Modern-Day Russian "Dupes"

Pat Buchanan’s column, “Is God Now on Russia’s Side?,” is difficult to read and almost laugh-out-loud funny, as Buchanan was once a staunch anti-communist who served President Reagan as his communications director during the Cold War. Buchanan’s opposition to the Evil Empire, as Reagan correctly called it, has given way to an unseemly embrace of former Soviet KGB colonel Vladimir Putin, the virtual dictator of Russia who served the “Evil Empire” for decades.

Russians never quit being Christian, and Putin, whatever his beliefs, plays to that. Buchanan is often right on some issues, particularly immigration, diversity and culture, though I find him untrustworthy on details - he's still a clever man. See eg, here and here.

...if the Moderator showed us the originating point of their IP addresses.

That would be enlightening I am sure. Maybe a thread should be started "How Many Russian Agents Are There on FR, and Useful Idiots Who Parrot Them?"

The old KGB frame of mind cannot comprehend that if you don’t like putin that does not automatically mean that you love obungamao. they haven’t forgotten anything old and haven’t learned anything new.

Ever read the book New Lies for Old by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn? It is a worthy read.

We agree on the bottom line. I just see Russia being aggressive and expansionist because that is who they are. Have been for centuries.

Why is it that we are forced into this false dilemma between one scumbag and another?

I don't think there are any winners here. I don't feel like taking sides in this because I think both sides are bastards. Obama's a bastard too.

And why, exactly, do you believe the Ukrainians "are bastards"?

“During Reagan’s time we had domestic problems too, but that didn’t stop us from dealing with the evil empire.

This mentality is part of the Libertarian taint on the conservative movement. Isolationism is just a different path to suicide.”

Correct. Thank you
