    The USSR fell to Western intrigue and manipulation. Clinton had our boys interfere in the Russian election, and our boy Yeltsin was installed. He was a traitor to Russian causes.

    Thank Project Hammer and our own CIA.

    How insulting, to tell him the missiles were against Iran. When Putin said then why not put them in Russia, there was no response.

    The USSR fell because it was no longer worthy to be a nation state.

    Russia will keep shrinking in power for the same reason.

    That's always been a universal truth in history, and always will be.

    Few if any leaders of those 535 in congoress signed up for Obama care.

    Feather and protect the big nest first. True believers in the streets are useful until they ain't.

    That's all governments which have ever existed.

    Here's what I think happened in the 90's under Yeltsin.

    With the help of the 'Harvard boys' in transitioning Russia from a communist state to a capitalist one, shares were given to the Russian people. Shares have no value when you are hungry, so they were bought up by Russians who were given money by bankers. They became super rich, and billions were sent outside the country.

    All Putin asked of them when he was president, was to pay their taxes, which many like Khodorovsky refused to do, and also not to get involved in politics - which again he refused to do. When he went to sell Russia's largest oil company to Exxon Mobil, Putin put him in jail for tax evasion.

    Many oligarchs and criminals ran out of Russia with their money, and ended up in London, Switzerland, Israel, etc. In London they are now panic stricken, so they are negotiating their return to Russia. Putin said; " I could give a damn about them coming back, but we want the money they stole."

    I enjoying reading eastern Europeans, losers consistently in world affairs since 1900, talk smack.

    It's as if they don't know their own history.

    At this point the fear of the United States to hold onto its economic supremacy without it slipping out of its hands just reeks of desperation.

    We'll literally lash out and challenge anybody that threatens to take it away from us but of course much of the world now is turning its back on the United States.

    Fun times ahead....

    I understand your surprise. Of course, the term "clinical idiot" in relation to McCain does not reflect the fullness of this character's debelism, but we are cultural people, therefore, we denote the degree of McCain's dementia as a "clinical idiot."

    You're right. For example, China refused to buy oil from the United States. China was the second exporter of oil. He was second only to Canada. Canada - 25%, China - 20%. Having a budget gap of hundreds of billions, losing 20% of the oil trade does not benefit the American economy. And this is just one example.

    Who? You? I get a laugh ... but obviously you prefer the danger of a WW-3 to enforce your own will above the others and to force them to submit without any reason! You know that Russia is someone who can destroy the USA and their armed forces too if they want and not being only playing a victim and troll like Saddam or Kim in North Korea?

    I will more say it is time to declare sanctions against the USA for their bad behvior to forbid import of US goods and also all exports of godds into the USA, including to force all corporations and companies to close their plants inside the USA. What about this proposal to bing the USA back to a normal thinking and away from the arrogance, eh?

    A clinical idiot, this is the person who should be kept in a psychiatric clinic under the vigilant supervision of doctors. In general, if McCain were a little smarter, he would fully fit the term "clinical idiot." But in this case, calling him a "clinical idiot", we show leniency towards him.

    And your proposal already finds a response. For example, China completely refused to buy oil from the United States. By the way, China was the second exporter of American oil. Lose only Canada. Canada -25%, China - 20%. China bought more than the EU.
