“The military of 100 years ago doesn’t compare with today.”

Well, duh. Which makes your comment all the more meaningless.

“Respect Russia, as you would want to be respected.”

I respect those who deserve it.

“If having military assets in Cuba was unacceptable, then so is having military assets near Russia.”

We had no issue with the Soviets having general assets in Cuba; we had an issue with the Soviets installing OFFENSIVE nuclear missiles in Cuba with the range to strike some 90% of the continental US. In any event, EVERY country which borders another country has military assets of some kind near that other country. So, again, your comment is meaningless.

“I lump some when appropro. Lumping Democrats, socialist, and and liberals as one is appropro.”

Which says a lot about you. While you may not like those respective mindsets and ideologies, they are not in and of themselves the same. I have no problem with TRUE liberals (i.e., classic liberals), as it was classic liberalism that influenced and motivated many of our founding fathers. Hell, our constitution (not yours, as you are not an American) was based on classic liberalism.

“It’s you who has to come to terms as to who liberals are these days.”

Again, you confuse liberalism with leftism and broad-brush both. I have utter contempt for socialism; and I despise leftists. But you have fallen for the typical leftist tactic of co-opting the language; which means you are playing THEIR game, by THEIR rules. You have already surrendered to them.

No. It makes my comment all the more meaningful. 100 years ago, our weaponry was not a threat to their existence, but it is now. Now, we can wipe them out in an instance and, according to you, they are supposed to put up with the possibility of us wiping them out unprovoked while they are not allowed to respond.

Apparently, Russian people are not worthy of respect, because they exist.

Right. You had a problem with Russia doing what we are doing to them right now.

There is no difference between liberalism and socialism. The only true liberal, since the 1920’s have been hardcore socialists. No matter how much liberals claim to believe in freedom, they believe in having first access to your time and resources for their personal benefit.

There is no confusion on my part, you’re just way behind the times of who liberals are. They don’t vote for socialism because they aren’t socialist. They vote for who they are and not one of them votes for personal freedom and responsibility.

You’re right, I have accepted that liberalism no longer means liberalism because I refuse to feed the beast. I let people know who liberals are, so they have a chance to not feed the beast either.
