“When you have the President of the United States and his Secretary of Defense stating on the public record that there needs to be regime change and that our objective in Ukraine is to weaken the Russian military, it is a stated policy. You can try walking it back, but it is closing the barn door after the horse has left. The Russians got the message loud and clear.”
Ah, so NOW you believe whatever comes out of Biden’s mouth? Even though his idiotic comment was quickly walked back. So, you must believe Biden was a star football player bound for the Naval Academy but changed his mind at the last minute because Roger Staubach was there.
“And the new hobby horse is Russia has committed crimes against humanity. Putin and his ilk are war criminals. So how can you negotiate an end to this war with war criminals?”
We did it with Saddam Hussein in 1991.
“The Iranian Revolution was the real catalyst that emboldened militant Islamic Fundamentalism as a real threat to national governments that strayed from Islamic governance.”
I guess you never heard of the Muslim Brotherhood. Unfortunately, King Farouk and Abdel Nasser are not around for comment, both of whom were targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood. And that was many years before the Iranian Revolution.
“That was the plan in a proxy war. You weaken the enemy thru surrogates.”
Exactly! Which is what I said earlier on this very thread.
“The US is being led by one of the most incompetent, inexperienced national security teams in our history. We are being led by idiots who lie to us daily. The ignominious, botched exit from Afghanistan should have been a wake-up call. We are in deep kimchi.”
I fully agree with your last comment.
He is the selected President of the United States and Commander in Chief. When he addresses the crowds in Warsaw and promises to defend every inch of NATO soil, should they believe him? When should we believe him and when shouldn't we believe him? Do the Russians believe him?
We did it with Saddam Hussein in 1991.
We captured Saddam Hussein and he was executed. I spent five years in Riyadh including during the entirety of Desert Shield/Storm.

Isolated incidents. You left out the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 by by members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. That was post Khomeini.
