The ONLY thing Zero has done that makes any sense..
and I repeat:
It would be a little helpful if people would ditch the Cold War mentality. Eastern Europe is just fine and “Evil Russia” is not gonna invade.
Helllloooooo!!! those days are over.
Just in case anyone failed to understand what the missiles that were to be placed in Eastern Europe were supposedly for... It was to “defend” against threats from the MIDDLE EAST.. Iran in particular. Total BS..
In reality it was a plan on the part of some idiots who long for the “good ‘ol days” of confrontation between Russia and the West... when they could sell expensive missile systems and make a lot of your money.
Had the dimwits in foggy bottom not had their collective heads placed securely in the dark smelly regions between their fat buttocks when the Soviet Union collapsed we could now be enjoying a great and productive relationship between us and Russia. Instead they let an opportunity handed to us on a silver platter by Ronald Reagan at the cost of BILLIONS of dollars...go straight down the toilet.
In my opinion the most tragic diplomatic blunder in American history.
Tell Georgia
>>”In my opinion the most tragic diplomatic blunder in American history.”<<
I’ll second that.
“Eastern Europe is just fine and “Evil Russia” is not gonna invade.”
Ever hear of Georgia?
Really???????????
Let me get this...........we DON’T deploy land base missiles that can intercept incoming missiles in minutes...instead we send a cruiser that takes days to get there to intercept them.....When AFTER they hit their target....unbelievable...
The shadow
Tell that to the Georgians.
Blame the U.S., eh? Like liberals, you assume that the U.S. has unlimited power to make other countries do what we want. If they don't do it, it must be the U.S.’s fault. The more accurate solution: blame the Russians for their c@#$py choice of leaders and their c@#$py choice of policies.
The truth is the ex-Soviet republics don't like the the Russians. They didn't like them when they were ruled by the Tzars and they didn't like them when they were ruled by communists. They are happy to be rid of them and don't want their domination back, especially since the Russians have turned back to authoritarianism. This astonishes and enrages the Russians, and is similar to the alienation of an alcoholic from his family members. It's his fault, not theirs, he has to deal with what he is doing wrong. They just want to live their own lives, free from others' interference. Interference which you support, obviously.
Ten years ago I would have said Russia has changed, the ex-Soviet states have nothing to fear from it any more. The Russians themselves have proved me wrong, and they prove you wrong too.
“It would be a little helpful if people would ditch the Cold War mentality. Eastern Europe is just fine and “Evil Russia” is not gonna invade.”
Russian history suggests otherwise.
