Putin warns Americans: You're being distracted!
You’re right. On second thought, I would take that sentence back.
This guy needs someone to sit down eye to eye with him and explain to him that he isnt the though guy he thinks he is, and that if he is really serious about the mid east, he might find it easier to work with us instead of for his own personal gains.
By "this guy," do you mean Putin? The guy with a black belt in karate, who is in charge of a nuclear-capable warfighting military, with space assets and KGB cold war experience? You want to tell HIM he's not as tough as he thinks he is, when WE have frigging limp-wristed OBAMA in charge here, and politically correct women in our combat units, and obstericians on our aircraft carriers, and Muslims running whatever parts of our government Hillary hasn't sold off yet?
Okay... so what's your plan to humble him?
I ignore that person’s constant spam of how Russia is pure evil and wants to take over the world.
Put “Islam” in that sentence instead of Russia and it would be correct.
If you were the leader of Russia, would you have done any less? Our “Leaders” are to blame, not Putin.

If "by less" you mean NOT invade my neighbors, then absolutely I would have done less. I'm not a power hungry SOB out to restore the evil empire that was the Soviet Union.
Syria and the Assad family have been Russia’s allies since 1971. Who would believe that Russia would sit back quietly and watch their Syrian assets get overthrown? Well apparently fools like Obama and Hillary, who have been ginning up their own private war in Syria for several years with the predictable result. Why we should then let their undeclared Syrian war pull us into a much more dangerous war with Russia is a mystery I’ve yet to hear explained.
The Russian “show of force” in the English Channel is them sending their lone aircraft carrier and its escorts to reinforce the ten warships that they already have sitting off of Syria. AFAIK Russia gets to use international waters like everyone else. I’d be a lot less worried about a 1985 vintage carrier, a battle cruiser and two destroyers than I would about Russia’s missile subs that we don’t see.
Mobile nukes on the border of Poland- meaning that the missiles are in Russia. I’m not aware of Russia ever having let us tell them where they get to place their hardware inside their own borders. And I doubt that we ask their permission on where we get to post our own.
Russia’s nationwide civil emergency exercise- Putin evidently is a master showman to get so many people all worked up over his Chinese Fire Drill.
While those can be seen as demonstrations of force by Russia I fail to see how even a single one of them is a direct challenge to the United States, although Hillary and her neocon pets certainly would like the American public to take the bait.
[ I also think Yellen and the elites may collapse the financial system if Trump wins. ]
Yes, I think so. Absolutely.
Your inability to recognize international communications in any form other than certified communiques is remarkable. Thanks for sharing.
Posting while drunk again I see.
Ya that guy. No different than what Reagan dealt with...
Refreshing to see a sense of humor, although I am certainly
not making light of our current
political atmosphere. I sent my ballot in today and am hoping
it will help in turning the entire state of New Mexico red.
(Instead of just the lower half)
Go Trump!!!
P.S. I actually have one of those t-shirts....
[P.S. I actually have one of those t-shirts....]
That’s awesome!
GO TRUMP!!!!
I expect more “internet problems” right on up to the election.
Today may have just been a dry run.
Wallace asked HRottenC in the last debate what she would do if Russian jet fighters violated her “no fly zone”? Shoot them down? She never answered.
Everyone who disagrees with you is drunk. Don't you understand that yet? Billions of drunks, all staggering around your lone island is sane sobriety, the Island of Literalness, where nothing stands for anything else and international politics is as plain and straightforward as Webster's dictionary.
We need much more. We need a true leader. There have been times when I’ve gone out on a limb in wishing (GASP) we might be able to trade Putin for what we’ve found shackled to our leg. Putin, it appears, cares more for his country and values more than the effigy in our oo does for the US of A. This has been shown far more often than not in the way he continues to treat the unwashed peasants over which he ‘rules’. Never ceasing to attempt to kill us by whatever means he finds necessary. It was believed if the black soul should find a chair in the oo, we would never see the exit. I fear that might deem to be so. The administration works to find a way and plans continue to make it so.
Most understand that the so called ‘Arab Spring” was nothing more than regime change tactics to unseat elected leaders fro office and replace the with ore agreeable leaders to the Globalist agenda.
That said Syria was targeted in the planning .....Putins not stupid, there comes a time when one pushes that bear to far and his line was drawn as soon as Obama orchestrated the chemical attack in Syria so that he could use it as an excuse to enter the US into that war....because the terrorists weren’t getting the job done of toppling Assad as Hillary/Obama wanted... further it was proven and well documented that the terrorists used the chemical weapons, and who was supplying the terrorists? We know that as well.
Unfortunately the only people calling Russia the evil instigator are those who ONLY listen to our Government operated media so they never get the truth....they are supporting Hillary’s and the Globalist agenda to topple and replace regimes who won’t cooperate with the Global Agenda..
But with that let me also say that Journalists who have met with other International leaders regarding the truth can’t publish what they would because of the Gov. control of our media.....or they would loose their jobs.
On the other hand Putin has publicly stated he is not an advocate for the Assad Government nor of Assad....rather when Russia entered the Syrian War Egypt wasn't stable, nor Libya, Yemin, Tunsia, Iraq, nor Afghanistan....pretty much the entire ME was unstable, as predicted by many would happen,.....So why would any expect Putin would sit and watch the same thing happen to Syria?
It just seems like Putin has to go around and constantly mop up the toppled regimes of terrorists after Hillary and Obama
topple them by supporting proxy use of terrorists and or supplying the Muslim brotherhood or Saudi in doing so.
He's fighting terrorism while their using them......fro the get-go Assad made clear the war was escalating because of Islamic terrorists entering the country.....and that because of the deranged minds of the Islamists who believe Syria war would fulfill their Estagolical Dreams...and which the Muslim Brotherhood promotes heavily knowing it will incite fighters to go there. Putin's not going to let Syria go into the hands of the Islamists as we've seen happen in many other nations from the so called Arab Spring.....he's got enough to contend with them in his own country....and the conflicts with in his other border countries.
All very good points - and I remember your wonderful reporting during the uprising against Morsi in Egypt.
I get ME and Ukraine news from a site on which someone posts from international news and gets it translated. The BS “news” about Ukraine is insanity, you and IIRC maybe some others, did a great job on FR. Hopefully my brain remembers correctly. I never realized when I was younger that the brain goes a bit wonky in the memory department with age!
This is one of the Trump positions I like the best - no unnecessary and WRONG foreign wars, interfering in other governments and the like. Soooo sick of it.
