If this is slander, then please present to me proof (e.g. an old post, etc) where either of the two of you have overtly promoted: 1) Rearmament 2) A more robust or aggressive stance toward the PRC, Russia, Syria, Pakistan, DPRK and the like 3) Questioned the validity of the claimed liberalizations by the USSR 4) Expressed concern regarding the strategic military intent of other nation states. Show me.

Ah, yes, in the world of belmont_mikhail_suslov, one must prove their innocence of treason--where treason is defined as "deviating from belmont_mikhail_suslov's official approved line."

I've already expressed my opinions on the challenges the US faces here. You may disagree with my assessment; however, I fail to see how disagreement with your opinion is, as you attempt to say, proof that I am not a loyal American.

You leveled the charge, good sir. Provide solid proof--not of mere disagreement with you and your stance, but of my ACTUALLY being on the side of a foreign power against the United States--which, BTW, is the Constitutional definition of treason.

Provide the proof that I am a traitor.

Put up.

Or shut up.

I simply asked which side you are on. Naturally, it is possible that your reflexive downplaying of the PRC, Russia and other large hostile nation states is simply a difference of opinion. If that is the case, then so be it, we agree to disagree. It is also possible that you want to present yourself as simply a fellow patriot who disagrees with me, but in reality you have an explicit goal to downplay certain things and thereby exert some form of influence over our military strategy and defense outlays. I suppose in a semi anonymous forum true proof is never possible. I do plan to do a statistical analysis, at some point, regarding your opinions on matters of the threats posed by hostile great powers. No time to do it this week, but I'll eventually get to it and post it on this forum.
