celebrating russia’s emerging dominance is the middle east is the joy of fools. people are letting their justified contempt for BHO destroy their judgement.
Russia today has a flat income tax of 10 percent on everybody. Why should I be afraid of a country that practices Reaganomics far more than America does. If Vlad wants to conquer my state and impose a low flat tax, I won’t fight in the resistance
Russia is our natural allies. The last white Europeans in a world going dark.
Anyone killing Muzzies is a good thing, regardless of who they are. We best when Iran/Iraq were killing each other.
good point. But while I enjoy dead mussies as much as the next guy I gotta say Putin aint the good guy.
I don’t know that it should be celebrated, but why is celebration the joy of “fools”? We don’t need the ME at all for energy any more. Russia has long borders with ME nations and other Mohammedan nations. Why doesn’t Russia have a greater interest in maintaining order in the ME than we do? Our recent foreign policy certainly doesn’t indicate that we are better than the Russians in dealing with Mohammedan countries in general. Was our foreign policy helpful in N. Africa? Have we made the Balkans safer for Christians? Did our 70s foreign policy improve Iran? Have we acted wisely in Iraq? Has our foreign policy improved Syria? Have we been funding terrorists indirectly? So, what makes you so certain that 1. we are better managers of the ME barbarians, 2. our national interest in the ME is greater than Russia’s, and 3. we can’t get along quite nicely without buying anything that the ME produces? If you think that Russia playing a larger role in the ME is the prelude to Russia taking over the world (and I’m NOT saying you are), you’re living in the Cold War 50s and 60s. Russia is not the Soviet Union, and, I might add, it was the US, and to a lesser extent the EU, that fomented the coup that deposed the elected government of the Ukraine and thereby precipitated the current problems there.
“celebrating russia’s emerging dominance is the middle east is the joy of fools.”
Well, take your pick: it’s either gonna be ISIS or it’s gonna be Russian, because it sure as hell ain’t gonna be the U.S. as long as Obama is at the helm.
No. We know what he is. We're just enjoying the show. Pass the popcorn.
You are correct.
At least the Russians love their children (as Sting once sang)
Muslims see their children as cannon fodder.
It’s happening. We aren’t doing it. We have no say in the matter. If some of us get a certain perverse satisfaction out of it, so be it. Moreover, we have justification for not wanting to see another country bloodied by the dull knives of the radical muslim overlords.
I don’t think people are celebrating Russia’s powerful moves...I think it is actually deep envy. We all wish we had a real president instead of a fake, 1960s peacenik throwback clutching a Nobel a Peace Prize to his bosom.
