Libya was a mistake (even though it was superbly executed compared to Iraq). But lets be clear, you have repeatedly defended Putin, pushed for less sanctions and more rewards when Russia is actually a WORSE actor than Iran by several orders of magnitude. They are not abiding by any agreements. Iran is on the verge of being a democracy, Russia is a shameless oligarchy controlled by a balding, saggy-titted loser who has himself stolen 200 billion from the Russian economy.
The Sunni powers are the worst players in the Middle East. Period.
That you blame NATO for pushing back against Russia (which many have rightly said is a worse enemy than ISIS) is simply an indictment of your anti-American allegiance. And that you want the good behavior to come to Russia, without reforms from Russia, is akin to fellatio on Putin.
Notice how you cannot lay out a point by point refutation of my points -because the points are dead certain correct so you launch into a rant.
You conflate US/NATO/Russian relations with "being an enemy like ISIS" completely missing the concept that
Russia is a nation state with whom we have diplomatic relations, while ISIS is just a terrorist army/state.
Libya was a mistake (even though it was superbly executed compared to Iraq).
^ pure Hillaryism. she called it "smart power".
It destroyed a state with a high standard of living,plunging it into civil war, over-run by terrorists.
ISIS is now there because of Obama-while Qadaffi was an anti-al_Qaeda allie
But lets be clear, you have repeatedly defended Putin, pushed for less sanctions and more rewards when Russia is actually a WORSE actor than Iran by several orders of magnitude. They are not abiding by any agreements.
OK hot shot. NAME the agreements they are not abiding by?
and you completely miss how NATO expansion has pushed us to Russia's doorstep -causing it to turn towards better Sino-Russian trade/military.
Iran is on the verge of being a democracy
no.it's a theocracy.
Russia is a shameless oligarchy controlled by a balding, saggy-titted loser who has himself stolen 200 billion from the Russian economy.
Putin has also modernized the Russian military.
He's put Russian abilities on par with NATO (except for quantity)..why do this? Because of NATO expansion.
Otherwise WTF do you care about how Russia governs itself?
are you interested in "spreading democracy" like a neocon?
The Sunni powers are the worst players in the Middle East. Period.
your value judgement does not square with even Obama's affirmation of the "special relationship" we have with SA.
why don't you play the human rights card here? it's the neocon way.
Iran is much more hegemonious then all the Sunni powers combind together
And that you want the good behavior to come to Russia, without reforms from Russia, is akin to fellatio on Putin.
I don't give a damn about "Russian behavior" all I care about is managing the relationship to our advantage -
realpolitik
