I don’t need to understand you to know what you are posting, when you signed up, and that you are a Russian soldier who claims to be in Russian Special Operations Forces.

Like I said, you are the ultimate troll, as you post from Russia.

What is your problem with Russia? Neocons and democrats aside, I still love America. It is up to you to keep it this way. Nobody would love it anymore, as soon as your socialist pests would make it into Amerika.

The New Soviet Union is being throttled in its crib by low oil prices.

Related to this thread topic and Russia’s threats, conservatives are what stand against your goals of empire.

The very thing that you are here to promote, as a Russian military troll.

Threatening countries with being nuked, as well. I think the only country they share that with is Iran.

~Related to this thread topic and Russia’s threats, conservatives are what stand against your goals of empire.~

The only thing making demand for empire in Russia is actually a russophobic rhetorics similar to yours, when spilled by patients like McCain and alikes who are occupying government offices instead of being institutionalized elsewhere.
Not only they are saying this crap like it is 1950s, they are actually giving money and agitating Russian leftist groups to cause troubles.

Then local natsbols and military-industrial lobby are pointing their filthy fingers at that and saysing: ‘You see, American are hypocrites, they don’t wish any good to as and encircling.’

You say certain politicians are strong ‘on national defence’ but do you mean pimping Army and Air Force to radical sunni princes by that?

We might understand national defence very differently.

Why won’t they post troops to the border instead?

See wet, our first priority is protecting the Afghan heroin production.

I’m not up on the London club scene, but we may soon see some efforts of real concern in this regard: Afghan farmers should undoubtedly be receiving a bit more for their product, as their revenue is perhaps only about 1% of the final cost.

Our illustrious globalist tax-exempt foundations may direct that a new global movement be started to promote FairTrade(tm) Afghan smack.

Western kids really get into those sorts of efforts, and in this day and age, it may be just what’s needed to really put the gleam of legitimacy on the military campaign. You know, something we can all feel “good” about.

I really see Russia and America, eventually, forming a firm alliance, even if 'an alliance of convenience' ie expediency, even temporarily & as required.

In the scheme of (current) world events & matters, and particularly the Islamic threat, Russia & America can be & are much more of friends than foes, provided we snap out of 'soviet' or 'neo-soviet' preconceptions. 'Neo-Soviets' don't exist anymore than 'Neo-Nazis' in certain now European countries. And, I use the word "foe" more than natural "enemy for domination".

We are, you are forcing us to move troops and bases closer to NATO's borders towards the Russians in an effort to stop the invasions.

~We are, you are forcing us to move troops and bases closer to NATO’s borders towards the Russians in an effort to stop the invasions. ~

I mean US border. US diplomacy and military should pay more attention to Central, South America, Pacific and probably a little part of the Gulf area. It is where US interests lay. Let Europe and most of the Middle East solve its own problems. There are adult people actually who don’t need a ‘Big Brother’ to teach them moral values, on which he grows each day more ignorant himself.

Haven’t certain Great Americans taught you to keep out of Europe to save the trouble?
Haven’t another told to focus on Americas and has the entire doctrine after him?

You seems like spit on these gentlemen, got a foreign policy from the British in 1945 heavily worn, have no idea what to do with that but still use it without any clue why exactly you are doing this way.

Won’t ever work again. Following Obama, Russia is as much a threat to mankind as ISIS (and we all know his real attitude towards ISIS), right after Ebola :).
And it seems lile our residents russophobes agree.

I may agree at this stage. Like everything else, matters become clearer in hindsight.

As recent as some 4 or 5 yrs ago, here, we had all sorts of predictions how things in Iraq, for instance, was going to work perfectly. I was personally hopeful too, but couldn't really criticize, without offending some. Some even questioned why Maliki was chosen to be the PM in Iraq since he was close to the Iranian regime.

Others, who seemingly oppose the Iranian mullahs' regime said: well Iraq is by majority a Shi'ite country, nothing wrong with democracy we introduced, and another Shi'ite regime based on Iraqi VOTES.

We saw the results a few months ago. And, had nothing to do with the American military moving out. After all, sooner or later American military had to move out... I believe the American servicemen and women who served in Iraq knew best, from personal experience & observation. But Politicians always have their own agendas. The rest, the public, are generally misinformed.

Anyway, my point is Hindsight is always interesting. Because every battle and in fact war is won or lost before it begins.

For an active duty Russian soldier who claims to be in FSB (special Operations), and who signed up here in March to defend Russia against the United States and NATO, your posts are becoming more and more focused on anti-conservatism and against American interest, in other words, the propaganda efforts are just pure troll.
