the facts point to the real danger and that is from Saudi Arabia which the US supports through oil and weapons billions!

Former CIA director James Woolsey described the Saudi-sponsored Wahhabism and Islamist extremism as “the soil in which Al-Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are flourishing.”

And one more thing: try to differentiate between Soviet and Russian. Please try to remember that the Russian Orthodox people suffered under the SOVIET COMMMUNIST DOMINATION more than any other people. Most of the brutes that inflicted the Soviet Marxist Leninist Communist system on Russian were NOT Russian ethnics. And they were certainly not Christian.

I'm curious about your comment. My feeling is that Ronald Reagan was instrumental in causing the Soviet Empire to break apart. Good news for all, in my opinion. Afterwards, we got the new Russian state which, it seems to me, still retains a lot of power and a strong imperialist urge.

I think Russia today is probably less communist than the Soviet Union was 20 years ago, but in terms of power politics, I think the Russian threat is not much different than the Soviet threat.

Do you see this differently?
