    You, sir, should urgently apply for a job of a president because only you have guts. When Russkie were stifling Hungarian revolution, Eisenhower, a man who went through WWII, had no guts to do...what? When Russkie were smashing Zchechs with their tanks, Johnson had no will to stop it and he escalated Vietnam war. When russkie entered Georgia, what did Obama do? And you expect from a "young" inexperienced president that he would act so...actively?

    Trump = Hitler. Hitler had "alternative media" as well. We recognize it as propaganda today. Well, most of us do. Trump's loyalists, as implicitly directed by Trump himself, constantly denigrate the media as "fake," yet they are not lying. Trump lies constantly and it's obvious to see, yet his loyalists are invested in his version of reality and support him over the facts and the media that oppose his lies with the facts.

    Also, lol @ the claim by a Russian that Russian state media outlets are "absolutely free to determine their editorial policy." In case you hadn't noticed, Russian media are not at all critical of Putin and his policies. They help create the illusion of Good Guy Putin for an international audience and, for instance, maintain the official line where Ukraine and Syria are concerned.

    Then why is Trump panicking about intelligence leaks? If it is just a bunch of lies, then there is no actual leak.

    Yes I see your point...I merely made the statement if the us ship ..Chose..to shoot down those jets, it would easily do so, and as far as Hungarian, czech, revolutions go yes there could have been more "resolve" on our part. Perhaps Patton was right back in ww2. Anyway the former Warsaw pact and SU was bankrupted, and ceased to exist.

    It's only a matter of time before the Olgino Trolls and the Kremlin's propaganda bullhorns start treating Trump like the Leftist crybabies in our own media, and if Vlad the Invader continues his provocative antics things are going to get real sour real quick between the U.S. and Russia. To be honest with you, this is probably what Putin wants - America is more useful to him as an enemy than a friend.

    Hopefully I'm wrong (and its unlikely that I am), but maybe this has something to do with the Kremlin's order?:

    Trump's popularity a personal threat to Putin and his grip on power, and Putin getting scared and turning on Trump? :lol: I like that thought.

    I was thinking of the source and the ideology of those behind the fake news... and how they are using the same propaganda methods used by the Bolsheviks and other groups to overthrow the Tsar.

    I think too many people relate the Russian Federation with the former Soviet Union, not realizing the similarity would be more with the new world order. What I see as being different between them is that one was a government control of people's lives, while the other is a corporate control of people's lives. In either case people are not free. ..although they can be brainwashed into thinking they are. Anyway this is my opinion.

    Western MSM know what Kremlin tells media... That's why Bloomber, Foreign Policy, Deutche Welle and others released articles about that in just half an hour period... But you know what? Still no amy signs Russian media changed their cover on Trump.

    Trump isn't attacking freedom of the press, litwin. He's attacking the partisan Leftist propagandists in the media who oppose him on ideological grounds. These are the same hacks who fawned over Obama for eight years and then did everything in their power to get Hillary Clinton elected.

    From what I gathered, the Russians wondered whether Trump would be able to fight the globalists with their one world order, so they weren't too gung ho. It was a wait and see process. I felt he was, that's why I wanted him right from the start. I never expected though so much horror and opposition. I see it as demonic.

    I know that Dugan was thrilled at the election, and that so many Americans were smart enough to see through those who were trying to control their minds, at the expense of their freedom and well being.

    Americans are individuals, that's why they're holding on to their guns. We're talking about people who sailed for three months to get here, and then went West and faced the 'savages' ...and believe me, many of the tribes were savage. One man on a forum said his grandfather and some other men were so upset listening to the screams of someone being tortured each night that they went and killed them all.

    Anyway this country grew through its small enterprises, and the Obama/Soros/Clinton group took these things away from the American people through taxes and regulations in order to benefit the globalist corporate interests. Trump though is fixing that just as he promised. Had Clinton been elected, within a few years none of the farms in the country would have been privately owned, and small business' would have ceased to exist.

    It's strange mostly for older Americans who didn't realize that their country had changed, and was now under the control of others. A lot are just starting to wake up with Trump.

    It took the war in Syria to wake me up. Assad was the most tolerant leader in the Middle East, and yet we went against him and supported the Sunni extremists.

    I knew people who had moved back to Syria and were praising him for the way he made the country, so why were we destroying it and for who? Why were we handing it to the crazies who were beheading and exterminating Christians and other minorities?

    Had Obama followed through and Putin not stopped him by proving that the chemical weapons were not Assad's, and that it was a false flag attack, the terrorists would have entered Damascus and massacred everyone.

    I come from a long line of Cold Warriors, litwin, and because of that I have an enormous amount of respect and fondness for the people of Eastern Europe. For 40+ years we fought the same battle against the same foe and together we came out victorious. My heroes growing up were the people who fought the USSR and its puppet regimes, and I'm not kidding when I say that the day the Berlin Wall fell was one of the most exciting days of my life. Not many people live to see something that momentous.

    Because of this I take America's leadership and its commitments to our friends and allies very seriously. I'm aware of the sacrifices the Georgians made in Iraq, so I was pleased when President Bush did what he could to keep that country from being overrun by Vlad the Invader's goon squads. I may be wrong, but I think the only thing that kept the 58th Army from taking Tblisi and overthrowing the government was the presence of U.S. Air Force personnel in that city. Bush dared him to start a war with the United States over Georgia and Putin blinked. While there was nothing Obama could do about the annexation of Crimea, I wish he had done something similar to support the Ukrainians after that. We made a commitment to that country in 1994 and Obama broke it. It was disgraceful - people who have no honor have no shame.

    To be honest with you, Americans don't mind the input of our friends abroad. Sometimes they can see things that we can't.

    One more thing - don't worry about Trump. He's not going to walk away from NATO and he's not going to let Putin get away with the (*)(*)(*)(*) that Obama let him get away with. He's a completely different man who has a completely different view of America and its role in the world and eventually our allies are going to recognize and appreciate this. Don't fall for the fear-mongering of his opponents.

    and the penny drops for the Kremlin...took them bloody aaaages, the more the Russian media fawns over Trump the more distrust they create in Trump in America and the rest of the world.

    Why? Because people also ask Why. Why do the Russian government love Trump so much when he's barely been inaugurated. Their overwhelming support for someone who's not made his policies clear until his first week in office, it makes people suspicious.... and rightfully so, with Flynn's "pre-contact on sanctions" with Russia now coming to light.
