It’s Time to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Russia
Posted On 15 Nov 2017
All right, so let’s face some facts. Yes, Vladimir Putin is what we would call a “bad dude.” Yes, Russia almost certainly played some part in attempting to swing the results of the 2016 election through a combination of social media blathering and, perhaps, hacking into a few poorly-secured email accounts. Yes, we should all be very concerned about the annexation of Crimea and other forms of aggression toward Ukraine, and yes, the Russians are probably lying about how much they are helping U.S. forces wipe out ISIS in Syria. All told, the Russians are not to be liked and not to be trusted.
Whew.
But let’s face some other, less moralistic facts here. President Trump and the rest of the world need Russia’s cooperation if we are to limit North Korea’s ability to harness a nuclear arsenal capable of destroying three-quarters of the Northern Hemisphere. The U.S. could stand to cultivate an ally in Russia if we are to prevent ISIS from mounting a comeback in Syria, and it damn sure wouldn’t hurt if we could gently pry Moscow away from their partnership with Tehran. The fact is, if we don’t NEED Russia, it certainly doesn’t hurt us to keep an open and friendly line of diplomatic dialogue with them. And this would entirely uncontroversial, but for one thing.
And you know what that one thing is.
Democrats are bound and determined to prove that Donald Trump committed the heinous crime of treason when he collaborated with Russian officials to overthrow the rightfully-groomed heir to the Obama throne, Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton. And for that sin, there is no pardon. Not in their eyes. As far as their concerned, Trump has already been investigated, tried, and convicted. And so they see any attempt he makes to reach out to Putin – to even mention Putin in a less than dastardly light – as simply more evidence that Trump is little more than a Kremlin toady. Congress is trying – in a bipartisan fashion – to handcuff the president’s hands when it comes to Russia, making this the first time in known memory that the President of the United States has been denied the full diplomatic power of the White House.
The title of this article is meant somewhat facetiously – we cannot afford to be so naïve as to actually “love” Russia as a friend, because they have shown no interest in being a true friend to the United States. But that does not automatically make them our enemy, either. The U.S. doesn’t need to cultivate enemies; we have plenty of them to worry about. So let’s spend less time building up tensions with Moscow and more time repairing the damage done by the previous administration’s blunders across the sea.
A previous President said, “trust but verify”. In this world, as in business, you don’t have to like somebody to get along with them. Mutual goals, peace, security, aid when needed, development of common interests, can lead to friendship, even real trust. Governments who learn to get along can be the leaders the world needs to survive.
We can never trust a communist country, period. But we can respect their clout in a few situations, very few.
Remember, Russia was an ally during WWII. Didn’t learn that, I guess.
They were an ally then because we were united against the Axis Powers of Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan, but when the war ended, Josef Stalin immediately turned his back and revealed his true intention of trying to communize the countries on his western border. He eventually became known as one of the worst monsters in history. The rest is history.
They are an enemy, but they still should be an ally. Which is all kind of funny as the current DemonRAT party IS the communist party.
I think you will find a big difference between Russian Communism and Chinas . China is preparing to be the number one in Military and Manufacturing and they are well on the way for that . Pictures of their Military Shipyards and Airplane manufacturing proves it . China has built 2 military base off shore and working on a third . They also have increased their military Personal . Xi from China and Iran are the ones to watch more than Putin .Now the Arab Prince is going wild in his Country , The Worlds political leaders are going crazy .
We cannot afford to let our guard down….EVER…..and that’s why we need to act together with all of our friends and allies. When you relax your vigilance and become lax, they will find your weak spot and they will strike. It’s what we would do!
Since the last eight years of Obama, I don’t think we really have any Allies. Some pretend to be because of all the money we give them. And therein, is the cause of many of the problems. All our Foreign Policy People veer did when dealing with other countries, was, How much can we give you to do this, OR how much can we give you to stop doing that.
The last three presidents were the worst of the bunch and now the USA is paying for it big time Thank the market boys for it “big time” , they sold us out to China .
