Dutch was just monkeying around. I'm sure he meant no offense.
Dutch, please use the term jackass instead and no one should object. Heck, it's even the party's symbol so he should feel honored.
Rev, Obama is not "letting" Putin do anything. Putin is doing and Obama is struggling to respond. Russia blindsided America with this. Also Russia is not attacking ISIS at all. They are hitting everyone else. The plan is to wipe out everyone else till it is only the Assad gov. and IS left. Then the "west" will have a choice to make. Per reports at least.
As for this "grasping at straws" I disagree as well. China, Iran, Syria, Iraq (this ignores regional supporters of China and Iran like Belarus and Cambodia) and associated groups does not sound like grasping at straws. Russia is growing in strength and influence.
As for the old Soviet Bloc countries. I agree, the perception of America in countries like Poland, Estonia and Latvia is very good.
Wrong. Obama is letting Russia do some work for once.
Let them spend some money in Syria, and take out some ISIS. Russia is grasping at straws. Our alliance in the old soviet block is VERY strong. I work on the training base here in Germany, and speak to all the different countries that train here.
We are united in showing strength against his little tinkering. We just did a a giant convoy from my area to Estonia. Mostly people were lining up with US flags, and people cheering us all the way. We were greeted as rock stars.
I dont agree. Struggling to respond? What would be a better course of actions? lol. And taking out Assad is not the answer. As bad as he is what awaits to fill that vacuum is probably much worse. There is no blind siding here. Putin is just poking around in a new place because hes shut down everywhere else. Russia doesnt need to be completely feared either. Whats your solution? Seriously? Deny him access? Start a war over Syria? We shouldnt even be in there to begin with. We are watching them closely, as they are us. Its two superpowers puffing up their chest. Only we have a lot more support, and are leading the fight. Do you realize all the troops we've "secretly" put on the boarder with russia. Putin is shut down there, now hes trying somewhere else. big bold responses arent always the best stoked. come on.
We are stronger in the soviet block than really ever before. Bush did some good things in Poland, and Obama has continued to strengthen the ties. We also work very closely with Romania, Czech Republic, and Bulgaria.
Russia ought to be a force on this planet. There's no reason for them not to be.
Same with China.
India might be the next big mover and shaker in the next decade.
This world is full of humans. No reason one nation of the species should be subservient to another. Of course, some nations will needs bigger friends to help them. Hopefully this planet finds a balance that is reasonably fair and acceptable to the majority of humans on it.
What's honestly scary to me is that future generations of Americans pay for the arrogance, cruelty and destruction the U.S. has engaged in with a complete lack of accountability since the onset of the Cold War until today.
