A Russian victory is an Iranian victory. Moscow and Tehran have formed a military bloc with the aim of defeating the United States and its allies in the Middle East, Europe, and around the world. Russian and Iranian military forces have been fighting alongside one another in Syria for nearly a decade.

Look at a map Chad. We wouldn't be able to see it with our own eyes if it was a myth.
Wake up and admit that they begged to be admitted for what they could get from Uncle Sugar! NATO should have been disbanded in 1991 when we won The Cold War.

On June 21, 1966, France made the somewhat shocking move to withdraw its troops from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This decision led by French president Charles de Gaulle complicated relations between the U.S. and Europe amidst clashing American and Communist spheres of influence.

Well said.
Even Churchill could not have said it any better!
OK you two! You have outed yourselves. I had to Google the name Felix Dzerzhinsky to find out that he was an obscure Bolshevik from the Russian Revolution and died in 1926.
I don't give a rat's azz about your petty foreign grudges. No American would or should know the name Felix Dzerzhinsky. Stop it! Just stop it! I don't care about your thousand year grudge. Even the Hatfields and McCoys get along with each other nowadays.
“George Washington warned our young nation about “foreign entanglements” after he had unpleasant entanglements with the French!

Do I have to remind you that the American constitution was in large parts copied and pasted from French revolutionary values, practices and theories?
So, Russia’s neighbors were right to want to join NATO? Or not?
The Battle of King’s Mountain proved fatal for Major Ferguson as he was shot from his horse and dragged to the Rebel side by his stirrup. When approached for surrender, he pulled his pistol and shot a Patriot Rebel. He was shot eight times by Rebel soldiers and later buried in an unmarked grave.
I had forgotten that as well, to be honest. I just remembered that my dad was mad as a wet hen at de Gaulle. I was totally
not interested in what was going on in the world at that time. It was summer time and time to have fun with the neighborhood kids at the community pool and talking with the girls in their bathing suits. So, for me at that time, it was more of a whatever moment.
You have won some sort of prize for the longest “straw man” post I’ve yet seen on FR. Congratulations! I’m not even going to explain, because it would go right past you, but others who live in the REAL reality will get it. Toodle-oo.
Whatever, idiot who thinks of himself as a genius. Go back to reading your fiction & propaganda.
That is a lie.
James Madison began writing the Constitution in early 1787, while preparing for the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Madison was a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1780-83 and 1787-88, and his "Notes of Debates in the Continental Congress" provides information about Congress's activities leading up to the Constitution.Our Constitution was ratified in 1788 and went into effect in 1789.
Then there is this about the French Constitution.
The French created the first written constitution of France, the Constitution of 1791, during the French Revolution. The National Assembly drafted the constitution throughout 1790, with many committees formed to consider issues related to citizenship, monarchy, and more. The constitution was inspired by Enlightenment political theorists like John Jacques Rousseau and Baron de Montesquieu, as well as the recently drafted United States Constitution. King Louis XVI accepted the constitution in September 1791, ending the absolute monarchy and establishing a constitutional monarchy.A Comparison of Constitutionalism in France and the United States
The twin traumas of revolution and post-revolutionary turmoil gave birth to new political societies in both the United States and France. New political understandings were embodied in institutional arrangements and in legal conceptions associated with certain foundational texts-the Constitution in the United States and the Code civil in France. As a result, constitutionalism took deep roots in the United States, but did not do so in France. It is only recently, as the political heritage and conceptual categories of the Revolution fade in importance, that ideas usually associated with constitutional government, like judicial review of legislation and the limitation of executive power by courts pursuant to substantive constitutional standards, have begun to make much actual headway in France. The long resistance of French society to constitutional government attests to the perspicacity of Montesquieu and Rousseau who both regarded institutional and legal understandings established at the birth of political societies as formative and difficult, if not impossible, to alter subsequently.276
If you Gurgled the name you know what his role in the early years of the Communist repression of Russia was. For those who haven't, "Iron Felix" was the Bolshevik founder of the Soviet secret police, first known as Cheka and later as the OGPU, ultimately the KGB.
Not exactly obscure. He carried out the "Red Terror" to destroy all opposition to Lenin, (which was much more than most people know). No-one knows how many people were summarily executed, but it was well over a million. Simultaneously he commanded the Bolshevik genocide against the Cossacks.
This is the guy that Putin is putting back on a pedestal in front of the KGB (now SVR) building in Moscow. A mass murderer. Nice.
Well said.
“It was our Globalist warmongers that pushed NATO up to Russia’s border.”
Yes indeed. I remember as a child hearing about how NATO forces invaded one former Warsaw Pact country after another! The NATO war machine relentlessly bombed the Eastern European countries until one after another they surrendered to NATO domination.
Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Talinn, they all fell before the unstoppable might of NATO only to be stopped by the brave Russians right on the doorstep of Russia itself!
How the Russians ever managed to stop the mighty armies of NATO as they pushed towards Russia’s borders remains a mystery.
Oh wait? What’s that you say? NATO forces never did any such thing and in fact the former Warsaw Pact countries applied for NATO membership and were politely accepted? No one died? No NATO armies ever ‘pushed up to Russia’s border’?
Then why do you make it out like NATO ‘invaded’ Eastern Europe when in fact Eastern Europe joined NATO?
Hmmm?
Where on a map will I see a nation forced or coerced into joining NATO?
To paraphrase somebody famous: You may not be interested in reality, but reality is interested in you.
They would have been better off not to considering what our government did in Libya Egypt and trued to do in Syria not to mention the Maidan Coup.
But you still didn’t point out where I said that they were.
Please do so.
They’d have been better off trusting Russia than NATO?
“Tryst neither” is the option I stated.
Reading is fundamental.
