“The first course of counter measures must be to remove Moscow’s most valuable geostrategic proxies in the Middle & Near East in that of Russian armed Iran on Iraq’s eastern border and Russian armed Syria, on Iraq’s western border. American and Coalition troops are being murdered by Iranian and Syrian trained jihadist killers, not forgetting the Wahhabist Sunni terrorist funded by Saudi Arabia plus scores of other Sunni controlled Arab/Muslim régimes.”
You are correct America unfortunately & continues being hooked on imported Middle Eastern (Islamic) oil, however there has been minor progress to alter that energy dependent condition, some 30 years too late, but nevertheless, attempts are underway to gear toward alternative energy sources.
In terms of the Saudis, my own opinion is the Wahhabist Islamic cultist controlling the oil rich nation are not our friends and are actively funding various Sunni related terrorist groups and wars, plus the fact the Arabian régime heavily finances at least 80% on new mosques in the Western world. Fifteen of the nineteen September 11th hijackers were Saudi nationals and all were crazed WahHabists.
"Missile shield is stupidity that will en u as maginot line in France, that money could be spent in conventional weapon system, booletproof wests, replacing of M16 with new rifle, replacement of 5,56 with stronder round etc. Democrates are cancer of US, and cant be removed."
The Eastern Europeans are confronted with multi potential missile threats from Iran, Syria, Putin's Russia, and even from North Korea, contingent on the various ranges of that communist state's offensive nuclear missile capabilities, thus the defensive 'missile shield' the most advanced mobile AMB system is indeed needed as well as upgrades in conventional weapon systems. Relating to your comment on "the Democrats are cancer of US, and cant be removed." Yes, they are a cancer, they have a slim majority in the House but that current majority can be altered through future elections.
"Russian export of stretegic products (oil and gas) is keeping EU alive. That is all about. Germany, France, Utaly are dependant on Russian oil and gas (Italy signet deal with Putin 14 days ago) and no such mesures will ever be taken. US lost NATO as an ally. Even if West inposes embargo on Russia, it will cause dessaster for West economy. Power shortages, reduction of economy, job lossess, while Russia will orientate to sell to China and India."
Russia's recent history of energy blackmail should be serious warning for E.U. leaders. that becoming dependent on Moscow for free flowing energy requirements is not only foolish by potentially dangerous for the nation security of each E.U. nation.
NATO forces are working well in Afghanistan so I do not understand why you say 'the U.S. has lost NATO'. granted amongst various left leaning E.U. heads of state, sure there is rabid anti-Americanism on a variety of issues. If the updated polls are correct at least France will not be dragged under control of yet another far Leftist in Sunday's election results. The French socialists will be defeated, according to the polls.
Getting back to the increasing problems with Russia. What course of attack would you recommend when Putin's Kremlin steps over the line again? Recall, only issuing verbal condemnations of Russian aggression will encourage the neo-Soviets to test the West even further. The Russians respect what they are in the habit of dishing out, which is force, not hollow diplomatic corp speeches.
