Hey, Obama is not some weak, mamby pamby sissy here. He’ll do alot more than just show concern.

If Putin doesn’t stop, Obama will send a formal letter of protest. No games, no screwing around. And he’ll send it certified too buddy, just to show he’s serious.

Provide me one single example of a duplicated post and I’ll pretend you’ve a good reason to ask such an inane question. Otherwise, deal with the world you live in and the facts as they are.

The Evil Empire was a very apt description. These idiots only understood the brute force that Reagan brought to bear upon them.
Nothing else works on them.

Just thinking out loud here (not literally) but did any Soviet ever share nukes or nuclear capability with another country? I mean the ones in Cuba were under Soviet control. The nuclear weapon he’s helping the Iranians with are not going to be under Russian control. I believe too many people underestimate just how dangerous Putinism is.

I hope so. It’s part of the joy of being a free man that I upset those who favor tyranny. I’ve done it in lots of police states and war zones. It comes with the turf, and most of these people cannot try to kill me.

I’m sure you remember how much that made the defenders of the Soviet Union angry too. By the way, do you recall that during World War II Stalin embrace Russianism, Nationalism, and even controlled Russian Christian Orthodoxy to inspire the Russian people? I remember reading how he did this to dupe the Russian people. Now, we’ve a clownish Mussolini type claiming he’s all about the Christian faith - yet stopping no abortions - doing the same demagogue routine. I speak of course of flabby man boobs Putin, who is as Christian as Obama was when he went to the Reverend Wright’s Church.