True. Still we ‘can’ bond against a ‘common enemy’ and that has been proven as well. Once that ‘enemy’ is defeated, we know it’s probably ‘business as usual’ between the two countries. Right now–Not only do we have ISIS and N. Korea to contend with but a much more ‘subtle’ enemy sweeping all continents!! The ‘Muslim’ hoards are a very ‘real and present’ danger. Not only to Africa, Europe, Med. countries, the Nordic nations but America and Russia as well. The media, who ‘should’ be playing the part of an ‘early warning’ system, are letting us down. Acting, in effect, as traitors to the ‘free world’!
It is also worth noting that at the beginning of WWII they had a pact with Nazi Germany to invade Poland & divide it between themselves. The extreme greed of each side was what led to Russia turning against Germany & turning to the Allies.
We need to remember that the Russians have never trusted anyone. They have never known freedom, or at least the kinds of freedom so long enjoyed by Western democracies. Vladimir Putin has made no secret of the fact that he wants to return Mother Russia to the greatness of the Stalin era, and his past performance proves it.
The provocative overflights by their military aircraft and their naval fleet shadowers are commonplace, of course, and have been for years. It’s a known fact that we do the same to them, and so the situation remains as it has always has been. Neither side completely trusts the other.
It seems the entire World is in a mess. And because of our Politicians, most Countries hate us, even more so than they hate other countries. There will never be Global Peace, until Jesus returns.
As soon as Trump starts his war with Korea, Putin will attack us. Putin knows Trump is an idiot that’s why he wanted Trump to win.
No, in a recent American Journalistic interview with Pres. Putin is on record as saying he will never attack the U.S. on his own as he knows the U.S. has the same serious trouble with the same idiots attempting to defend their dying N.W.O. Satanic agenda, as Russia has. Putin is also on record for not liking the false Israeli and the Pope, whom he has described as dangerous by ‘promoting communism in the name of Vatican control’. He is adamant the Russian Church is NOT Catholic and never will be attached to Rome, even if this means another religious war. If any attacking is to be done, it is said that it will be Satan attacking White Russia and at this time Putin will be obliged to come out fighting to put the matter straight in defense of Christ. Ever wonder why there are American Christians who joke about purchasing bumper stickers for their cars that read: “Putin for President” ?
And you believe that. Putin is dealing with an idiot and he knows it
Putin knew he was dealing with an ‘idiot’ when Obama was president!! It was written all over his face in every photo taken while speaking with ‘O’!! He knew he could, and was, ‘playing’ him for everything he could!! Putin has shown nothing but ‘respect’ for Pres Trump. He may not ‘like’ Trump but he does respect him!!
Yea right
He didn’t like Obama because Obama was not in debt to Putin. Putin had no clout over Obama and was dealing with a superior intellect.
Putin has no respect for Trump. Trump is merely a pawn for Putin. Trump is doing Putin’s bidding, perhaps unwittingly, but is helping Putin tear the west apart.
Like Trump will not believe even HIS OWN CIA director that Putin interfered in the 2016 election, but takes Putin’s word for it.
Yeah right.
This is ridiculous! Treason is treason. If you collude with a foreign agent to swing an election in your favor that is treason! And just why do you think the Russians love Trump? Is it because he somehow shares their ideals? Or is it because he is very easy to manipulate and can be counted on to divide this country making it that much easier to conquer.
The divider in charge finally left the White House after ten years of underming the American way of life, increasing racial strife, selling out the United States everywhere he traveled around the world. Obama damaged this country in ways that we may never recover from.
One year later there is still no proven collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia. The investigation should end.
All this Leftist nonsense because the most unqualified, corrupt, deceitful, power hungry politician in the history of the US was not corenated “queen” as she had a divine right to be needs to stop. We should thank the powers that exist that Hillary is NOT in the White House, I certainly do every day.
ME TOO!!!! 😀
Very True, but there IS Proof that the Obama Administration DID collude with Russia. People like SAM just like to hear their heads rattle when the talk or think, because they never admit to the truth, but like to spread lies !
Yes there is proof, All you have to read and (this is the hard part for you) believe in facts and evidence.
It is always good to see that there is one person out there who can be judge and jury when the entire Muller machine has yet to even suggest there is collusion or any other actual wrong doing. Reading is very easy, drawing your own wrong conclusions takes a talent this one does not possess.
