there was a time when i thought polish jokes were a joke.

this country just loves to live under someone elses dictates.

in one fell swoop they have aliented themselves from their european neighbors, given radical islam a new killing field and p**ssed off their neighbor to the north.

...unfortunately for them it isn’t a joke.

actually folks: the USA is the worst nation in the world in many ways, sad to say; take off your “lens”, and LOOK; NOT at what you THINK you know to be true; but what IS true; NO OTHER country has ever done so little for it’s people as the USA; go to http://www.democracynow.org; to see Indians & oil; they have stripped the vets pays, health benefits; given political patronage to illegals under the heading of “refugees” with benefits; while harming the citizens of their own country by victimizing, exploiting them, using them like garbage & tossing them away; it is like an onion: the more you start to learn, the worse it gets; democracy has become the most despicable name on the planet because of our Gov & Corps working together against the people of this country & now “going globally.” sad but true; Iraqi’s say it is dictatorship & thousands of times worse the graft & corruption than under Saddam Hussain; the “insurgents” are only folks fighting for freedom from the mega Corp enslavement of others; take off your rose colored glasses & LOOK; now, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between our Gov & the PEOPLE; the PEOPLE of this nation are GREAT! the Gov is so corrupt its stench engulfs the world;

really america is the most evil nation in the world, and american morons the most evil people.
——————————————————————————
No, Paul, evil is evenly distributed among the world’s people. It’s in the human gene pool. The fact is that the U.S. is the most POWERFUL nation in the world, which means it has the most power to do evil as well as good. It means that when it elects a moron, he is a very powerful moron and he does a lot of evil. The U.S. has also done a lot of good. It is not clear to me that any other country with an equal amount of power would be any less evil.

While we were distrated by the wars and the economy the Bush administration has been working hard to isolate Russia from the rest of Europe including the former Soviet republics.  Of course the Russians aren’t going to take that.

Terrorists are too nebulous an enemy, especially since they have attacked us only once in 7 years.  The pentagon needs a more distinct enemy, confined to one country we all recognize.  Another cold war with Russia will keep the MIC humming.

The US, under the bogus War on Terrorism, has been surrounding Russia and China with US bases and small countries to threaten to attack them.  When the loony Georgian leadership, supported by the US and Israel, shelled and invaded Ossetia, killing two thousand people, who were co-citizens of Russia, and many soldiers of a UN approved peace keeping battalion there, driving the population into Russia,  Russia had no choice but to intervene militarily, as Gorbochev has pointed out.

To recover from its bloody nose, which alarmed the other small states that the US has militarized, the US has moved its missiles from Germany and placed them in Poland, who with Checko the US wants to install a first strike capacity against Russia.  Against the wishes of the vast majority of the populations of these two countries, who are not insane.  The wishes of the people of small countries are ignored as usual in the US mainstream press, so the American people don’t know this.

This is dangerous to the point of lunacy.  Much worse than the missiles the Soviets installed in Cuba because they were intended to forstall a US invasion, and did.  The Russians cannot allow this without some response.  The War on Terror has now been escalated to include Russia. 

Both Russia and China are allies of Iran.  They both have nuclear weapons.  The US cannot engage militarily with either one without using nuclear weapons.  It doesn’t have the necessary troops. The US is a Superpower with a Superpresident who cannot even defeat militarily small countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, althought they certainly can kill a lot of people and devastate the country.  Winning a war and killing a lot of people are not the same thing.

The US power system and its allies are in the grip of an ideological struggle, led by the neocons, that may well result in thermonuclear war.  The US power system, led by both the Gop and Dem neocons, appears to have become politically insane.

Paul, I’m afraid you’re correct. My father worked with NASA for 35 yrs…he always said, “If we ever have a nuclear war with the USSR (yrs. ago), praqy you are killed in the first blast. You don’t want to be one of the last two people fighting over the last radioactive potato”. He also hoped we would “split the last potato” (lol), but one never knows. He was optimistic it would never happen, but he never survived to see Bush-days. He would be one very disappointed Republican.

what JNagarya might not know is that the so-called “missile shield” threatens to clean up remaining russian abms after a first strike by the us. probably it is a boondoggle that will never work, but the russians cant afford to count on that.

and the ‘new cold war’ is unfortunately more than simply welfare for the mic. now that oil is scarce the first world countries are turning their attentions from their war against the poor and starting to snipe at one another. and now that the us is no longer unquestionably dominant we will be going back to twentieth century power politics. no doubt that is why western europe has gotten in line with the us on iran.

SH,

Another excellent comment!
Thanks for pointing out the obvious

the generals comments may have been bad pr but they were only the obvious truth. if poland hosts a us offensive system they get vaporized when the ballon goes up.

but probably it is better to be vaporized than to be fried in fallout. the real loser here is the good old usa. if poland gets a defense committment from us, which georgia did not have, domestic politics might lead them to play bait the bear, and then goodbye cruel world.

really america is the most evil nation in the world, and american morons the most evil people.

Purple Girl,

Excellent comment!
Thanks

Seems the ‘End of dayers’ have something in comon with the Corps (as was always the plan).War is Profitable. WW3 would bring on the 2nd coming -according to those ‘special’ christians.
Couln’t gt a reacction from invading Afghnistan, or iraq, seems Iran is a No go…so back to the ‘Cold War’ Scam.don’t tell me the Russians are threatening to strike Israel Too!
“Life is a stage,” and THEY are all just players.Both Russian & american Economies are in the hole. ‘Excellent’ their people ‘are lean & hungry’-just what yo want when your aim is to Conquer them and their sytem of gov’t - just need a cause to really pit them against each other-deploy Religous Righteousness and limited resources…and Volia you have them eating out of your hand.
Follow the money and the strings and all will become clear as to why all these ‘conflicts’ have erupted around the world.
the ‘Beast’ has four Horsemen working for it- Religion (Divine vindication), gov’t(policy & Might), industry(resources-natural, economic) and Media(propaganda/deception)...The ‘Beast’ is the ‘evil which lurks in the heart of man’. Individuals have been using these tools since the beginning- it’s time Human Kind Holds them accountable.These Tools were meant to aid Us, not be used by some as weapons against Us.These are the Highest of Crimes- crimes against Humanity!
It is Our chance to Lead once again- Arrest, prosecute and Punish Bush/Cheneycorp Now!And perhaps other Countries will do the same about their Beasts.
