For all of Romney’s faults, he correctly named Russia as our biggest threat.
Bigger than China.
Bigger than Islam.
We didn’t want Russian missiles in Cuba. Why should Russia tolerate US missiles in the Ukraine?
Obama: “Hey, Joe, the ‘80s called, they want their foreign policy back.”
“For all of Romney’s faults, he correctly named Russia as our biggest threat.
Bigger than China.
Bigger than Islam.”
No offense, but that isn’t the case at all. At most Russia is an annoyance. If they invade Ukraine it’s bad news for the locals but doesn’t effect us at all.
China and Islam have long term plans to destroy us. Plans that we’ve been unable to stop making steady progress.
Putin made an offer to allow Ukraine to be a neutral buffer country between Russia and Western Europe. All we had to do was say that Ukraine would never be admitted to NATO. We refused that deal and since then Russia took Crimea and is increasing its hold on Eastern Ukraine.
The World would be a safer place if we had Russia as a friend rather than pushing them into allegiances with Iran and China.
I don’t think I can agree. I AM strongly anti-Putin, but Russia’s economy is weak. Oil is the only thing they can export. They don’t have enough money to modernize their military. Their weapon systems are 20 years behind the West. For example, they still can’t mass-produce AESA radars for their fighter jets.
China, on the other hand, seems to be getting stronger.
Russia wouldn’t be able to defeat an enemy of the size of Poland who systematically builds its military and is equipped with the most advanced Western weapon systems without using nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, Ukraine’s military is equipped with outdated weapons. Their air defense is especially weak.
Enjoy the China-Russia military alliance, made by people who think like you.
How’s that? Are they our economic competitor? Are they our ideological foe? Their oligarchs want to vacation in France, educate their kids at Harvards and Princetons, the whole country wants to live either in the West, or like in the West. Do they need our resources? Hell no, they have so much of that that they sell everything to the world. Do they need our territory? Just look at the map, they don’t know what to do with theirs!
Bigger threat than China and Islam? You are out of you mind, sir..
