Has Russia gone rogue?
Information revealed last week indicates that it has, and that because of the reckless weakness of Barack Obama, America now faces a neo-Soviet Russian bear primed for aggression, just as in the era of the USSR.
Last week, the spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, announced that Russia is now a vigilante nation. He stated: And if not a single state in the world is capable of admitting the evident facts that Ukrainian authorities have been acting as criminals, Russias Investigative Committee will shoulder this responsibility by opening a criminal case.
o in other words, Russia will act alone to arrest and punish leaders of foreign governments whom it declares guilty of crimes, no matter what the rest of the world may think about it. This from a nation that routinely demands that the U.S. bow to international organizations in places like Syria.
In the Wall Street Journal, seasoned Russia expert Leon Aron of the American Enterprise Institute took a crack at analyzing this new brand of neo-Soviet Russian exceptionalism. He highlighted how Putin has disturbingly offered comments tending to imply the superiority of the Russian race, comments hes been offering the world for years now. Aron feels that Putins recent rhetoric harks back to Russia's two most reactionary rulers: the 19th-century czars Nicholas I and his grandson, Alexander III.

"Russia expert Leon Aron of the American Enterprise Institute"
The man is a NeoCon and AEI is a NeoCon think tank.
Which NeoCon should we listen to, John McCain or Leon Aron? They are all the same.
The NeoCons have never been right about anything and the mess they got us in during the Bush years disqualifies anything the NeoCons think or say.
Best post of the thread.
Eurovision 2014 winner Conchita Wurst is the poster child of Globalism and the sodomite EU.
No wonder Russia has gone rogue.
Treason either way. The EU is just as bent on global control as the Soviets were.
Bump!
“The NeoCons have never been right about anything and the mess they got us in during the Bush years disqualifies anything the NeoCons think or say. “
Peace through Strength is the only deterrence to international tyrants.
In reality it is the isolationists that think they can ignore the reality of evil, that get a hundred million people killed during WWII.
Russian Orthodoxy has been referred to as “Christianity’s dark side”.
State religions & dictatorships often partner together well. The religion justifies the despot’s rule, the despot protects the religion’s monopoly.
Utter nonsense.
With this sham of a prisoner exchange, absolutely.
We are members of NATO, and not because we see Europe as Russia’s “back yard” as you do.
All because the US overthrew the government in Ukraine. We should keep our noses out of other countries affairs.
Have Russia and THE US PRESIDENT Gone Rogue? FIXED AND FIXED AGAIN!
“We are members of NATO, and not because we see Europe as Russias back yard as you do.”
It’s either their “back yard” or it’s World War 3, at least with Putin. Given that, they can have what’s rightfully theirs.
If using the word "rightfully" makes you feel better, then use it. Just remember that others know what the word actually means.
So you are merely expressing fear and a desire to surrender to strong men.
“All because the US overthrew the government in Ukraine.”
You’re living in a fantasy world, not unlike nutjobs AlexJones and RonPaul.
“So you are merely expressing fear and a desire to surrender to strong men.”
...as opposed to starting WW3 in support of a bunch of people that are basically terrorists - then yes.
John McCain tells Ukraine protesters: 'We are here to support your just cause' Dec 2013
Just like Libya and Syria.
