Many think that our political leadership doesn't get it. I think it would be more accurate to say they don't want to get it--GGG

Putin reminds me of Pakistans Musharraf... likes to act truculent and tough, because he knows that he doesnt have much say in anything anywhere.

"Russia Is Not a Friend of the United States"
Who ever said they were.
BTW "He boasts that the Russian missiles are unaffected by electromagnetic blasts used by current US anti-missile systems." Electromagnetic blasts? Not any current US anti-missle system I'm aware of.

History makes it painfully clear that nations know no "friends". All they ever can acheive is "alliances", which by and large are all too often quite temporary.

The Topols are just a distraction - with increased Russian export of oil and natural gas, we've been induced to shift more of our power plants away from coal, which has hit the coal industry and resulted in a
mine shaft gap, which we cannot allow.

Boy, good thing we gave the Soviets all that foreign aid after the wall came down.
/sarcasm
We should have let them bail themselves out of their century of Communist mismanagement.

<< Russia Is Not a Friend of the United States >>
And, although Australia and Israel come the closest to fitting the description, "friend," neither are Mexico, Canada, Cuba, once-great Britain, Germany and France, "friends."
The United States neither has nor needs "friends" among foreign states.
Nations don't in any case have "friendships" -- only self-interest-serving arrangements.

They are not our friends, and will never be. They will always be our enemy.

Should have disarmed the bear when we won the cold war. Biggest scam in history that that disgusting country is treated like a world power.

Did you know that Russia has military and nuclear missile bases in Kazakhstan and most of the rest of the "Former" soviet union?
To: Tailgunner Joe
After the Cold War, with the Soviet threat gone and with Democrat President Bill Clinton in the White House
Um, I don't think the Soviet threat would be gone then....
To: Tailgunner Joe
The Russian military is Communist in it's makeup. Many units still wear Soviet motif, even the elite ones.
