From Allies to Enemies

[Gaspar]

Hard to keep track of all of the countries that now consider us the enemy or at least a worthless ally.

How did our relationship with Russia degrade so quickly?  Their bombers have now violated our airspace 16 times this year, and now this.  Putin keeps testing us.
Two Russian strategic bombers conducted practice cruise missile attacks on the United States during a training mission last week that defense officials say appeared timed to the NATO summit in Wales.

The Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers were tracked flying a route across the northern Atlantic near Iceland, Greenland, and Canada's northeast.

Analysis of the flight indicated the aircraft were conducting practice runs to a pre-determined "launch box"—an optimum point for firing nuclear-armed cruise missiles at U.S. targets, said defense officials familiar with intelligence reports.

Disclosure of the nuclear bombing practice comes as a Russian general last week called for Moscow to change its doctrine to include preemptive nuclear strikes on the United States and NATO. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/russian-strategic-bombers-near-canada-practice-cruise-missile-strikes-on-us/

Hope the kids won't have to start practicing those drills in school again.

Shows the whole delusional mind set that has come about in this country that somehow Russia was now our friend.  Never mind the facts.  Like the KGB is and always has been the ones running the show - even when Gorbachev was there....anyone who thought otherwise has infantile delusions of world events.  "We destroyed their empire, so OF COURSE, they will now be our friends!!"


Which may lead to an interesting moral dilemma - probably sooner than later - if one is a good, patriotic, faithful Christian person; how does one reconcile that with working for an entity created by the Russian mafia/KGB, with their tentacles inserted in this country - the "evil empire" defined and detailed by Ronald Reagan??  We have those companies in the US now - and one fair sized one in Tulsa, on highway 169 at Pine.  Does one continue their association with that entity, or as good Christian American patriots, find work elsewhere and refuse to support that "evil empire"??  Or do the rationalizations erase moral considerations??



How long will it take to stop supporting our enemy?  Well, let's see...it took Roosevelt until 1942/1943 to get Congress to help him shut down Union Banking Corporation from financing the Nazi German war machine....George Bush's grandfather's bank (founded by his great grandfather).  We might continue to support (prop up) Russia for a while...

Romney looks at him like he's a child.

If we only knew then what we know now.

Here's a fun little ditty from 2008 that I found.

She could see Russia invade Ukraine from her house!. . .6 years ago!

It's not so much that Romney or Palin were prophetic, it's that the media allowed the mocking of these views to take place. I place the blame for Obama's election squarely on the media. No way does this guy get the dem nomination without the media picking sides and advocating. Some post election examples of this are thrills up the leg, female bloggers dreaming of sex with Obama, children singing songs about Obama, referring to Obama as "sort of God"...

"indecision and moral equivalence..."


Yeah....  You are really advancing Sarah Palin???  As prophetic??

Oh, wait...who was President then?  And what was his reaction??  A little bit of "moral indignation"....
