I think little Hugo is all upset that nobody is paying attention to him...

Chavez plans to smuggle these arms to guerilla fighters all over South America. The new Castro wannabe.

Sooner or later, the U.S. might have to open up a full can on Putin & Company.

They oppose us at every turn and economically fornicate with just about every known enemy of ours.

Russia is not our friend.....

lay all today's problems at Billy BJ's feet.....he diddled while the world went crazy and our country is suffering for it now.....

we need to build up our military capacity.....I think we need to streamline our military pension system so we won't be like GM and many other entities that are buried by "obligations".....

we need to stop selling bases and start stock-piling arms and fuels ....

Ah, yes. Russia. The wannabe but also-ran "superpower". All Russia does is create havoc in the misguided belief that that makes it relevant. Pathetic really.

Real superpowers can feed their own people.

Two things come to mind when I read stuff like this. One is that Bill Clinton appeased until America was deemed weak and Madeline Albright insisted that we (America) need not be the only super power.

This is what happens when you cede to terrorists........WWIII.

Thank you Bill Clinton and gang for not protecting your country. The Clinton curse is more apparent than ever.....

NO TO HILLARY!

We should start selling a HUGE arsenal to Poland, Romania, Ukraine and Hungary. Cruise missiles, anti-missile defense, helos, ships... you name it. We should also start a full scale covert electronic warfare program against Hugo. Tap into banks, military installations, their oil system, etc... planting code bombs, changing numbers/dates and just generally wreaking havok on his ability to function in any way. Cripple the little puke.

Weaken him now before he gets out of hand.

I am predicting renewed leftist guerrilla activity in S. America allied with ME terrorism. Purpose: to destablize the region. We are in the first stages of WWIII and most of the people in this country don't want to see it and would rather stick their heads in the stand and pretent a world conflagration is not just around the corner. It is 1938. The same players are present: fascists (radical Muzzies), Lefties, pacifists, isolationists and Muzzie symps like Buchannan, and the majority who just plain want to barbeque and go to ball games.
Some of us are disparing. If 9-11 didn't wake people up to the mortal danger this country is in, I wonder if there is any terror incident that doesn't involve the mass destruction of another landmark that will wake people up?

Look a little further south in S. America and you find a lot of Arabs. Paraguay has the largest population, or so I'm told.

The region is called La Triple Frontera. It is a hotbed of drug production, Al Qaeda and Hizbollah activity, outlawry, smuggling, etc. What government there is there is open to corruption by criminal and terrorist elements. The perfect place to establish a jihadistan.

Slap a bunch of cruise missiles and planes in the Ukraine and Poland. That will get Putin's red panties in a bunch.

"Slap a bunch of cruise missiles and planes in the Ukraine and Poland. That will get Putin's red panties in a bunch."

And throw in that we are helping Poland build "peaceful nuclear power reactors." We'll assure the world community like Russia does that we will take back the processed plutonium but will find a clever way not too also like the Russians have. We'll tell Poland not to pay like Russia did to Iran and then when Poland defaults (like Iran) they get to keep the plutonium.

Putin and Russia haven't changed a BIT since the wall went down. One of my best friends is from Ukraine... she can tell you all about it. Russia is almost certainly going to go back to Communism. And while Leftist in the US and Europe will simultaneously blame the USA for it and quietly celebrate it at cocktail parties, no one in the west will openly admit the real reason for it: Russians, like Muslims, LIKE dictatorship. They NEED dictatorship. They LIKE oppression. ... But that would be insensitive to say that So instead we'll just blame George Bush.

I recall an article in Atlantic about the three country border area... It didn't sound good.

You are right on. Putin is no friend of ours and it's a further example of Bush's naivete that he claimed Putin was some kind of soulmate. Reagan would have never made such a mistake. Now the Russians are stirring up trouble in our backyard and helping arm our enemies.

Radical Islamists are only part of the threat. What about the Chinese? Does anyone really think they are arming to the teeth for nothing? I think we are facing the most dangerous period in our country's history. And where are our allies? You can count them on one hand.
