We better hope Hitler=Putin=WW3 isn't the case, or else we'll have a shit sammich on our hands. But I really don't think Putin is much like Hitler, other than in his obvious oppressive, false flag operation love, and homicidal tendencies, lol. Russia lost over 20,000,000 people in WWII, likely more...I highly doubt that even now, in a time when most Europeans and Asians forget about a terrible conflict even a decade later, that Russia would push the world far enough to get into a real World War.

If he does, Russia will be crushed, it's just how it is. Keystone Pipeline or not. You could take away 25% of all our resources and we'd still defeat that nation. But I want nothing to do with fighting Russians unless they attack NATO...I don't want to risk American blood and coin for a Ukrainian military that is so reluctant to defend themselves.

Hitler was laughed at by most statesmen of the day and not taken seriously. After all, Germany had been on her economic 'ear' leading up to WW2 and many discounted the military build up and saber rattling from Munich. Same thing with Japan.

It isn't that we should have been hair-on-fire ready to take on Putin. You start with one of this administration's very first moves, cancelling the NATO missile shield which was legally binding and committed to by past presidents. Then we see the weaseling going on with the deal when O asked the Russian President to tell Putin he'd have more flexibility after the election. The power vacuum we have created in the Arab World. And now we have the deal with Russia 'annexing' the Ukraine. Reminds me of football players who are afraid of contact. They look the part when they're in uniform, but when the ball is snapped they just back up aggressively, LOL.

No, these days, America's forte is hiding behind international law and threatening our enemies with getting kicked out of the "global community" club. But, like I indicated, short of war or military action, there is a world of stuff a statesman the likes of Reagan would have done to alleviate the situation over there. Bullies on the school ground are exactly the same as bullies in Europe. They won't try on the rooster, unless the rooster starts backing up like a craw dad with at low tide. That's when he gets his bravado up. I agree totally we would run over Russia. But, who among this group of leaders do you see who'd have the gonads to launch the real deal against nuclear Russia? The US prevailed in the cold war stare down and Obama laughed in Romney's face when he stated that Russia was America's greatest geopolitical foe. Declaring him to be a sort of dinosaur mired in the thought processes of a 1980's man. Makes me wonder what Kennedy and Reagan would say about the tack of our present foreign policy.



You want to get chills, watch the video ^^. Comparably speaking, Romney looks like an absolute genius. On a side note, I for one would love to see Romney run again, he'd get my vote again. :biggrin: The clarity with which Romney analyzed the actions of the past year is incredible.