Really? Do you get your information exclusively from Breitbart/WND/Fox/Drudge? You won’t hear from them the stuff Mueller has on Trump and his cronies.
“According to court documents related to Papadopoulos’ guilty plea, he reported to Clovis in an email on a March 24, 2016, meeting he had in London with a professor later identified as Joseph Mifsud.
Mifsud in turn introduced him to a Russian woman and the Russian ambassador in London, and they discussed setting up meetings
to talk about U.S.-Russia ties in a Trump presidency.”

How many times has Sessions (who was on Trump’s campaign team) “forgot” about meetings with Russia when asked about them under oath.
How many times has Jared Kushner failed to disclose Russian connections on his security forms? Do you know that he still only has a temporary security clearance?
“As the FBI continues its investigation into possible Russian collusion into the 2016 investigation, Kushner’s own dealings and conversations with government officials have made him a “person of interest.”
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/11/17/jared-kushners-ties-to-white-house-link-to-russia-investigation.html
You know why Mike Flynn was fired? And why the acting AG warned the Trump administration he could be compromised?
Have you read about Don Jr’s June 2016 meeting at Trump tower with Russians?
And does it not even pique your interest that Trump rejects his own CIA director’s word and accepts Putin’s?
There is tons more evidence about Trump’s wrongdoing than there is about Hillary.
“yet to even suggest…” Gees you’re gullible.
Typical ‘lib’ technique!! Accusing ‘others’ of being ‘gullible’, all the while ‘being gullible’!! LOL!!
Really? Well, you’re probably right that he doesn’t “trust” Putin, but sure defers to him over the institutions that are at the heart of the republic he swore to defend and protect.
And what corruption has been exposed?
I agree, but he has sure added to it.
Mueller runs a tight ship. Unlike Trump, he has consummate professionals working for him. They know what it takes to prosecute cases successfully. And that does not include premature release of information. It does include, as he as done, letting the big fish know that the smaller fish are under indictment, have copped a plea or otherwise shown that they are cooperating. That is hardly “empty”.
Mueller is not running a reality show.
Are you old enough to remember special prosecutor Archibald Cox? He was fired by Nixon (actually Robert Bork since no one in the original chain of command would do so) when Cox went into “areas he had no business going into.” That whole thing started with a “third rate burglary” and ended up with the resignation of a president.
And then we have the Ken Starr investigation into Bill Clinton? It started with investigation into Whitewater. It moved into all sorts of areas but ended up with Clinton’s impeachment over the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Yeah, special prosecutors do go into many areas. This is not unique to Mueller.
It’s about using sources that will not be automatically rejected by you as “Lame Stream Media”.
Do you drive a car or walk? I am trying to figure out how you get anywhere other than a circle as you can obviously only make left turns regardless of where the path leads.
Oh how clever.
I guess I will not hold my breath for you to provide anything that refutes what I say.
You and I both know why. You can’t so you come up with your “clever” ditty.
You have not said or proved anything except people met with people. When you acknowledge how much money the Clintons and others (most likely Obama) made from their arrangements with Russia then we could start to have a discussion.
Again, since you obviously did not read it the first time, there is no proof the Trump Campaign colluted with Russia. The Manafort/Carter charges are from years before Trump was ever involved directly in politics.
You have TDS for which there seems to be no cure.
Ahhh…but first you have to provide evidence that they DID. You’re making the claim, it is incumbent upon you to provide such evidence.
“Hitchens’s razor is an epistemological razor asserting that the burden of proof
regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the
claim and if this burden is not met, the claim is unfounded and its
opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it.”
Moving the goalposts, are we? You claimed earlier there was “nothing to suggest” collusion. That’s what I read. That’s what I supplied…something to “suggest” collusion.
Proof will come. Please read my response to Deborah Pratt.
Gullible plain gullible.
Obama and Hillary divided this country long before Donald Trump came on the scene!! Of course it took a great many uneducated, resentful ‘losers’ to believe all the ‘crap’ they fed them!! Fine example–Michelle standing there telling the ‘uneducated’ how the ‘White House’ was built by ‘black slaves’!! Enough said!! Disgusting!!
