I didn't make my post clear... my beef is with our young ones who refuse to take the mantle and they resent it when it comes to caring for their elders. My generation did it. I cared for an elderly parent for eleven years and it cost me dearly both financially and in my personal life (as in I have none). Sacrifice... we did it. It's your turn, Gen-X.
This is going to happen sooner or later and it's not Russia or China's fault. It's squarely our fault... for letting the federal reserve and US politicians run amok. The only reason why it hasn't happened yet is becuase every country (except Russia and China)that has threatened to sell oil for gold instead of dollars has been blown to hell by us.If we loose the dollar as the global currency in commodities the US will crash when the dollar crashes.
I agree with Bill Whittle a lot, but not on this. We're not the world's police and everytime we try to be it doesn't work out for us in the long run. International rule of law?? We barely have rule of law within our own boarders now. You gotta put the oxygen mask on yourself before you can help others with theirs.I'm in a Bill Whittle watching mood tonight I guess. Here he is addressing the issue along with Green and Ott.
well... shitThis may prove to be a bit of an issue for...................well the world! Jews ordered to register in east Ukraine | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth
I have been reading up on this fairly extensively and also listening to some comnentators on Russia/Putin.
This thing has the potential to spin out of controll very quickly into a much broader territory grab by Russia.
The USA is sitting on the sideline with O twiddling his thumbs threatening economic sanctions. Putin is looking to cripple us economicly and China could support them as Putin is courting them.
If we loose the dollar as the global currency in commodities the US will crash when the dollar crashes.
Honestly I am a little more than concerned with O at the helm. He is no match for Putin and we have pissed on and off our allies and our enemies all the while spending wrecklessly and dismantling our military not only in size but also its capabilities.
Honestly we are a much weaker nation than we care to face or admit. We can't hold up our agreements on protecting those that we have vowed to protect.
This very well could be a very historical 2014.
Cant believe US government is so stupid wrt Russia these days.
Putin doesnt give a chit about what the USA says. He has a plan, knows how to put it into motion to get results.
The US president has no plan, has no idea what he wants and how to get things done. Comparison not even fair. For their actions, the US sends Biden in to tell Russia 'please stop that'... we are making a joke of our own country by doing this.
Obama has a plan, but it has nothing to do with Russia.
What's that plan... in plain/simple terms... laid out for us mortals to understand?
British RAF scrambled a fighter today. Chased 2 armed Russian fighter bombers off the coast of Scotland.
WTF?
Create a nation of subjects dependent on government handouts and protection who can be easily controlled and manipulated while centralizing as much power as possible in the federal government.
We talking about Russia or the US?
I was just answering a question.
Just pointing out how insane things have become that this could describe the US or some socialist/dictatorial country like Russia. I guess they are more of a nationalist oligarchy.
