keep sucking that Russian KGB cock
After reading way too many of your posts, it seems quite clear facts are very strange things to you. Reading is fundamental.
Should I decide to reply to your nonsense, I need to ask one question of you. Are you a male or a female?

If you're not home I'd be calling Uber lol.
sadly it isn't just Obama.
If you want Americans to go apoplectic - just say "the Russians are coming!" -or the Russians did it" in this case.
There is no shortage of visceral loathing (hell even Merkel isn't that upset re: Crimea as the US) when the Bear is invoked.
I'll be under the table before New Years Eve at this rate.. I walked up to the gym ( they have a TV) and the talking heads were all regurgitating the various/sameness party lines already..It's scripted into the talking points
she even got the spelling on that wrong...

Visceral is the key concept: Russophobia is in our DNA, kind of vestigial fear left over from the Cold War days. It's all politicos like McCain know.
Don't get me wrong, Putin still ranks as thug. But the Chinese are no better...and the Islamists, well, I'll take a Putin every time. It's not like Russia is a zero threat to us or our European allies. But some Putin phobes need to pick a newspaper and read about what's threatening Europe.
It ain't Putin.
Trump is correct in seeking to establish ties with the Bear. The threat is dated and overblown. And alternative is pointless---there's nothing to be gained from it.
Democrats can and have done much better than HRC. This may be a blessing in disguise for them.
the problem is the Cold war days are not over. I posted the other day about the "Europe Reassurance Act" -it was $3.4 billion on top of the aleady massive defense spending for Europe/NATO.
and what is it good for? absolutely nothing.
Putin literally walked into Crimea ( he used stealth troops: non-insignia "little green men" and trucks) -so what good is all this money and manpower for except to heighten tensions and make the Cold War trip wire even more hair trigger?
But the jerk offs in Congress and the White House will never say that.
They get up there and beat the drums of "Putin is a thug" and the visceral reaction is retaliation or more money and manpower
spent on what is a stalemate situation at best..
And of course no-one ever mentions NATO expansion...oh no.."Putin is a KGB murderous thug"
*drains the bottle*
I sincerely do not care. They are whining cry babies and Obama the petulant child trying to muck it up for Trump.
I'm sure you know the "first 100 days" is the honeymoon period for a new POTUS?
Instead they are out to wreck his presidency -and they don't give a shit - they are willing to take down America with it.
They are intent on electoral politics no matter at what cost - instead of giving the guy a chance.
Screw them. they whined about Republican obstructionism for 8 years and now they are doing the same or worse.

i still think china is the greatest threat of the new era and russia will be necessary to deal with them.
im listening to some pundits now and i agree that as long as there is no economic sanctions this is toothless.
I do know that. I also know that a true leader will not let a few feeble obstacles get in his/her way. I think these matters are going to be nothing other than speed bumps to President elect Trump.
you need to step up your news sources..This is a phased in Cold War . It's just starting. And it's being deliberately done tocause as much damage as possible, while making it more and more difficult for Trump to over-turn.
Obama/the warpigs/and the Democrats are out to hamstring Trump's ability to conduct his foreign policy/
Yes I agree with you about China long term
not what I'm hearing.
The executive orders are not so easily overturned with Congress in the mix.
Obama is leading the Dems. McCain/Graham the Repukes.
Plus they are gonna be piling it on ( phases) - so when Trump tries to untangle this clusterf*ck
the cries of "Putin's bitch" (etc.) will be hurled against Trump -making it more politically difficult to unravel.
This is serious stuff. Not some Obama dog and pony show.
Actions speak louder than words Anatta. Political punditry and words rule DC. It is all they have really. I have my reservations about Trump however the man is all about action.
