If Russia would restore Constantinople, I’m all for the Russians in that fight.
Good thought. Me, too.
No they won’t. The hysteria to support these parasites has worn out.
They don’t have the logistics even if they had the desire, and they have their hands full with their own Moslems. Why should they take on the ones the EU has inserted into their own nations too?
Smedley Butler nailed it, but pretended near war in perpetuity is an even better racket than actual war.
The newest war stirrings have been based on Russian ethnicity issues. The Bear is still pretty ferocious about that.
However, this factor will, I believe, slowly fade out over the years.
Good point about Moslems being a poison pill.
Hungary has Moslems, they also get neo-Nazis who team up with them, and policy all over Europe respect no-go zones. Russia has Moslems, they make a gorilla cookie out of their face every now and then to keep them from getting uppity. They don’t play footsie. Russian-occupied Eastern Europe might have a few things to say for itself, if the alternative is Islamo-nazi occupied Prague, Budapest and Warsaw.
Agree - without America there would be no NATO. I have never considered myself an isolationist and believe America needs to be plugged into the world. However, I believe we should pay far less than we do for the defense of others and we should not have nearly as many soldiers stationed overseas as we do.
Yeah I see what you mean. Might be inviting a second Crusade, this time under the Orthodox not the Catholics....

You are exactly right.
And now the US Military is basically a tool to protect the interests of, and further the agenda, of the New World Order.
Our own military is being used to diminish our sovereignty.
But if Trump makes it as president... I’d wonder what he and Putin might try to cook up. It might not look very nice for the Moose, so to speak.
History changes friends into enemies and vice versa.
Japan is quite nice today, and nobody could have expected that in the early 20th century.
I could envision several scenarios of “Russia as US friend.” One problem the US has is its need for Middle East oil which means it has to pussyfoot around Muslims. If Russia was able to step up to the plate and furnish oil in the place of restive Moslem territories, the US would have less need to appease those gorilla guerrillas.
The fracture lines of NATO are already showing, and it shall not be pretty when the final rupture comes.
Most of the European members are already compromised, and with the Current Occupant already at paralysis of analysis, not much of anything shall be done.
So what will the last Trump have for its fate, so to speak (pun intended)
Russia is bombing ISIS terrorists, who are clients of Turkey. Turkey is upset about this, and invokes NATO to get the Russians to stop killing terrorists.
Why don’t we just bomb Turkey? That would make more sense.
Turkey is still part of NATO?
Whoever will be president, it wouldn’t make sense to be adversarial towards Russia at this time.
Russia’s circumstances have changed, and gratuitous enmity doesn’t need to be kept although wariness should be kept.
The things that bother the Bear today aren’t necessarily what bothered the Bear in yesteryear. It needed an excuse to let go of the boondoggle that was the USSR.
To everyone’s sorrow.
It's time we figured out who the real enemy is.
NATO, yes - but not the EU, and they are pushing quite fiercely to be admitted.
