More common sense from Buchanan. NATO has as much business on the borders of Russia as the Warsaw Pact would having Mexico as a member.

I personally think the whole thing is a waste of our time and just distracts us from our more important issues right here at home.

We nominated the wrong man in 1992. And we’ve not elected an outstanding president since.
To: cripplecreek
The real dangers we face are domestic and moral, not foreign.
To: Colonel Kangaroo
No, they are both. Especially since both are intertwined.

9/11 wasn’t just a sideshow.

Our nation is collapsing, financially and morally. This is our battle and we are losing.
To: Colonel Kangaroo
Basic cold, hard reality appears to be that the British started WW-II...
To: cripplecreek
Which means it is perfect for a president who needs to distract everyone from his domestic disasters and other foreign disasters. Beware of the coward in power, for he must needs be seen as being manly.

The Ukraine thing is something that a real president would have seen and worked to head off by diplomatic means.
Instead president Candyass sat in the White House sniping at Russia over gay rights.

You can always trust Pat Buchanan to side with America’s adversaries. And this is probably the key factor that prevented him from gaining much traction with the GOP. It’s one thing to understand the other side’s motivations, but quite another to support their interests against America’s. But that’s what Buchanan’s been doing for decades now.

“This is our battle and we are losing.”
It’s the American political character to not recognize a problem until it’s life or death. Until that point domestic squabbling is MUCH more important. What’s still at the top of Obama’s agenda? Obamacare, golf and vacations. (Oh, and anything for blacks, gays, Hispanics, etc.)
This has been okay when we were separated by oceans and months from any danger. Now, danger is just 26 minutes from any position you can name.

1988..(NE lib.) GHWB, set about dismantling (almost) everything RWR did.
His "Thousand point of lights" was his beginning..
(he didn't do much to advance the goals of the Republican Party)

Or realized that doing anything meaningful was more than a tad out of reach and avoid embarrassing himself and the country. But then every time either of his Secretaries of State has opened her/his mouth, the country has lost a step or two on the world stage.

You can always trust Pat Buchanan to side with Americas adversaries. Do you find being an idiot painful?
To: onedoug
If we had not elected asleep at the wheel internationalist meddlers since Reagan, I doubt 9-11 ever happens.
To: skinkinthegrass
Depends on what the goals of the Republican Party were. Judging by the establishment's attack on Reagan back when he challenged Ford, those have not been typically conservative.

Now we hear new calls for Ukraine and Georgia to be brought into NATO. Are these people sane? Five U.S. presidents who faced far more violent actions by a far more dangerous Soviet UnionTruman, Ike, JFK, Johnson, Reaganrefused even to threaten force against Russia for anything east of the Elbe river. These presidents ruled out force during the Berlin Blockade of 1948, the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, and the smashing of Solidarity in Poland in 1981.And I'll bet Palaeo Pat called them traitors and commies and beat the war drums every single time.
I'm not advocating US interference in the Ukraine/Russia impasse; I'm merely pointing out Pat's hypocrisy.
