    This is the first time when Russian officials called the USA an adversary.
    I'm not glad to hear that. I would like them to call the USA an enemy.

    Whatever you say. I bet every bullet they gave North Vietnam to be fired at US troops had "we love America" engraved on it.

    I don't know what was engraved on these bullets actually.
    Americans must know better, as they picked out so many from their asses when running away from Saigon...

    So you admit they helped N.Vietnam kill Americans while trying to argue they were never adversaries....Go figure.

    We have been adversaries for decades.

    You may be psychic.

    During the war, the USA aided and traded with Eastern European countries who were aiding, trading and sending arms to North Vietnam.

    But that is not surprising considering during WW1 US leaders partnered with revolutionaries to destroy Russia's 900 year old Christian monarchy... and during WW2 the US sent 11 billion dollars in aid and military hardware to antichrist church-destroying mass-murdering marxist Stalin to keep him in power.

    Actually the Spanish gave up on Texas and our Middle West because of the Comanches. From what I read, they reigned supreme in N. America, except for the East and West coast - that is until the American military began fighting them after the civil war. What helped defeat the Comanches as well, was killing off the buffalo's, since it was their main food source.

    The Comanches prowess was legendary as was their barbarity and cruelty to their adversaries. It didn't matter if they were other native tribes trying to settle on their lands, or Europeans.

    Quanah Parker was their last chief. His mother was European, and he surrendered eventually and became a successful businessman.

    The only Indian general in the US Civil War was Confederate Brig.Gen Stand Watie, Chief of the Southern Cherokees who lived in Oklahoma Indian territory at the time. Oklahoma Indians fighting for the Confederacy angered the US government and was one of the reasons the US government later opened up Oklahoma for European settlement.


    Here is photo of a memorial stone at his Oklahoma gravesite:

    The inscription reads:

    In Honor of General Stand Watie - - only full blood Indian
    Brigadier General in the Confederate Army.

    This brave Cherokee with his heroic regiment rendered inestimable
    services to the Confederate Cause of Indian Territory.

    Born in Georgia, December 12, 1806, died in Cherokee Nation, September 9, 1871

    A tribute to his memory by the Oklahoma Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy.

    Who's arguing?
    Soviet Union helped Vietnam to kill Americans and that was good and right. But that was Soviet Union. Russian officials didn't use words like "adversaries" until recently.

    Biden just gave a short live speech about Russia in which he said he has offered to meet with Putin in a neutral European country this summer.

    Putin also conveniently reset his term limits in the process, giving himself another two. Plenty of time to amend the constitution again if he wants to.

    That wouldn't be too popular. Russia is too far from being predominantly fundamentalist wacko Christian.

    Back in 2003 I posted on Pravda this, my "wish list" for Putin:


    Vladimir Putin is God's Anointed Orthodox Autocratic Tsar !!!

    God will direct him in the best ways to resurrect Holy Mother Russia !!!

    However, here is my 'wish list'

    National Day of Repentance Declared.

    Russian Orthodox Church [ROC] made the STATE CHURCH !!!

    jews expelled

    All those who pervert and undermine the Tsar's authority, Russia's Orthodox Christian Monarchy or the Russian Orthodox Church will be punished and/or expelled.

    Strict immigration laws. NO NON-WHITE immigration.

    Strict law against abortion , prostitution, immorality, pornography, homosexuality, recreational drugs.

    All media subject to strict morality laws monitored by the ROC.

    Pro-family laws enacted which discourage divorce but encourage large families and stay at home mothers.

    An efficient health care system, with emphasis on preventive care, living a healthy moral lifestyle, a healthy mind in a healthy body.

    Public schools where the ROC will assist the state in teaching of morality and healthy lifestyles.

    Either nationalization or strict state control over all key industries and resources which are vital to the Motherland.

    Encouragement of small business free enterprise.

    Protection of the environment.

    Partial private land ownership but with laws that will prevent land grabs and monopolies by 'oligarchs'... other lands will belong to the state including protected wilderness areas and areas deemed vital to the Motherland.

    No foreign ownership of Russian businesses or lands.

    Gold standard [gold coins and currency backed by gold]

    Reinstatement of the death penalty.

    Establish justice by getting rid of corruption and fraud in all sectors.

    A strong, well armed, organized and well maintained military.

    .......

    They've got to take it as slow as possible. No point jumping right to "enemy" when "adversary" will do to rile up the ignorant Russian nationalists who get their information from Russia's equivalent to Fox News. They can save enemy for the next time Putin's popularity is in the ******* and he needs to escalate things again.

    Germans were enemies.
    Bulgarians were adversaries. For instance.
