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 1658 Views
i like obama and even i think that was dumb of him. *NM* temeraire - 01/03/2014 05:24:39 AM 633 Views
yep yep. why do you hate on Kerry, though ? *NM* AgentApple - 01/03/2014 08:11:52 AM 524 Views
He's a useless asshat. *NM* Tom - 01/03/2014 04:14:54 PM 553 Views
He's not the only lame duck in this, though. DomA - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 1215 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. Legolas - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 1106 Views
It's always more complicated... DomA - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 1069 Views
Yes yes yes. This. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 981 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. Legolas - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 993 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? Tom - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 1204 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? Legolas - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 1062 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 1069 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 1034 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 1047 Views
You do? Why? Legolas - 02/03/2014 03:21:56 PM 1148 Views
As with most analysis at the Guardian, I think it's wrong. Tom - 02/03/2014 05:00:20 PM 1049 Views
This one from a former advisor of Reagan-Bush might be closer to your views DomA - 05/03/2014 09:01:13 PM 1268 Views
" la Crimée vaut bien un tiramisu" - I liked that. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:06:55 PM 1098 Views
Yeah, I laughed reading that too. The original piece in English was probably better... DomA - 06/03/2014 02:08:03 AM 1071 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 999 Views
its going to be hard to find support from the West MrFarstrider - 01/03/2014 06:37:15 PM 1023 Views
Well, no one in Europe or the US has any direct interest here. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:13:36 PM 941 Views
Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 921 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* ironclad - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 551 Views
So what's your plan of action? Jay Sherman - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 997 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 568 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) The Shrike - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 1057 Views
Lack of space in a subject line that was the entire message. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:21:49 PM 993 Views
I watch дождь via etvnet.com. Lovely site for all Russian TV. The Shrike - 04/03/2014 08:23:58 PM 995 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 964 Views
Of course we do random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 1016 Views
Wrong. Tom - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 940 Views
that ignores the point random thoughts - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 1211 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 1006 Views
Re: No, it doesn't. random thoughts - 06/03/2014 06:22:32 PM 1043 Views
Yes, the US violated the agreement. Tom - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 1114 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 1021 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 1050 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 1001 Views
Yes, and we signed the UN Charter, but invaded Kosovo anyway. Your point? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:10:33 PM 967 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 961 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? random thoughts - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 955 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. Tom - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 950 Views
More like the 80s random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 1001 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 946 Views
in this case no it doesn't. random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 938 Views
Right...do you understand how stupid that made you sound? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:11:34 PM 966 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 1022 Views
The junk they used in Chechnya was laughable... everynametaken - 16/03/2014 01:51:28 AM 1145 Views
Its a great time to throw some missiles in Poland MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 03:43:24 AM 1061 Views
Call me crazy, but I like this idea! MonCul - 04/03/2014 12:31:07 PM 1143 Views
There are no longer two super powers *NM* random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 545 Views
Under Obama, it would seem there are none. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 06:15:27 PM 511 Views
at Poland *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 08:09:14 PM 531 Views
In case you're not familiar with BMD MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 11:13:06 PM 1025 Views
I know what you're talking about, I was just kidding around *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/03/2014 11:41:20 PM 539 Views
*NM* MrFarstrider - 05/03/2014 12:38:54 AM 541 Views
*NM* ßelals Girl - 05/03/2014 01:00:57 AM 528 Views
Ron Paul, interestingly enough, agrees with me. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:38:44 PM 963 Views
