Russia the sleeping giant.
Russia who the west thinks is a broken country is a sleeping giant. Russia has been behind every problem
we have ever had. Central America, Cuba, China, Vietnam, France, Iraq, Iran and many others. They hate us as it is written in Ezekiel 38 and 39. Russ or Tubal Cain, Gog and Magog and all there hoards are just inching up on us. Russia has missiles in the Bering Straights inside the exclusion zone placed there during the Clinton years and still there today. We can not appease this giant with sugar it only helps them to reach there ultimate goal of bringing down the west. President Regan had it down to the mark and that would be only strenth is respected in this world and that means carry a big ass stick. I don't think we can put the monkey back in the box. Starting in the early 60's the ACLU and there evil little pack of wolves has done the damage from the inside and our dear friends in the Kremlin have slow but sure expanded there campaign to diminish the west. We need Reagan for a President now and George Patton leading our armed forces but even that might be to little to late. It is written in Ezekiel that God has a date with the evil forces of Gog and Tubal Cain and HE does not need us to fight that fight for HIM ! Marantha This is a shot of what those communist-socialist think of the USA ! U.S. wasted chance to improve the world: Gorbachev Oct 13, 12:07 PM (ET) BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, who played a key role in ending the Cold War, said the United States had squandered an opportunity to improve global politics after the Cold War, a paper said on Friday. In comments that were among the harshest he has made about the United States, Gorbachev compared U.S. foreign policy to one of the deadliest diseases on the planet -- AIDS. "Today our American friends are suffering from an illness worse than AIDS. And I would say this is the victor's complex," Gorbachev was quoted as saying in an interview with the Netzzeitung. Unable to extricate itself from its Cold War mentality, the United States was playing a dwindling role in world politics, while Russia, China, Brazil, Europe, India and Japan were becoming stronger, Gorbachev said. North Korea, which said on Monday it had successfully completed a nuclear test, was an example. Only China and Russia were in a position to handle Pyongyang, he said. Washington will in future have to act less on its own and get used to a position of diminished importance, he said. "The Americans will have to understand that in future they will have to cooperate and make decisions jointly, instead of just always wanting to give orders," Gorbachev said. He said the United States and other Western countries had missed an opportunity to make the world a better place after the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 ushered in the end of communism. "At that point, the West focused more on its geopolitical interests," Gorbachev said, adding that Western countries had been more interested in cashing in on the "unbridled burst of globalization" that followed the end of the Cold War than in improving the international political climate. |

Except for the fact that it's not "OUR" problem to begin with. When a country is so economically tied to war profiteering as ours has become, that's when national and public interests decline, and it's only the weapons contracts that our citizens fight for, the men in suits leisurely accept victory or defeat, no matter the deaths they've become the primary cause of.
A lot of the wars/conflicts that you've mentioned as Russia being a "problem" were none other than their national support behind their interest groups, that doesn't make them inherently wrong, but it's just like changing United States to Russia in that sentence and coming out with the same thing: countries that use war to support political interest groups. Just because the United States decided to go against the orders of every peace organization internationally to fight these wars doesn't mean its ideas are unique, nor does it mean the United States is the only one "brave" enough to fight these conflicts, it means that the leaders of the time period thought it okay to submit the citizens of their country into places they didn't want to be, their families didn't want them to be, and where the only support was from the tyrants behind the missile launch command buttons. |

Now I'll concede that we are not the only country that's "brave" enough to try and solve the problems of the middle east, but trying to establish a democracy in Iraq IS a never before tried idea and therefore by definition, unique. |

"Our problem" nice try. Tell that to the Jews saved from the Nazis. Tell that to the Taxation without Representation. Tell that to the victims of 9/11. Tell that to thousands that died in the genocide war from Saddam. Liberty and freedom is our fight. If heart ain't in it, get the Hell out or Vote. As a side note that is what Our soldiers signed up for... to fight for the oppressed of the world. Get a Clue |

"What our soldiers signed up for", Do you not realize that most of "our soldiers" are 1. Barely 18, still feeling they're invincible, and no real loss to political standpoint if they are slain? 2. Poor and uneducated citizens who mostly don't know the repercussions of joining the army, and are only there for the money/education benefits? |

So if the 18 year old soldier isn't old enough and/or educated enough to understand what he is doing, then what does that suggest about someone who's even younger? |

Just because some people are uneducated before they join does not mean all are, I made a general statement but I did not mean to say that they all are unaware of the consequences and have no rationale before joining. It also does not mean that someone of a lesser age is necessarily uneducated about the consequences, I don't personally believe you're a proper citizen unless you know and understand the law, not necessarily abiding by it, but by enacting your voting power and through (what should be proper) legislation, you and others who support a common idea (should be able to) pass new laws or revoke old ones that are more suited for the people of the country, which is what the laws are for, not to impede on us. |
