Thanks for catching that. I should have written the word as "non-confrontational" as you suggest. Even though doing so has nothing to do with with the point I was making, it was a grammatical omission on my behalf.
Not exactly a condemnation of Russia. Attacking Obama (well-deserved I might add!) for doing nothing about Russia is not congruent with what I stated. Good direction to head, however.
You are more hung up on Russia and Putin than Stephen F. Cohen.
Yeah, we know Putin's a crook. You know who has wronged me and affected my life more than Putin? The Saudi Royal ******. Far dirtier and we deal with them too. Ask the Clintons.
I am indeed. There are very good reasons for this but it would take too long to explain and you'd be seriously bored with it anyway. Re: Saudi Arabia, yes I agree with you but they don't present a military threat to us so there is really a huge difference.
Oh OK. Thanks for the clarification. Only comment I will make is that is that I can't imagine taking an attitude of being automatically opposed to anything that the other side might think or propose without at least giving it some reasonable consideration. I guess that why I'm a moderate. Bad place to be on this forum since pretty much no one wants to claim you. Still, I'm OK with it.
