Of course, as in the Cold War, the Left gets its marching orders from Moscow and then proposes its policies.

From Patton's speech: "Americans hate to lose".

But Democrats want to lose.

Therefore, Democrats are not Americans.

Simple logic.

Yep, some things NEVER change! Let’s not build an anti-missile system in Eastern Europe since we don’t want to piss off our Russian masters.

Yeah... It's official, the cold war is obviously back, because the same DumocRATs who urged Ronnie to be weak in the 1980s and stuck their heads in the sand, are now exposing their cowardice again.

Peace has never been gained through weakness.

Democrats really do own defeat... missile defense won’t work, drilling won’t bring us enough oil, war never solves anything... And THEY are running on a campaign of “hope”?

The Russians don’t want the US to have a defense and neither to the Democrats.

What a bunch of idiots, are they unaware of how this can be used to contain the Russians?
It doesn’t matter if it’s 100% effective, it’s a strategic game changer that will put a collar on the bear.

I'm shocked, shocked! These are probably some of the same Dems who led the nuclear freeze movement in the 1980s.

It’s because they want the Russians to be able to conquer Europe ...

just like during the cold war.
