Leftist "Never Trumper's" Undermine Russian Relations


You mean to tell me that the United States and Russia are to never ever have good relations? That we should never ever attempt to understand each other going forward into perpetuity? That we should always and forever be at odds?

How absurd this notion is.

"Oh how evil they are!"

Yup, yup, yup, they're evil. Nobody else is evil, just Russia. Only Russia has oppressed their people. Only Russia has done...fill in the fucking blank! Australia didn't kill a bunch of Aborigines, Japan didn't kill a bunch of Ainu Indians, Chinese, Koreans etc, the French didn't kill a bunch of Haitians, Ethiopians, Vietnamese, etc etc and Germany is ok now although they started two world wars and killed 6 million Jews. Yup, yup, yup, Russia's evil. Don't get me started.

We have relations with China whom we fought against in Korea, we have relations with Vietnam whom we tried real hard to wipe out every single one of not so long ago, we have relations with Germany and Japan. But Russia? Come on, nobody is buying it. Nobody but the people who have a monetary or political stake in keeping the two countries apart believe that this is a bad thing.

And Russia did manage to fight in two world wars that they didn't start and as far as I remember they were on our side.

The West has always used Russia as the Boogey Man. "Drink your milk or the Russians will get you" sort of thing. U.S. politicians have always pointed out that our way is the right way and that Russia is a goddless country of gulags and black & white photography of starving masses while they tax us all into the poor house to defend against "Soviet Aggression" while all along using NATO to antagonize them. It makes no sense.

While we have pretended to court the Soviets and even sold them grain to cover the economic shortfalls of their Communist Experiment, there was always distrust on the part of Russia to get involved since the memory of our participation in intervening in the glorious Revolution lingered. After that it was our involvement in the useless, useless NATO alliance that President Trump has recently pointed out in no uncertain terms, has no inkling of relevance left in today's world of Global Economics.

How can Germany pretend to be afraid of Russian attack when they're paying them a TON of money for gas imports? Um, Right?

And it would be ditto for the U.S. It's tough to have a war with a good trading partner. The more the European Union gets involved with Russia economically, the less the NATO charade is needed.

It's really all just bullshit. It's all about the money. United States Taxpayer Money! They want it, you got it. This really should end, it's a waste of time and money. U.S. time and money.

And you better believe that the next Democratic President will go running over to whoever is running Russia in the future and claim to have made "Historic Progress" in U.S./Russian relations. Just as long as it isn't President Trump who does it. That's all.

CNN Disputes Trump Claim that Sky is Blue! 

Although I have confidence in the vast capabilities of the United States intelligence agencies, it has become clear to the American People that they have "picked a side" of whom to support in this country. That's very bad. They have not only decided who they think should run the country, they have also formulated and acted upon plans to keep the people they don't want to run the country out. That is also very bad. It's not their call. That call belongs to the American Voter and they have made their choice and it wasn't another Leftist Idiot.

And so, given that they are the way they are, the "stupid choice" of the American People must be overturned. And this was the best plan they came up with?

I don't believe for one moment that Russia as a nation had anything to do with Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 presidential election OR even trying. It's the stupidest thing I've every heard. She didn't even need the help. How did she lose Wisconsin? By never setting foot there!

If she had bothered to go there just ONCE, the World Media could now be hailing President Clinton's successful summit with Vladimir Putin!

But she couldn't be bothered. The fix was in, she was going to win. But there was one small problem.

The American People felt otherwise and we still get to vote and we will in high numbers when motivated. And the motivation was that we were tired of the last 8 years of the only Marxist world leader left in the world, Barrack Hussein Obama. There, I said it.

Too bad nobody else believes in the United States like President Trump and the people who put him in the Whitehouse.

It would be the BEST THING for the world to have the United States and Russia to have good relations, trade agreements and open dialog. And everybody knows it. But since it's Donald Trump attempting it, it can't be allowed to happen. The Media and their government enablers continue their efforts to undermine our relations with Russia. The Boogey Man of the Soviet Era must be maintained to sell fear. Fear is money to these people.