You don’t believe black slaves worked on the White House?
https://www.whitehousehistory.org/press-room/press-fact-sheets/slavery-and-the-white-house
Jan, it’s on ‘official’ White House records–‘white’ Irish immigrants worked in building the White House. They were ‘paid labor’!!! There were a very few ‘black’ laborers but they, too, were ‘paid’ for their work!! It has nothing to do with my ‘personal beliefs’–its in the ‘records’!! ‘Paid’ laborers are NOT ‘slaves’, as Michelle would have the gullible ‘black’ population believe!! Hard to believe someone living in the White House could be so ignorant of its history before opening her mouth!
And did you bother to read the link of White House history I provided? Evidently not.
Here…
“The District of Columbia commissioners, charged by Congress with building the new city under the direction of the president, initially planned to import workers from Europe to meet their labor needs. However, response to recruitment was dismal and soon they turned to African-Americans— slave and free—to provide the bulk of labor that built the White House,”
“Presidents Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Tyler, Polk, and Taylor relied on slave labor in the White House. The enslaved persons and families lived in the basement/ground floor of the White House”
Yes, slave labor was used to build and maintain the place. Was it used exclusively? No. Was it used? Yes.
(Emphasis added)
If Russia is so hated by Democrats why was Obama caught on open mic making a deal with putin. Why did Obama ok Hillary to sale them 20% of our uranium that we need. It went to iran as Obama set it up to do. Why did Russia put 20million into the Clinton foundation after the sale of our uranium and not into the Treasury? Why are we wasting time investigating Trump when Obama and Hillary are the real crooks. And everyone knows it
As we know, Dems often engage by accusing Republicans of exactly what Dems Are Doing! Let it be a “Sign” as to what Dems are doing and research to prove Dems’ guilt…which Dems use to Confuse and Distract so people won’t know what to believe.
Since the elections, it seems most people have learned about the old ‘point and blame’ trick the left loves so much!! Now, when they pull it–we DO turn and ‘look’ at them with the thought–‘What are they up to now?’ Thing is, the ‘left’ is slow to learn, it seems. They still think it ‘works’ and keep doing it. Maybe it’s because they don’t have a ‘new trick’ to try on us!! Hillary just tried the–‘I take full responsibility, but it’s everyone else’s fault’!! Well, that didn’t ‘work’, either! LOL
Deborah, I believe the real problem is the vast majority of both parties are not Christians, & have proved it for quite some time now. These Anti-God people are too stupid to realize, by doing what they have been doing, has only gotten to the point that God is giving them ONE MORE CHANCE to straighten up, or he will destroy what is left of it. I truly believe God is the reason Trump was able to wade through all of the Republicans in the primaries, & then beat Hillary, when she was ahead in most of the polls. I Pray for GOD to watch over & Guide Trump, & help him Drain the Swamp !
At the risk of being thought ‘crazy’, Steve, I’ll tell you something. Ever since I was a tiny child–I’ve been a ‘visionary’. During the campaigns, while D. Trump was giving a speech–I ‘saw’ the Arch-angle, Michael, (a ‘warrior’) standing behind him. His sword was drawn and his shield raised! He had a very ‘stern’ look on his face. I could hardly believe what I was ‘seeing’. I wondered if anyone else saw him. At the time, I was neither ‘for’ or ‘against’ Trump. I was simply listening to the candidates and ‘weighing’ what was being said and done. I must admit–this ‘vision’ made up my mind and I knew Trump was going to win the election. Pres Trump has ‘friends’ in very ‘high places’, so we need to keep our faith. This isn’t just about Pres Trump–this is about ‘America’ and her people. Yes–we are fighting Satan and his minions. I’ve never been a ‘religious’ person but I know what I saw and I know ‘right’ from ‘wrong’!!
I am truly an Independent, but registered as a Republican, so I could vote in the primaries. Neither Party is worth a damn, with the Liberal Democrats being by far the worst of the two. But so far the Republicans are not helping President Trump with anything. Time for we the people to clean house in DC !
We know that? Specifics please.
Right, & why hasn’t Sessions already appointed a special Council to investigate all of this, when there is Proof of all that went on ? I have said it before, & will say it again. There really is only ONE Party in DC. All they do is pretend to be different from each other. Out of the 535 members in Congress I doubt 25 of them could really be trusted.
