I've noticed that a number of people here are still on board with the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Clinton neocon/neoliberal foreign policy, so I am helpfully posting this very detailed an informative article to assist in their deprogramming. Anyone else who hasn't been keeping up to speed on these topics will find it helpful as well.

One thing that is very clear in the upcoming election is that Trump has no desire whatsoever to threaten nuclear war. He will bargain and may bargain on behalf Eastern Europe with a lot less leverage than Reagan did. OTOH the average Eastern European is fully on board with Trump on Muslim immigration which is one of Putin's bargaining chips.

I trust Trump to give us a modernized nuclear deterrent to retaliate overwhelmingly against a nuclear first strike. I also trust him to bargain aggressively for the best deal we can get from Russia without the threat of all-out war.

Can Russia Survive Washington’s Attack?

Probably not, but the real question is: can North America and Western Europe survive Russian thermonuclear retaliation?

"It is not only American generals who are irresponsible and declare on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that “Russia is an existential threat to the United States” and also to the Baltic states, Poland, Georgia, Ukraine, and all of Europe. "

The poor Russians, surrounded by so many people who hate and distrust them for no reason./s

Thinking that Russia wouldn't hesitate for a second to invade and swallow its neighbors whole if it thought it would get away with it doesn't make one a neocon.

We don't have to do nation building in Eastern Europe, just protect the existing countries from being absorbed by the mass of barbarism to the East.

Sorry, Russia’s centuries long habit of murdering their neighbors has nothing to do with “Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama-Clinton neocon/neoliberal foreign policy”. But thanks for playing.

NATO, Russian and Chinese forces should pretend to launch at each other - but all "overshoot" and wipe out most of the Middle East. Just think of the stability that would return to the world.

Only half-joking...

Russian planes buzzing ships and planes of the US and the U.K. is an existential threat.
Putin is using radical Islam, just like the old days. Communism remains. Putin is KGB first, last and always

This article is insane

I’m not sure we’re in a position to talk much. Kosova (as Clinton called it) was part of Yugoslavia (now Serbia) for centuries. The people there became more Muslim and decided to start a civil war. The Serbs, justifiably, said no...you are part of Serbia, and resisted. What do we (NATO) do? We bomb the crap out of civil targets in Belgrade until they capitulate. [and by they, the Saudis have now turned Kosova into an Islamic terrorist base]

What happened in Crimea? The population there, almost all ethnic Russians, wanted to be part of Russia again, given their despotic local leadership. Putin goes there, severs off Crimea from the Ukraine, and that is that (I should note, Putin didn’t bomb the daylights out of Kiev to get his way, either).

So we sever Serbia because the people there didn’t want to stay Serbian, and Putin severs Crimea because the people there didn’t want to stay as part of the Ukraine.

...am I missing something?

I don’t trust Trump to do anything.

But I do trust Clinton or Bernie to do everything.
..that is wrong.

Ah yes . . . Judaeophobe Paul Craig Roberts. One of those guys who thinks Israel is to blame for everything bad that happens anywhere at any time.

Just what we need on FR at this particular time in history: more mainstreaming of Jew-haters.[/sarcasm]

Oh well. He's in good company. Francis Parker Yockey supported Joseph Stalin.
