The Cold War is over. Why do we still treat Russia like the Evil Empire? (America's enemy is in DC right now, not Moscow)

What’s crazy is for a time in the 1990’s Russia was offered membership in NATO. The chance for lasting peace was there. Damn shame it didn’t happen.

It would have been sweet to see Russian ships making port of call in the US and being welcomed as friends.

I still think a Chinese play for Siberia will happen before a move on Taiwan. China’s ego is wrapped up in Taiwan but their future is in Siberia.

It’s quite possible to have multiple enemies at the same time. Our worst enemy is the filthy regime in DC, but Russia and China are not far behind (especially the latter, as it has its hook deep into the American elite).

You do realize that since 2014, Ukraine right wing Nazis murdered 14000 Russians and wounded 50,000 others with continuous random artillery shelling on civilian populations in Donbas?

You do realizing the Ukrainians are shooting and torturing Russian POWs that have surrendered?

You do realize OUR government is mostly responsible for all this? Our Deep state and corrupt politicians, George Soros and all those surrounding Obama? Biden, McCain, Linda, Pelosi, Romney, so many others?

I just don’t understand all the flippant comments when there’s so much hate and the suffering it has caused.

You should subscribe to this guy among many:

And news from and commentary from:

There’s a whole lot more that gives a more fair and even commentary, but you have to hunt for them. The simple “Russia bad” Hillary propaganda is where our stolen election and lost freedoms are coming from.

These are probably the days Jesus warned us about when the people will believe lies. The propaganda out there is so thick you can’t btreath.

This war should be a 2 paragraph story on page 3 or page 5, not the 24/7 blockbuster that it is

The people who promote the war, the war industry, also owns part of the media.

No country is headed by saints. Russia is no worse than the US in actions. Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria...

The U.S. is a lot worse.

Exactly, we tried rapprochement, we tried normalizing relations, and even after the Russians elected a new dicator-for-life and started up with their old tricks, Hillary and co. still tried to do a “reset” with them diplomatically, as ineptly as that was handled. It’s not as though the West were the ones determined to keep this animosity going all this time.

“Where did Russia act like we’re the enemy?”

Gee, I dunno, pick any UN Security Council vote for the last 30 years. Whatever side we are on, you’re almost guaranteed find Russia and their butt buddy China on the other side.

“Maybe Russia should have just flown over and dropped a bunch of bombs on Ukraine like Clinton did in Yugoslavia”

Maybe you’ve mistaken this for a forum of Clinton supporters who might find this line of argument convincing.

Because it is, judging by its propaganda machine, which is just as wretchedly disgusting, if not worse due to its better planning, than that of our Democrats. Russia is still aligned with Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Nicaragua’s Sandinistas (yes, they are back), FARC, Cuba’s communist dictatorship, Venezuela’s communist dictatorship, you name it; it has not distanced itself from any of them. And, it just invaded a harmless country that would never do the same to Russia.
No real opposition leader is going to win the election in Russia...It is exactly what Nancy Pelosi wants our government to be.

You really like to jump to retarded conclusions don’t you? Who said it was new to me? You did, but I didn’t, ya retard. You’ve got the reading comprehension skills of a 1st grader and most of them can outdo you.

YOU posted “So are the democrats.”, that they were enemies of America too, as if that was some unknown that felt needed to be stated. What’s your next post, it’ll get hot this summer?
