    You know the sad thing is the Russian people....who are absolutely having their nations wealth stolen out from under them....don't even know what to do about it nor do many care.

    They have been under the rule of Czars for centuries only to be under the rule corrupt Communist Leaders and now they are ruled by a Dictator and make no mistake....and leader that seizes control of a nations entire media then seizes control of every large company in that nation and then changes the nations constitution so he can continue to rule until he dies....

    ....is a DICTATOR!!

    Then you are right, and Prof. Stephen Cohen of Princeton is wrong, and Nato has not massed the largest forces on Russia's borders since WWII. Grow up Alpha! :roll:

    As for Dr. Craig Roberts the former economic adviser to Pres. Reagan, I guess he's being paid too. :roll:

    Have you ever heard of WWI, where the Europeans sleepwalked into a catastrophe that changed the world forever. .. And all because of a little bluff by the German ambassador to get Russia to pull out. The problem is the troops were already at the front, so it was too late to pull out.

    That war caused the deaths not only of 20,000 men each day, but of tens of millions of Christians in the Near East and Russia because of the revolution... It also led to WWII. Well let's just say the world is sleepwalking again into its own demise .... As the saying goes: "He who does not know history is bound to repeat it."



    The 10-day military exercise, involving 31,000 troops and thousands of vehicles from 24 countries, has been welcomed among Nato’s allies in the region, though defence experts warn that any mishap could prompt an offensive reaction from Moscow.

    A defence attache at a European embassy in Warsaw said the “nightmare scenario” of the exercise, named Anaconda-2016, would be “a mishap, a miscalculation which the Russians construe, or choose to construe, as an offensive action”.

    Jeannette....for you to be saying this guy or anyone is right that there will be a war....is just insane.

    First of all it would take something a lot worse than a few NATO troops near the Russian boarder to spark a war.

    And if Putin was so stupid as to actually go to war....we would clean his clock.

    And if he attempted to go Nuclear...no one wins.....and as Putin is all about MAKING MONEY....and since you can't make money is YOUR DEAD....we really have nothing to worry about.

    I'm sure Putin is a creep, but I'm not sure we are up to any good ourselves. Your thoughts on the theory that the entire Syrian mess is because Qatar wants to put a natural gas-line through Syria, to serve European customers that are currently served by Russia?

    I love seeing the meme's of putin wrestling a bear and obama rolling around with his chihuahua (snarky examples). Manly men are always more interesting than pansies that draw red lines with their little piece of chalk on the playground.

    HEY!!! LOL!!

    One thing I hate Putin for is he stages these Martial Arts Matches with some poor young Russian soldier and in one TELEVISED Match....Putin takes on this kid and just looking at the kid I knew the kid could have kicked Putin's ass any time he wanted but the kid was basically told to lose.

    So Putin is showing off his skill and then PURPOSELY breaks this kids wrist.

    Being a man who would give his life for my Team comprised of the very best 20 somethings the U.S. Military has to offer I would give my life to protect those kids and I would never hurt them to display my physical prowess.

    So I would say to Putin..."Get in the ring with me!!"

    Putin would last all of 2 seconds in a ring with me!!

    Also....a true Alpha Male does NOT get off by hurting others!!

    We are by nature predisposed to protect others.

    Those that do purposeful harm all for ego...are Beta's.

    My thoughts are that I work pipeline construction and nothing I've ever seen resembles that picture you posted. Have you anything that is true or is this just somebody's imagination?

    Of course he would - to let the population know he's countering your 'missile aggression'. Do you expect him to ignore the threat from the insane West? :roll: Just like the other loonies here, you're pathologically obsessed with Putin. Maybe you should all ask yourselves why??

    The Missiles are ABM/ASAT's....and they are few in number.

    No threat.

    They are there to protect against either an Iranian or in the case Pakistan looses control of it's Nuclear Missiles...a Nuclear Missile Launch for there as well.

    They can also protect Russia as Russia does NOT have such a system.

    Yes, and that's what's worrying me!! I suspect you'd try and be in the ring with him for more than 'two minutes'! :eyepopping:

    'wow' eh... and what do you mean by this 'wow' ?

    as if you never heard of the Rothshields, Rockfellers & Fords?

    however, it isn't wealth that matters, rather distribution of power between the Ruling Elites and who they appoint for this or that position.

    Cohen is a russian apologist..listened to him several times...Russians should take it serious..they're the threat..you eliminate the threat..or provide the means to eliminate it.

    Yep!

    Putin plus another 110 of his buddies own over 35% of total Russian wealth.

    Greatest wealth disparity is HISTORY!

    Sickening isn't it?

    I know.

    I have spent a great deal of time in both the Soviet Union's Russia and in Russia after.

    They almost crave subjugation.

    Truth is they don't know what to do with freedom.

    Okay so you're right about Putin. Nothing's getting done about it. And nothing ever will.

    I am hopeful that eventually the Russian people are going to realize he and his buddies are stealing all the Russian Energy Export Profits.

    But I am not holding my breath.

    In the meantime Putin is going to continue to scream to his people about the ever increasing threat from NATO and the U.S.

    A threat that really does not exist.
