In both cases from Russia trying to start war by invading countries, to North Korea, you stand strong, or they will devour you and feed on your weakness.
Both of those nations only see you as weak or strong, and if you are weak, they will feed on you.
If you want peace, then do not allow them the power and nations that they want, to become strong enough to start a war.
I remember about 1990 buying a cell phone and the salesman telling me that I could call anywhere in the world, except N.K. because there were zero cell phones there. I wonder if that has changed any.
Obama said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
He lied.
He said Benghazi was cause by a YouTube video.
He lied.
Now he’s says North Korea is behind the attack on Sony.
Why does anyone believe him?
Could this be the setup for something really big, so that we’ll all believe it’s coming from the outside?
Did they try unplugging the router and plugging it back in.
I understand what you are saying.
I just don’t think Ukraine is the innocent victim. They are weaker, but they are irresponsible, expecting everyone else to bail them out. Neither do I see Putin as evil as you do. That is not to say he wears a halo. I just see two sides.
The movie thing is the bigger example of foolishness to me. Yes that guy is nuts. So why rattle his cage. It seems grossly irresponsible of Sony when they could have done the same thing but fictionalized the person and place.
I do agree with your principle of peace through strength. I do not agree that it is always necessary and wise to flex maximum power. You might just find yourself going down a very bad road (as in the poison pawn). It is important to see the big picture and strategize.
Of course famously we have the appeasers during WW2 who made deadly mistakes in that direction. So I certainly understand where you are coming from. That cannot be repeated. We waited and waited and did not get involved. But I think these days we are starting to err in the other direction. That can be equally dangerous.
I don’t want to be enemies here because I agree with so much that you say.
You only repeated yourself, fear is the feeling that guides you, Russia is the concern, not your thoughts on the purity of Ukraine, Ukraine is not the nation that has been and is pursuing to conquer all of Europe and dominate the world, and is trying to reassemble the evil empire that we finally defeated at such great cost in treasure and lives.
And your groveling in front of North Korea is pathetic and what is this about people wanting to “flex maximum power” about some movie, that is as goofy as you defending Russia’s aggression by saying that they are only conquering impure nations like Ukraine. Russia is impure, as is North Korea, two of the most impure and evil countries to ever exist.
Alright I give up. You think you are everyone’s psychic friend if they disagree with you on any point.
You define everything in the extreme just to serve your own point of view. And you are WAY too emotional. For example “your groveling in front of North Korea is pathetic.” Well your lack of ability to comprehend and be factual is not so impressive either.
I am not interested in anything else you have to say.
I haven’t defined anything or been extreme about anything, you just seem to think that remaining strong and firm in the face of aggression is a path that America needs to abandon, if we haven’t already under Obama, it is far to early for us to be surrendering because you are afraid we might make the bad men hurts us.
