Russia is not weak, but it is also not strong. In fact, it is MUCH weaker than what Putin/Russians would want the world to think. It’s more like a pretty aggressive bee with a big stinger. Sure, it can cause pain and discomfort. Like a bee, it can scare off someone by buzzing about. But the day it uses its sting is the day it dies.
Putin is a patriot who puts the interests of Russia first.
When his interests align with ourselves, then of course we should work together. When they conflict, then Trump correctly will oppose.
This is a healthy way for nation states to,operate. A true Westphalian system of state sovereignty would mean there would be no more wars. It’s the Liberal Marxists who are responsible for every conflict the last two centuries
I say this with pure honesty, and in fact I said this back in 2009.
I would venture to say, that you could pick any person on Free Republic’s 300 Club, and that person would be a better president than Obama.
Obama was a joke. A lazy, cowardly, incompetent, joke of a president who was not remotely qualified. Which goes to show that you can have anyone in the WH for 4 years, and not suffer too much, 8 years borders on range range problems. Beyond 8 years and you can have the demise of our civilization.
I can say now that Bush and Clinton were also jokes as president, but at least they were governors of a state, and had some knowledge about how things go, even though they too were cowards.
We haven’t even scratched surface of Obama’s incompetence.
Time to dust off the design for NEUTORN weapons and really PO the libs.
These treaties are retarded anyway. They always come with unpredictable outcomes. The naval limitations treaties of the 1920s gave us German pocket battleships, and aircraft carriers.
A far more sane way would be to not have arms control at all. Build what you need, and don’t go out of your way to provoke other nations.
