As long as America is worried about Ukraine, it’s not worried about ObamaCare.
Personally, I RESPECT Russia looking out for the interests of its people (i.e., ethnic Russians) in the Ukraine.
Maybe other countries abandon their friends at the first time of trouble (Benghazi, ‘Arab Spring’, now Israel, soon Japan and Taiwan), but once you are friends with Russia, they WILL stand by you.
Right. Americans can only do one thing at a time. You’ve as much contempt for Americans as Putin does.
Yeah, lots of people were impressed with how the Germans in Austria, the Sudetenland, and Danzig were looked out for too. Pan-russian chauvinism couldn’t evolve to anything the world would need to worry about as Putin interjects himself into the affairs of other nations to help the poor mistreated Russians.
ONe could easily argue that we never finish ourwars..
1. War II as is stated in this article. The greatest generation left a big mess for future generations.
2. Korean War. Agreeing to terms that could have agreed to before the shooting started.
3. Viet Nam need a I say more?
4. Desert Storm. Bush Sr. was an idiot. Could have changed the entire course of that region had he finished the job.
5. Iraq War II. Oh...you get the picture.
I think it might be that we lack the Stonewall Jackson’s in the presidency. WE are a milk toast nation. The imposter in chief will never understand that strength brings results and that weakness brings war.
The posturing in Ukraine and Syria are hideously weak and shameful.
If you look at Patton’s suggestions, it would have taken virtually nothing to get the Russians to back down.
SAme now. IT would take very little to get the Russians to back off....and the whole world would be behind us.
But now the worm has turned. Russia is the budding capitalist society and we are run by Marxists.
So I don’t give a flying fig what Putin does in countries that were once part of Russia. I hope a future American president has the stones to return California Arizona New Mexico and California to America after zer0 gives it to LaRaza Mexico.
So you want to get involved in war for Ukraine? Not me.
I would encourage everyone to read “Target Patton”. Whether you agree with the authors conclusions or not it is a fascinating read and includes some very interesting and obscure history.
It sounds easy until you start looking at what was in the State and Army Departments at the time. Communists. Probably a lot of our decisions made after WW II were made with these communists pushing people in their direction.
Sad.
“Personally, I RESPECT Russia looking out for the interests of its people (i.e., ethnic Russians) in the Ukraine.
Yes. Just ask the Georgians and Ukrainians how great Russian friendship is. Might as well as the Poles, Hungarians, Czechs, Finns, Estonians, Lithuanians, and Latvians as well.
“Hey Russia- on behalf of the sane folks of our country -the side you haven’t heard from in a while- GO TO HELL: we don’t respect you, we don’t like you, we will never trust you... and in fact think you are largely hostile, thieving, drunken 3rd-world trash... especially the tacky rich ones.”
Bingo!
No way Obama follows any of these tactics and strategies
He will continue to bend over backwards to prove his flexibility.
It would not surprise me in the least if it were ever proven ironclad true. Until a few years ago, I dismissed the conspiracy theory. Now I’m a little more open to the idea.
Are you daft? What a ridiculous comment. Ukraine is being robbed.
“but once you are friends with Russia, they WILL stand by you.”
Just like the Mafia will stand by you; if they don’t kill you first!
The Russians are a bunch of thugs; the evil empire as Reagan said. There is ZERO to admire in them.
