Interesting!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

That the Left will blame America is a given. And the peaceniks have been quiet as church mice over the Russian assault on a small country's territory. You don't have to look beyond their hypocrisy to conclude that the only country they want to disarm is America. The Left does not see America as a force for good in the world. It sees nothing wrong with our adversaries adventurism abroad. Sure, the Georgians were probably unwise to provoke The Bear. But that is not the main issue. The main issue is that Russia is using force to see how much it can get away with and now it that it has laid down a precedent in the face of a weak and compliant West, it will in all likelihood resort to it again at some point in the future. In the face of all this, the Left still believes the greatest threat to the planet's future is the wholly imaginary peril of global warming, not the real threat posed from a resurgent Russia! That says it all.

And of course it had nothing to do with Kosovo and the way the West ignored the Russians and created a new Muslim state.

I had not read this, but see my post #43 on the thread regarding Robert Scheer’s article in the SF Chronicle.

It’s laughable to watch the likes of Stephen Cohen and the other frozen-in-the-Amber-Room lefties contort themselves trying to make excuses for a criminalized Russian state whose only ideology is that of John Gotti. Putin’s regime has no ideology, neither soviet nor Great Russian nor Orthodoxy/Autocracy. His grand strategy begins and ends with his offshore personal accounts, and the commodities that generate the cash flowing into same. If the Fulda Gap still has any interest to him and his fellow FSB thieves, it’s as a glide path for their Gulfstreams enroute to their private bankers in Zurich or Liechtenstein.......
