nations willing to use force will be the ones that forge world events in the 21st century.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thanks to Obama and his merry band of progressive fools, the country is in a very dangerous place. The U.S. is clearly losing its grip in the world. Obama talks about “cost” and “consequences” for other countries but we too are facing gravely serious foreign policy and military challenges owing to the coterie of rank amateurs running wild in the White House.

If and when adults ever return to lead this country, they’re going to have a monumental amount of clean up work to do. The national mess is growing by the day.

Putin “invaded” a tiny territory where he already had a military base and thousands of troops stationed. He still lost control of the whole rest of Ukriane. He’s a failure and a joke. Last year he controlled the whole Ukraine and now he only has on tiny little part of it. Is that supposed to make him some kind of genius? He hasn’t gotten the upper hand on the west at all. He’s isolated himself and his genocidal regime. Nobody gives a crap about Crimea. Russia’s naval power in the Black Sea is limited. Their main naval focus is on the Pacific. Crimea is a sideshow.

I remember when the MSM sighed a huge sigh of relief when their pick for POTUS picked Joe Biden for V.P. slot because the one area the world's smartest guy with the best pant crease did not have any expertise in was foreign policy...

In their eyes the POTUS team was complete...world's smartest guy with the support and guidance of Joe Biden legendary expertise...

They were peeing in their panties with joy that team Obama would remake the world after GW Bush according to them just about destroyed it...

We are now as weak and feckless as a country because of Obama/Clinton/Kerry/Biden as we have ever been...

Can't wait to hear the MSM response when a jihadist nuke goes off in a major US city...of course it will be GW Bush's fault...

As I've posted on other threads, the pesudointellectuals who have come into power today may claim to be "intellectuals," but they are ignorant of the lessons of the history of civilization.

They are products of a deliberately "dumbed-down" citizenry by those who wished to enslave their minds to a counterfeit set of ideas.

That was not the Founders' plan for America. They expected that the ideas of liberty would be passed from generation to generation, in order that the light of liberty, once kindled, would remain bright.

Instead, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America," because of those who have called themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving.

Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which an 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read.

This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.

Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America?

Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play. In many ways, that philosophy has more in common with Putin's world view than with that of the truly revolutionary views of America's Founders.

In other words, so-called "progressives" must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals, thereby accruing more coercive power for themselves.

Nonsense! “Children” implies innocence or naivety. The scumbags who participate in Western politics know full well the sort of diabolical malfeasance they are fomenting.

Not children, criminals. And dangerous ones at that.

let me get this straight. in order to be “adult” — as opposed to “childish” — the US has to go to war against Russia?

I think the adult thing to do is stop spending money we don’t have on sideshow foreign disputes that don’t concern us and have no impact on our national security.

If you disagree, and think we need to send money and arms to Ukraine, please don’t post any complaints about our national debt

In addition to all this, China is watching.
Iran is watching. Crazy jihadists are watching.

The last time the world perceived that we had a weak president we got the 9/11 attack on NYC.

Thanks dimrats and your media for putting all of us in such a seriously vulnerable position. Hope they get their proper reward someday.
