Valid points but you forget that Putin runs russia.....The other guy is farcical and even if he is the real deal he surely is as hardcore as Putin.....KGB to the core. Not a good thing considering he has likely been in the west on many occasions conducting whatever operations he was involved in. Yet not charmed or won over.
Yea China and Russia doesnt have a great relationship at times but trust me if the west made any overt moves on regional security as in their regional security they be the best of buds.
PS> For example Georgia.....Afghanistan is also the swinging door, But they probably happy to adopt a "wait and see" approach on that.They got their own radical islam problems, And hell half the west is bogged down their and in the middle east, A pretty fucking win win situation.
Thing is though our entire conversation on this deviates from my original point and it is also cold war shit......The world is past its old cold war shit, It suits the fat cats in all the countries, All of them having their own ruling elites to continue on this brand of globalization. Which in turn needs each other.
I don't mean to be rude, but I think you'll find that I forget nothing about mother Russia, I did used to live there after all
I'm quite aware of Putin. He's not without his good points, but unfortunately also not without his bad points.
I'm not necessarily sure they'd be the best of buds. Not so long ago Russia ceeded land to china they had previously fought over. Admittedly the Russians have the largest country in the world and therefore the most land to lose, but it's not like them to give up without a fight. I believe that when the time comes the Russians will be quite happy to stab the chinese in the back, if only in part as revenge for the chinese selling AK47 copies to the Mujahadeen to fight the Soviets.
By the way, Mother Russia is attempting to recieve royalties from AK derivatives manufactured outside Russia... What do you want to bet the chinese simply won't pay?
As for Afghanistan, yes the Russians do have their own problems and why should they help us after we supplied stingers to the Mujas to take down Soviet aircraft? Afghanistan was the Soviet Vietnam; the rebels used to cut a prisoners arms and legs off and throw the still-living man in front of convoys as a FUD tactic.
I see your point about the fat cats. Isn't it about time they were disposed of?
You're aware that 70 million americans voted for Obama, yes?
That's an awful lot of "ghetto crowd fanboys", especially considering only 12.5% of the voting populace is black. At minimum 61 million non-black voters voted for Obama.
Furthermore, Obama defeated McCain 52% to 48% among the nations highest income earners.
He also defeated McCain among voters of every educational level from high school grads on up. Among those with post-graduate degrees (17% of the voting population) he crushed McCain 58% to 40.
So as you can clearly see there is nothing to substantiate the claim he was elected by, nor is the servant of, "ghetto trash".
PS: Social security has been around for 75 years.
PSS: Around a million and half americans have filed for bankruptcy each of the last 9 years. The reason most often given for those bankrupticies is medical bills/expenses. My monthly insurance premium is $701.
Good points.
Also he enthusiastically supported TARP, the bailout for several of our largest, most powerful capitalist concerns. That big BIG money went to big business and Wall Street, not to the "ghetto crowd".
Goods point.
Recently I find myself falling victim to something that the Germans, in their typically accurate way, have a saying for:
"Under 30 and not liberal, no heart.
Over 30 and still liberal, no brain."
I'm losing my liberal ideals, I dunno what to do :-(
