The real question is Obama worse than Putin...there’s no doubt in my mind...
I thought Whoopie said Stalin was misunderstood?
My concern is that zer0 is up there with Stalin hitler and Mao. We are in a world of hurt. We are being invaded in the south and our dear leader is out there fund raising.
Is Putin worse than Stalin? No, not yet, not nearly. We can give him time, but like other posters, I’m more worried about where Zero would go if he was unconstrained.
Not yet.
Our leader is hoping to win the prize though...
I don’t know, has Putin killed(murdered) 40 Million or so people yet? How many People has Putin Sentenced to the gulags? I would say “No”.
Not too long ago Buchanan was comparing this "leader" to the Pope. What Buchanan describes as "necessary" reapproachments with Moscow was merely appeasement and weakness. Hence the Russkies have kept on killing, and are still as much a threat to us as they were when the cold war supposedly ended. Even worse now, because we let down our guard as a nation.
Hence why defectors like Anatoliy Golitsyn and others warned us not to fall for any supposed liberalization of Russia. Until the KGB and underground communist structures are dismantled, the Reds will continue murdering people.
As for the U.S. supposedly launching a "U.S. backed coup" for a "legitimately elected leader." He's full of crap. This "leader" was violating the Ukrainian constitution, looting the treasury, dismantling the military, and having opponents picked up and beaten by his special police. He also did the exact opposite of what he campaigned for. Furthermore, he fled the country to a foreign enemy, wasn't even toppled, and the same government that was elected in 2012 remained in power.
Buchanan and the Ron Paul wing of the party are Russkie bootlickers and need to be purged from the party.
Nope.
Rhetorical Headline Alert.
I had to read the article to tell if Buchanan is being serious. Of course he isn’t. I can’t even tell if morons like McCain or Boehner are being set up for such a silly comparison.
But as usual, Pat know his history. And is able to draw correct conclusions.
Putin’s probably bad news for America and American interests (among other things, Putin loves Iran), but is he really bad news for the Russian people? He’s done a lot to privatize and deregulate Russian industry, and he seems to have concern for Christianity and Christian values (unlike Stalin). In terms of domestic policy, Putin is light years ahead of Stalin.
At this point, it would be hard to tell which person would be more dangerous overall to America, especially since both despised us and neither of them shriveled up into an isolationist ball. Stalin certainly had more to work with and was lucky that FDR was a sympathizer, but I’d argue that Putin is smarter on his own merits. Putin has no need to capitulate to a moron like Hussein Soetoro, especially since they both share the common goal of destroying America.
Whoa. That's not going to go over well here.
In regard to what?
Has he killed 50 million Russians yet?
No.
Look at the body count. No comparison.
He is a ruthless autocrat, though.
Is gonorrhea worse than syphilis?
Has Putin murdered tens of millions of his own people? Well come back and ask that question when he has.
"Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred."
In short, Ukraine's independence was never part of America's agenda. From 1933 to 1991, it was never a U.S. vital interest. Bush I was against it.
Unless there's more to offer from an expanded quote, this is not evidence of Bush I not supporting independence for the Ukraine. It is evidence of him not wanting to see a domestic despotic leadership to replace a far off tyranny, and evidence of him not wanting to see suicidal nationalism based on ethnic hatred.
Putin is small potatoes compared to the obliteration Obama is doing to America right here and now.
Honestly, compared to what Obama is doing this very minute to America, from open-borders to faggotizing the nation, I can’t muster up a single solitary damn about anything to do with Putin.
Putin is a cog in a world wide machine..
The chinese curse of wishing "Interesting Times" on you.. is at hand..
Amazing how accurate the John Birch Society in their prohecys..
AND the wisdom of Barry Goldwater was in seeing the future..
Obama is indeed a PUNISHMENT to the United States..
the half has not been told............... YET....
Buchanan weaving his lies again to support his pipe dream of isolationism. What Bush said has to be looked in context of 1991. He was not against Ukrainian state. He warned about national tensions like between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

About 40 thousand people died in that conflict and it was not the only conflict like this. That is what George Bush was against, not Ukrainian state.
