Why would Russia want to join NATO and start taking orders from the US? Russia is much the wiser to defend itself than to rely on NATO. It would never survive. Consider public opinion and reading all the stuck in the mud Russia bashing being posted on FR and world wide.

They don't deserve it. They left east Europe,dumped communism, became a democracy only to have a country on it's border having yearly Nazi parades.

The politicians in Brussels destroyed Yugoslavia which was taking on their Islamists. What did Milosevic ever do to us, to die a prisoner for taking on the Islamists in his country?

The hoops you have to jump through to join NATO, like embracing homosexuality, same sex marriage and other anti conservative values. The ideology of the west is headed the wrong way. I see Russia as a balance to it all.

Would you happen to have a list of 5 ways Nazis are different from and worse than Commies?

Thanks, 'cause I can't think of one.

I don't accept the premise of your question. Russia today is not a bunch of commies. Hasn’t been for 30 years, where have you been?

[GeronL]

So now Tsar Putin has a choice to make. The whole world now sees Russia as an aggressor, when formerly they thought Russia was trying to improve itself.

He has to decide whether or not he thinks the old Soviet days were better days

[GeronL]

Russia would leave them alone the same way they left Georgia and Ukraine alone and threatening to leave Kazakhstan alone.

If they leave NATO, they are going to be Russian vassals immediately

[RaveOn]

Seriously, what happens between Ukraine and Russia isn’t our business. Let the wonderful EU handle it since they’re so great. We should keep our noses out of it.

[GeronL]

belligerant NATO?

How many countries is NATO invading right now?

[GeronL]

I think Putin and Obama are in cahoots personally

[GeronL]

Russia is not “defending” itself when it invades sovereign countries

[RaveOn]

“How many countries is NATO invading right now?”

Uh ... Ukraine?

[GeronL]

Government owned industries, government owned media and a dictator-like strongman ruler....

yeah, not commies... lol

[Kozak]

Well Lithuanian Latvia and Estonia are full of Fascists too...

One word of advice about the Borscht Brigade, Todd. They don't care for the truth.

There is a familiar solution to this, too. A few days ago, Alexander Dugin, an extreme nationalist whose views have helped shape those of the Russian president, issued an extraordinary statement. “Ukraine must be cleansed of idiots,” he wrote—and then called for the “genocide” of the “race of bastards.”

With what, diplomats? Shut up.

[GeronL]

NATO has invaded Ukraine? lolz

[GeronL]

Kazakhstan now considering leaving the Eurasian Union because of Putin’s threats.

“With what, diplomats? Shut up.”

Shut up, he explained. Classic! You are obviously an expert on diplomacy.

You’re also a naieve fool if you don’t think Kiev is already overflowing with NATO military advisors and Academy / Xi / Blackwater mercenaries.

“Putin has started WWIII and this little punk thinks Russia will survive.”

Russia's current leadership is more likely to survive than a nation of morons electing an apostate Muslim (Indonesian Sunni denomination)to occupy the WH.

Amazes me that some folks on this site think that Putin is more incompetent then your typical Obama/DemocRAT voter!

Why do you assume I was talking about Russians? Hmmmm.

Be sure to ping me when you come up with your list of 5. Thanks!

I heard that George Soros was spotted piloting a APC during the Independence Day parade in Kiev.

The Blackwater mercenaries are just there for show, and to distract diplomatic "experts" such as yourself from the Monasanto Imperial Guard.