Actually, Obama’s message was to then president of Russia, Medyedev. Putin was far less cooperative with Obama. There have been friendly overtures from both sides from time to time that inevitably get derailed at some point every time. Sad
1. She did not sell any uranium to anyone. Not a gram left US control under that deal. No export license was issued.
2. The sale of mining rights was approved unanimously by a nine member cabinet level committee known as CFIUS.
3. Even if HRC had represented Dept. of State personally on CFIUS (and she did not), she did not have the authority to green light the sale. The decision of the committee had to be unanimous. The best she could have done (if she was on the committee, which she was not) was vote “no” thus sending the decision to Obama.
4. Russia did not put $20 million into the Clinton Foundation. The bulk of the money that went to the CF was from a guy named Frank Guistra. He divested himself of Uranium One 18 months before she became Sec. of State. He had no dog in that fight.
Here’s a source regarding this deal you may respect…Fox News.
https://youtu.be/RnsAZzsdI1U
Because Obama was a traitorous ankle grabber.
There’s more..,never mind the Russians. Let’s paint the whole picture. Where did ole Bill spend three years of his ‘education ‘ ?? China, as in Red China , who did he allow top secret weapons plans to go by giving two known spies top security clearance ? Why does killery still have top security clearances? Does ole Bill ? Does obammy ? Obammy and killery ‘allowed’ Democratic countries in south america to be overthrown by communist forces. Where now the terrorists are in a large way entering the US through Mexico….Who thinks that was an accident? The Democratic party is more socialist than Democratic anymore and openly school curriculums especially colleges are pro socialistic. Closer to communism actually. Also during the coup killery had the sitting President flown out in exchange for his singing over title to all the media holdings he owned…….to her….. Bet you didn’t know that did you ? By the way does it make sense we as a nation indebt ourselves to a communist nation ??? It being China ? ? ? Didn’t we have allies who are democratic with deep pockets at the time ????? Why not do what President Trump is doing to level the plying field on shipping and receiving, tariffs etc.
Never thought so many Americans are this gullible, easily played. The Cold War “ended” with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the armament makers & vast military/intel services quaked in their boots. Going out of business, heh? Or scaled too way down for profit and comfort? Back to the drawing board! The moribund NATO was rejigged, to harness the former Soviet states to join and encircle Russia and then ask for NATO protection. Against who? The feeble and febrile government of the drunken Yelstin and the oligarchs busy gobbling up states assets? No, the plan was the Cold War be re-installed. Provoke Russia in Georgia led by a CIA stooge. Kosovo, etc. But Ukraine was the main prize. Billions were expended to foment regime change, bring it into western/EU orbit. The ultimate was how to get Ukraine to kick Russia out of the strategic warm water Black Sea. Putin checkmated and took the Crimea.
Russia, even under the autocratic Putin, remains a natural ally of the west. It’s a Christian country. Their culture has given much to the West. But no, stateside détente/cooperation isn’t good for the armament industry so Trump and Putin mustn’t be allowed to be friends. Vast resources are being expended to stoke in divisions daily. Hacking? Gee, if you’re aware what CIA techies can do to make a blitz of hacking appear coming from Moscow … But ah, but we are a nation of gullibles so why should we allow the bogey “Communist” fear to ever go away. We need it, we need it.
The only ones ‘needing’ the ‘bogeyman Russia’ are the leftist. Personally, I resent being ‘roped in’ with that group!! I grew up with ‘Russia’ being the ‘enemy’ but, you know–over the years I, and many like me, have matured. Still, It’s Hillary hoping to stampede the ‘sheeple’ with ‘The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming’ yell from her podium!! I’ll bet she still watches the old ‘Russian spy’ movies, too. Recently, she made the ridiculous comment of seeing herself as a ‘female’ version of Paul Revere!! It’s been a few years since studying American History but, I don’t remember Paul ever ‘colluding’ with the English to overthrow our American government!! So, once again–Hillary comes across as a ‘fool’ and a hypocrite!! What’s new? I don’t blame Putin for his contempt toward Obama and Hillary. It was well earned. He knew them far better than we did! Still, Putin’s attitude toward Pres Trump has been of respect. Putin isn’t ‘cowering’ but shows a respectful attitude. I don’t believe either side ‘trusts’ the other but, for the first time–I do believe our countries can work together on ‘common’ ground.
