If you read the news with an open and critical mind, you know this to be true.

No Shinola Sherlock. Perhaps you might have told President Obama that before he told Vlad's number 2 man how Flexible he would be? Perhaps you might have told Obama that before he cancelled the missile shield over Eastern Europe. Perhaps you might have told Hillary before she made her Russian Uranium deal.

The topic is Russia is not our friend, no matter who thinks differently, though most Righties on OPP obscenely favor Russia.

Truth & Important Understanding Here:
Just what it was exactly are you speaking about reading? And I think you're talking about the Communist News Network (CNN) and MSNBC also, aren't you ??? What is with all this demonization of Russia? And why is all this demonization coming from the left? I'll bet that you don't even know that Putin warned us to not go down this road into Marxism. And in fact, so did Provda within several months of Obama taking office's several months before the presidential also warned Putin also castigated our left-wing press and news for lying to the American people and stated "I don't know how to get to do you people anymore". Also about 3 months before the elections, he stated that if Hillary got elected that there would definitely be war between Russia and the United States. Is that what you want? War with Russia? I bet you don't know the reasons for those Russian jet flybys next to our aircraft carriers. You don't know how we had been threatening and provocative trying to goad them into taking some action against us.

Do you not realize that Russian communism failed and Putin and the Russian government learned a lesson from that, and in fact to the point where they opened up practicing Christianity to the people that the will once again. And In fact Putin himself became a Christian. With you leftist bastards trying to fundamentally transform America into Marxism, Russia is probably less Marxist today than we are.

What you don't understand is that Putin is an anti-globalist because just like Trump he wants to retain the sovereignty of his country and not turn it over to a one world globalist government. We have that in common with him and that is a powerful uniting force. Most of the politicians here and in Europe, (f including Republicans) are globalist, but don't realize that the globalist elite find America's public gun ownership to be a real problem because in the one world globalist government guns and free speech (criticism of the government) are not going to be allowed. They also have an out in the open common knowledge agenda of reducing or eliminating most of the world's population; They therefore want to Russia and America to go to war with each other. Whether you believe that or not, it's true. And it's even worse than that. All this chaos in the Middle East has been deliberately brought about. The inflow of all these Islamic refugee into Europe and America (western nation) has been a deliberate part of it also. You see the purpose of all this is to have Islam and the West mutually destroy each other so that people will plead to be part of the one world government to end wars. Then these handful of evil rich families, bankers and corporate conglomerates can build their one world system the way they want from the ashes of our destruction. Wake up. You have to destroy the old, before you can create the new in its place. The one world government will not only be communistic, but Luciferian as well. And the left leads the way.

Putin may not be that great of a guy, but he is now more like a traditional American then Canada's Trudeau and his Deadpool of suspicious deaths in recent years is nowhere as big as either the Clinton's or Obama's and we have much more to be gained by friendship and cooperation with him then we do, by demonizing him. He wants peace with us, is not out to destroy us, but of course, does put his own country 1st.

Ooph, have your ever heard the famous line "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"? If you think it is smart to shun Russia or hide from them, you are not very smart. Reagan built a strong relationship with Gorbachev and ended the Cold War along with bringing down the Berlin wall. Trump understands this and will build a strong relationship with Putin, despite fools like you.

Anyone that has lived through the sixties and beyond should know Russia, AKA Soviet Union is not an ally of the west.
Have they ever bailed us out in crisis? No.....Have we bailed them out? Yes.

Ok, so they have murderous regimes. They keep the people down through oppressive tactics far beyond what we could imagine. They control the economy from beginning to end. They starve people and feed themselves. That is communism Folks.....
Wouldn't it be great if everyone shared everything? Yeah it would.....But there is a concept of "Worth" and "Value"....

If you had your own farm and grew your own crops to feed you family, you would know the "worth" of the land....Now, when you go to sell your goods that you have grown, the "value" is the market. What is the market giving you?

When you don't own anything, communist regimes, You have no incentive to produce...anything.

Take a look around the world and history......What has worked and what has not....

Be honest......America has worked despite it's flaws....The rest of the world, including Russia and China et al....Ride on us.
Yeah, they do. They don't appreciate it.....But they know it.

If you ever think that socialism/communism is how you want to live......Go....Pick a country....Go....

Write back after a year..........

I triple dog dare you to offer evidence. If you can offer that, I will drown you in competing facts of Obama-Hillary collusion for the past 8 years. As Joe Friday like to say, " just the facts ". Lefties were the ones during the Cold War and Reagan's Presidency who obscenely batted their eyelashes at the Soviet Ruskies because the Republicans, their mortal enemies were so anti Communist. But go ahead and prove your revision of history if you dare.

Agree. This has been their goal since the end of WW II, it's not just some recent phenomena. W/ people like this--even w/ Gorbachev and Glasnost--one must always be on guard. Glad to see you're still a "Cold War Warrior," Omph. We need more vigilant people like yourself. Keep up the good work!

To paraphrase an old saw about southerners (re, Putin) "You can take the boy out of the KGB, but you can't take the KGB out of the boy!" We should always remember this!
