Putin 2016, at least he understands radical Islam......
I remember when the Russians were the bad guys ! My, My how things have changed !
When asked about England`s 700 yr continuous alliance with Portugal, Winston Churchill replied "There are no `permanent` alliances. There ARE however permanent national "interests" and policies. Where the "interests" of 2 or more nations come together for any period of time you have alliances..." Politics make for some very unusual `bed fellows`...
It would be nice if America had less fear of offending, and more interest in staying alive.
Well, we can adopt the policies of the late 40`s and the 50`s where we just did what ever we wanted and pissed off about 1/2 of the world, and then wondered why so many nation chose to side with the USSR ! Let us wipe our feet with your face during peacetime and WHAT? Why aren`t we "friends"? Except this time we can piss them off and they can side with CHINA ! If we just REALLY get completely arrogant, we can have the US vs the ENTIRE rest of the world ! THAT will make you HAPPY and feel "safe" won`t it ? That very SAME attitude DOOMED Imperial Japan AND Nazi Germany BOTH! Go ahead and PISS OFF the entire REST of the world...

Uhhh Lowell .... half the world already hates us, and half of our "friend" nations don't trust us, very few nations fear us, and the other half of those "friend" nations ain't too sure about us.
Exactly what Liberal Apologetic Uber-govt ideas are going to change any of that ??

Guess that depends on whom you ask. Several world wide polls still have the US seen in a positive light and it`s STILL the #1 place just about EVERYONE wants to live, given the choice. About the only people who REALLY think it just absolutely stinks to high heaven and isn`t "fit" to live in at ALL (but whom AREN`T going anywhere ELSE) all seem to be the Republican right wingers ! So, how long till you're boarding the plane for...where IS that again? BTW, the `admiration` of Putin is somewhat understandable from a Republican point of view; he has recently re-enacted the dissention laws where critisizing or even uncovering government cronyism, waste, fraud and abuse is now punishable by upto 10 yrs in prison, and is in the process of repealing various individual liberties and rights. In some circles he is being called "the next Stalin". We NEED another "Stalin" type, right? Someone willing to mass murder another 40 million of his fellow countrymen even before the Nazis attack in 1941. Some one to re-establish Russia as "the greatest nation upon the Earth" (Putin`s own words); doesn`t ANYONE "miss" the good old Soviet Union? THAT is what he really WANTS...oh, yeah, Stalin was NEVER "elected", apparently Mr Putin did not receive a "legal" majority either, but "laws" can be SO "inconvieniant"...THIS is whom you have such "great" admiration" for ? See if he`ll run on the next Republican ticket...