Hillary is a very Amoral person, & along with the idiots we have in Congress, especially during the Obama Administration, have done so much damage to this Country, I am beginning to doubt it can ever be straightened out. Poor Trump, has a whole damn army in DC to fight, with very little help from any of the Jerks in Congress.
The only ‘help’ coming from Congress is–‘out the door’!! As Trump goes–so goes the country!! What is really ‘stupid’ is that the people in our government thinking they’ll survive such an event!!! If ‘enemy’ forces–including the Clinton/Obama elitist, do take over–the first ones to go will be members of the Senate and Congress!! Just don’t under-estimate Pres Trump!! Remember, Hillary and ‘O’ did and see what happened there!! He is a formidable foe and has been under-estimated many times! Still, I agree, his has been the most difficult presidency in our history and, most likely, will continue to be.
Hillary is sub-zero in the equation, going forward. A pathetic spent screaming furie. Her own party knows how destructive she’s been and has kicked her under the bus. Ultimately she and Bill will be lucky to avoid jail for very serious crimes and not for the private server and electoral shenanigans.
I wouldn’t worry too much about DJT who despite himself will be the most transformational post war POTUS. The window his detractors, including RINOs, had in their determination to destroy him closed a way back. He holds all the cards now, and either they fall in line or are swept out with the swamp waters. Dirty cop Mueller? Right now he’s more fearful of what Trump can do to him than vice versa. The day he becomes so reckless as to indict Trump Jnr, or Gen Flynn, marks the countdown to his own ignominous demise. The indictment of Manafort? Smoke & mirrors.
Our members of Congress recently set more sanctions against Russia. BIG MISTAKE ! Now Putin, who sounded like he would have liked to work with Trump, has gone to China & other countries, that are against the USA. Leave it to our stupid elected members of Congress to make sure Russia would be our enemy. If these people had any part of a brain, they would try to become Allies with Russia, & quit playing the Blame Game. We all need to help Trump clean out the Rats in the sewer we call Congress.
This is all obviously part of their attempt to make Pres Trump look inept and keep a rift between him and Putin!! It’s not ‘stupidity’, I’d accept that! It’s deliberate! It’s keeping America vulnerable to ‘attack’ from with-in and keeping our citizens divided. It is critical that we get Congress ‘cleaned up’!! They are traitors and all part of the Obama/Clinton ‘One World Order’ scheme. Still, seeing more ‘supporters’ entering our political arena–I have hope.
Establishment people R still desperately looking 4 an enemy 2 arm against. They want so badly 2 get along, go along, and condemn USA! and the world at large 2 another couple generations of arms race. BECAUSE
They don’t want any resources 2 B left over 4 democratic development.
I keep getting whiffs of something from Ukraine. It’s partition. Anyone else smell what I’m smellin’?
There’s a lot of money invested by Russia into stoking division within the US. And also to promulgate the propaganda which you’re spreading yourself.
There have been mistakes on both sides, for example the US’s knee-jerk reaction to automatically support the adversary of Russia or Russia’s allies even when it was Muslim & the threat to the US & world by Islamicists had already surpassed that from Russian Communism. It seems that every opportunity for cooperation between the 2 countries gets sabotaged at some point & both nations are to blame.
It is quite obvious through his actions that Putin sees his dream of Russia regaining superpower status as requiring the diminution of US prosperity & influence, & as long as he continues to look at it that way, Russia will continue to be our enemy for all intensive purposes.
If you insist on attacking Putin then you are also attacking his beloved Russian Orthodox Christian Church. If he retaliates against evil America and its so-called ‘democracy’, then he may help fellow Christians out by attacking the anti-Christians in the West too. One must admit, Leftists HATE CHRISTIANS and their White Russian cousins! Isn’t that what this ‘war’ is all about – Sheep vs. Goats? Oh, and while you are at it, check out the Canadian Broadcasting Corp’s documentaries on Putin. Yet another smear documentary is going to be aired this Friday. The CBC obviously HATES Christians and the values they stand for–they do LOVE their tax payer money to keep them going, however. No wonder their is a patriotic call to boycott anything to do with the CBC and to complain to the CRTC about their broadcasting bias.
