Many of us believe that America is going to suffer a neo-Soviet/Chinese invasion at some point in the near future, with a follow up nuclear war when we eject them.

Just great... I had wondered when Russia would start taking advantage of us... You’re right, this is REALLY bad...

You know... I wondered when Putin would start taking advantage of Obama’s weaknesses (he is a joke to them). I guess the time is now. There is no way Putin is going to want a US base inside a country he wants to re-integrate into the Neo-Soviet Union.

I don’t know if we need to worry about our folks being hurt necessarily, but Obama will probably acquiesce and “close” this important strategic base... He IS stupid enough to do so (IMHO). I hope it doesn’t come to that, but I don’t trust Russia at all, frankly.

It would be just like them (”Neo”-Soviets) to start something now — China has hurt us economically as they promised in 2007, and then Russia putting the pressure on while we are busy in Iraq and Afghanistan? As IF the Commies are gone? Hardly... Plus, Obama is a Fascist and Communists HATE fascists. Especially one who probably USED to be a Communist through his mom — who he rejected and embraced OTHER ideas...

I don’t think Obama would lift a finger to come to the aid of Israel, do you?

He already gave them the finger more than once, what more do you want from him?

Canada was battling Nazis two years before Pearl Harbor. We would have reduced our American war-dead by half by ravaging Hitler early.

I think an idea of Russian involvement is mostly to target increasing Chinese influence in Kyrgyz energy sector. President Bakiev’s brother who were in charge for commerce favoured the Chinese shifting nation’s policy towards them. That was made Russians nervous cause they are intuitionally sees detering the Chinese in Asia as a key to Russian national survival. That is why they want their puppet in charge to make him kick China out of Asian oil and gas routes. Holding US military by the balls in A-stan is their secondary mission at best.

The old USSR at the height of their power did not have the logistic capacity to mount and sustain an invasion like that, much less so today’s Russia.

It is not necesarily bad. You should be worried more about our bases in the land of the Turk.

senseless drivel. Russia is a Christian nation defending the west from muslim invaders for 800 years.

You need to be worried about the Turk and the stolen lands that the turk occupies. It is the Turks who hate Israel..and all Christians.

While Obama plays Checkers, Putin plays Chess.

Obozo has already done much to undermine the national security of Israel (not to mention that of the U.S.).

Thanks for the laugh. Who's building Iran's nuke facilities? Russian scientists. And, yes, the Turks suck too.

Russia is a Christian nation??? Huh??? The KGB still runs that place my friend. Communism is rooted in atheism. There might be some Christians living in the land, but that is the land of Gog/Magog. I suggest you read Ezek 38-39 and find out just what Russia is about to embark on!

The Russian people were Christianized 1000 years ago...and it is their faith that helped them survive those horrible years under the Bolsheviks.

I sympathize with you. But isn't that what this Afgan effort began as, unleashing Hell upon those who abetted the 9/11 attackers? The loss of the Afgan airbase will make it all the more difficult to complete the task, assuming we ever get a president willing to loose the hounds.

The Founding Fathers did not want us involved in the affairs of others. Bring everyone back, pull up the drawbridge, and drill here. Be prepared to unleash hell if someone attacked us at home.

I greatly appreciate the amazing job our boys did in Afghanistan. It was a billion to one shot that they were ever going to get Bin Laden. (How KSM didn't die a slow and brutal death is beyond me).

Bin laden probably set the attack in motion, shaved his beard, left beforehand, and is living in a rooftop condo in Tehran. If he was in the Hindu Kush, he's long gone. Bring them home. It was a valiant effort and I am glad they killed hundreds of thousands of Jihadist in theater but Bin Laden ain't coming back.
