There are no longer two super powers *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM

View original postNow would be a great time for President Obama to admit that two superpowers aren't going to go to war to stop the other from doing something. And in that spirit, he should go back to a very forward leaning posture with placing ballistic missile defense systems in Poland contrary to Russia's protests. The Russians really don't have a leg to stand on, especially now that they have ostracized themselves politically. Plus, with Russia invading neighbor states, its a great time to get global support for setting up a shield between Europe and Russia.

Don't Make me Laugh, Mr. Obama Tom - 01/03/2014 03:14:50 AM 1530 Views
i like obama and even i think that was dumb of him. *NM* temeraire - 01/03/2014 05:24:39 AM 569 Views
yep yep. why do you hate on Kerry, though ? *NM* AgentApple - 01/03/2014 08:11:52 AM 463 Views
He's a useless asshat. *NM* Tom - 01/03/2014 04:14:54 PM 478 Views
He's not the only lame duck in this, though. DomA - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 1079 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. Legolas - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 949 Views
It's always more complicated... DomA - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 939 Views
Yes yes yes. This. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 852 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. Legolas - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 872 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? Tom - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 1059 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? Legolas - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 921 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 935 Views
Just because there's an article in Russian doesn't mean there has to be one in English. Legolas - 02/03/2014 11:21:25 AM 880 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 925 Views
You do? Why? Legolas - 02/03/2014 03:21:56 PM 1015 Views
As with most analysis at the Guardian, I think it's wrong. Tom - 02/03/2014 05:00:20 PM 927 Views
This one from a former advisor of Reagan-Bush might be closer to your views DomA - 05/03/2014 09:01:13 PM 1116 Views
" la Crimée vaut bien un tiramisu" - I liked that. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:06:55 PM 944 Views
Yeah, I laughed reading that too. The original piece in English was probably better... DomA - 06/03/2014 02:08:03 AM 940 Views
I don't think it's limited to Crimea. They will likely occupy Eastern Ukraine as well. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:08:56 PM 882 Views
its going to be hard to find support from the West MrFarstrider - 01/03/2014 06:37:15 PM 897 Views
Well, no one in Europe or the US has any direct interest here. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:13:36 PM 818 Views
Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 804 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* ironclad - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 495 Views
So what's your plan of action? Jay Sherman - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 885 Views
My plan of action is to let Putin have Ukraine. We have no interests there. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 01:29:45 AM 504 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) The Shrike - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 931 Views
Lack of space in a subject line that was the entire message. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:21:49 PM 882 Views
I watch дождь via etvnet.com. Lovely site for all Russian TV. The Shrike - 04/03/2014 08:23:58 PM 868 Views
I like their criticism of Putin generally, but I don't buy the "enemy of my enemy" position. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:39:15 PM 837 Views
Of course we do random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 904 Views
Wrong. Tom - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 814 Views
that ignores the point random thoughts - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 1073 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 859 Views
Re: No, it doesn't. random thoughts - 06/03/2014 06:22:32 PM 916 Views
Yes, the US violated the agreement. Tom - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 969 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 884 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 914 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 856 Views
Yes, and we signed the UN Charter, but invaded Kosovo anyway. Your point? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:10:33 PM 827 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 843 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? random thoughts - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 840 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. Tom - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 815 Views
More like the 80s random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 871 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 819 Views
in this case no it doesn't. random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 813 Views
Right...do you understand how stupid that made you sound? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:11:34 PM 823 Views
Or alternatively, it made him sound as someone who was just referring to something else than you. Legolas - 10/03/2014 08:14:00 PM 875 Views
The junk they used in Chechnya was laughable... everynametaken - 16/03/2014 01:51:28 AM 998 Views
Its a great time to throw some missiles in Poland MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 03:43:24 AM 930 Views
Call me crazy, but I like this idea! MonCul - 04/03/2014 12:31:07 PM 1025 Views
There are no longer two super powers *NM* random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 471 Views
Under Obama, it would seem there are none. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 06:15:27 PM 445 Views
at Poland *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 08:09:14 PM 468 Views
In case you're not familiar with BMD MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 11:13:06 PM 906 Views
I know what you're talking about, I was just kidding around *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 11:41:20 PM 473 Views
*NM* MrFarstrider - 05/03/2014 12:38:54 AM 476 Views
*NM* ßelals Girl - 05/03/2014 01:00:57 AM 465 Views
Ron Paul, interestingly enough, agrees with me. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:38:44 PM 853 Views