But Russia has moved on from the Soviet Era economically and socially.

So why shouldn't we?

Russia Annexes Crimea, Saves $ 98 Million

No wonder Russia wanted Crimea. No wonder Ukraine didn’t want to let the region go. Russia was paying Ukraine $ 98 Million to keep their ships in port in Crimea. And when the troops got paid, I’m pretty sure that they didn’t all send the money back to momma on the Volga. The local Crimean businesses made a bundle on having the Russian naval base there.

So now Russia is that much richer and Ukraine is that much poorer.
But the trouble is only beginning for Ukraine. The Ukrainian version of “George Bush’s Fault’ is going to manifest itself as other cash-starved or soon to be cash-starved regions of Ukraine vie for a chance to vote on a referendum to rejoin Russia. Now the Ukrainian region of Donetsk wants one.
This is obviously all Vladimir Putin’s fault.

The rest of Ukraine seems just as divided. There are factions that wish to rejoin Russia and there are the Ukrainian Nationalists who wish to stay an autonomous nation and join the EU.  This is going to have to be sorted out and having a vote will be a good start. The trick is to pull it off without the country descending into chaos.
The situation in Ukraine is beginning to play out in a fashion reminicent of the old "Bloody Kansas" turmoil in the days leading up to the U.S. Civil War. This was when the Kansas territory was given a chance a vote whether to join the Union as a "Free" state or a "Slave" state and bloody clashes took place between Free State and Pro Slavery factions. This lead to increased polarization, deeper divisions and then to civil war.
The Ukrainian insurrection that toppled its president is nothing less than a revolution. Not a particularly bloody one but with the absence of power, history has shown, there is an increasing risk there will be a clash between powerful groups to fill that gap and as we have seen, they are very wide apart in their views to say the least.

This is Vladimir Putin’s fault.
There have been many promises made by the U.S. and the EU as to guarantees of support both financially, politically and militarily. These are not going to happen nearly to the satisfaction of Ukraine’s interim government which is not only having to deal with a vote of their own and the loss of Crimea but also the potential of a breakup of the rest of the country.

Somehow I don’t think the losing parties in the Ukrainian elections are going to take it sitting down.
This is Vladimir Putin’s fault.

So whether you think the Crimean vote was legitimate or coerced or whatever, Ukraine is going to have bigger problems down the road with whichever group gains control of the country. The loss of Crimea is a big blow financially but if they don’t address other more pressing issues first, the Crimean vote will look like a good idea and then other regions will follow suit.  
Who’s fault will that be?

Obama Risks Global Nuclear War


Even if the present administration can't see it, I’m starting to get a picture in my mind about how this Syrian encounter could possibly play out.
The United States has already sent 6 war ships to the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Russia has 4 ships stationed in Syria with three on the way and has a naval base at Tartus.
If the U.S. does attack Bashir Assad’s positions, what happens if a Russian ship is hit? What also is to keep Russia from putting a “focus” on the Assad opposition to keep them from moving into Damascus upon a U.S. intervention? To avoid a direct conflict with the U.S. in Syria Russia could intervene on behalf of Assad. This could keep the balance of power together.

Since Russia has declared a U.S. intervention without UN involvement to be an illegal act, Putin is too shrewd politically to directly challenge the U.S. once the shooting starts.

However there could be an “incident” where one or the others forces or even a ship is hit. If boots U.S. boots hit the ground in Syria, there will most certainly be Russian boots there as well. With all the ordinance that will be flying around, this could be a problem.
This could escalate a direct conflict with nuclear power Russia. If a Russian ship or Russian troops are hit as a result of a U.S. “surgical” strike, all hell will break loose in the world.

Is this what the U.S government and President Obama wants?
Why would we risk so much based upon a lie?

It makes no sense. It is obvious to everybody but the people in charge of the country that this is in nobodys best interests, especially ours.
What are we doing?

President Obama is a megalomaniac and he and his henchmen in Congress will lead us down the road to ruin if he is allowed to continue.
Who will stop this man?
