NATO bombed the mass murdering terrorist Kadaffy out of power with only a tiny fraction of its might. All Russia could do was bitch and whine about it.

Actually the bombing campaign was such a failure it had to be halted. Seems like when you employ multiple countries speaking multiple languages it is a bit difficult to accurately identify targets. NATO was forced to arm terrorists on the ground to finally remove Ghadaffi. And Benghazi was the result.

There are a few that just fall all over themselves when they meet a strong man type, almost like a cult reaction, perhaps it is Putin’s determined homoerotic campaign where he poses both shirtless and in various costumes, as the hero of all kinds of posed photos from space to hunting and horse riding, and heroism, etc.

When you see a large collection of them and the absurdity of them, it isn’t difficult to know what kind of men he was trying to win to devote themselves to him, very impressionable men, hungry for a man to follow.

So if we elected Ted Cruz suddenly you'd stop admiring Putin?

Not about us. It is about Putin. He wont respect any Democrat President. He will play a GOP-E President. He will respect a Reagan type President.

Why is it that every time since Carter that we have had a Democrat in the White House, we end up on verge of a World War with Russia (Clinton - Kosovo, Obama - Ukraine). It is because the Russians wont back down when they know their opponent will. Simple as that. What you want right now is suicidal. But I am sure we will soon hear about mass graves in Ukraine and see images of concentration-like camps.

That’s totally false. We didn’t arm anyone in Libya. If we hadn’t bombed Kadaffy’s forces he’d still be in power today.

Nobody is on the verge of world war with Russia, where do you get these crazy ideas?

You think the world is on the verge of WWIII?

You must have gone nuts during the mid 1980s when we actually were, BEFORE the Russian military empire collapsed.

What is it that you think that Putin wants to have Russia erased in a nuclear holocaust for? What is so important that he wants to launch nuclear weapons?

What on earth are you talking about?

What is it you think I want that is suicidal? Putin to be held responsible by the world for his part is shooting down a civilian airliner? That is not going to cause WW3, not by a long shot. But it may result in the kind of international sanctions that force Putin to stop supporting "separatists" with heavy weapons, training, intelligence, etc, who are attempting to destabilize the Ukraine (because without his boot on the Ukraine, Putin's dream of reassembling some part of the Soviet empire is impossible).

Yup, it seems so. I can maybe see why that might be popular in Russia since they have no real history of democratic governance and have gravitated to the "strong man" type in the past. Perhaps it is all they really know and feels reassuring to them - a macho man type to restore their national pride. It is kinda amusing that Putin has this publicly strong stance against the homo agenda, yet is featured in endless photos that look like he's trying to appeal to the Village People.

For educated American conservatives to fall for this sort of thing is just bizarre.

Here is a man that really knew how to ride and control a horse, an actual, true life cavalryman.

Here is a man that looks uncomfortable on a horse, and a world leader that for some reason is shirtless, and if you notice, all of his horse pictures look like he is walking a horse from the kiddie stable.

You do not remember Kosovo at all ? It it was not for a British officer who disobeyed commands from the Clark Bar, we would have been in a world war against Russia. He was commanded to open fire on the Russians who had occupied the airport ahead of NATO forces. He has already told his story to the public. It is a fact.

If you think Obama is going fire nukes on Russia for any reason, you clearly do not understand our predicament. And the Ukraine gave all its nukes up. Russia has more to fear from Israeli nukes then it does from American nukes. That is how bad our predicament is right now.

We will talk about this again when Obama is removed from office. Until then you have no clue and no chance.

You are very sick people. Suggest professional care at this point. Just as bad as the Putin Lovers who were booted off many years ago. To go back to blaming closet Putin homos on FreeRepublic for your problems. That is really sad.

Sorry, but you are nuts, we are not on the verge of WWIII, Putin is not as insane as you are, and is not wanting for Russia to disappear in nuclear dust.

Russia is weak and and is just trying to get away with what it can, until someone slaps his hand.

This is your own nutty obsession, in your own head.

Well, we can go to Pravda for coverage critical of our clowns and tyrants, and Russians can go to CNN for non-stop coverage of this debacle.
