how power works in the modern world.”
Gee, wish I had thought of this line of BS in school when I wasn’t paying attention.
“Obama is going to screw around and the USA will find itself cut off from the Space Station and any other manned lift capability . Never forget , this pinhead shut down our Space Shuttle mission and caused us to entirely rely on Russia to access space .”
Putin cutting the US off from the space station might be the best thing that could happen for America. The sheeple might finally wake up and the Republicans in Congress might find a backbone.
that’s a good point
I was SO PISSED when O shut down the shuttle program
The nerve of that cretin
Obama’s impotence makes him a world leader, while Putin’s potency makes him a 19th century relic.
We laugh - but the boys at the New York Times will push this line.
Placemark and a reminder to self to read every single article Greenfield writes. He is one of the very best.
Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............
Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.
These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.
Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".
In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.