It’s sad what sonny Trudeau is doing to his father’s legacy. Justin is another empty suit the gnomes who run Canada via the banks and corporations and who own the MSM funded and put into office. Justin wasn’t only full of marijuana when he entered parliament he’s always been a coke head too. He and his libtards hate Christianity and seek to dilute its presence in the West with influx of immigrants from non Christian nations who are prioritized under Justin. His govt seeks to criminalize Canadians who wd refuse to address a transgender, a binary, a multigender, etc by the apellation or pronoun that particular sicko insists to be called. iow, he’s taking away the right of others to have own opinion while imposing the right of opinion of a tiny minority on the majority. But wait the backlash isn’t far off. The silent majority stay silent for only so long.
I don’t think Russia is over run with Muslims like the US – EU – Africa – India and far east Countries .
No, Russia has made sure they weren’t!! Putin has strict restrictions on immigration and it doesn’t include Muslim immigrants.
RUSSIA,RUSSIA,RUSSIA. HAHAHAHAHAHA
HE WILL USE THEIR WORTHLESS ASSES FOR CANNON FODDER – WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE1
The same applies to the Chinese and the Japanese. They won’t have Muslims.
Actually they have a much larger contingent of Muslims than we do, especially in the southern part of their country, like Chechnya & Dagestan.
And that is where they keep them .
Ruthlessly, I might add.
Russia and China do NOT kiss up to the UN like the US and EU . Poland just had a big demonstration to get them out of the country .
No, & they don’t have as much regard (if any) for human rights, either.
By “them” (in the sentence about Poland), whom do you mean? Russia? China? US? UN? Muslims?
Muslims , Poles want them gone .
That’s true of many European nations.
Did you realize that Muslims in the US have historically gotten along much better with US citizens & adjusted much better to US culture than European Muslims have gotten along in Europe or adjusted to European culture? At least until recently there’s been much less discrimination against Muslims in the US than in Europe. That is something we should be proud of.
LMAO…keep telling yourself that lie! The Muslims have a goal. Maybe someday you’ll figure it out. Just remember, the only good Muslim, is a dead Muslim!
YEAH BUDDY!!!! WITH 2 LARGE CALIBER HOLES TO THE LEFT OF DEAD CENTER CHEST. JUST RIGHT TO TAKE OUT THE VITALS
The Muslims I know want to lead a good, moral, healthy life & are not interested in jihad or Islamicizing the world.
You don’t know much about history. That shows. The long range plan, of the Muslims, is to make Islam the religion of the world. There were several specials on it a few years back, but you hate history.
Those are the Islamicists who want to spread Islam around the world taking control of nations one by one. ISIS is 1 of those Islamicist groups. They are definitely something to fear, & we should take proper precautions against them. But don’t conflate them with ordinary Muslims.
you are full of crap
I’m sorry you don’t have any pride or admiration for our system of justice & democratic principles that have built this relatively enlightened multicultural society. I notice all too many people who want to tear it down & replace it with a society of clans & tribes hostile to one another.
Did you know that Muslims, in the USA are out lawed!.. 1952 I believe the law was passed to Bar them from US. .Carter started it all in 1979..
I wondered where you got that fanciful idea, so I looked & found out:
https://www.snopes.com/islam-banned-u-s-1952/
But it does look like Muslims were discouraged if not prohibited from entering the US long before that:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-anti-muslim-stance-echoes-a-us-law-from-the-1700s/2016/08/18/6da7b486-6585-11e6-8b27-bb8ba39497a2_story.html?utm_term=.ababd1e4a84a
THE WHOLE FRIGGIN WORLD WANTS THEM GONE EXCEPT FOR THEM.
I don’t know if there are any Muslims in Poland.
With the help of the UN they are spreading out while other countries are getting them out or limiting the numbers .60000 Poles demonstrated to remove them .
10-4 ON THAT. KEEP THE SCUMBAGS WHERE THEY BELONG- BACK UNDER A ROCK WHERE THEY LIVE.
I SAY OPEN SEASON ON THE TRASH!!!
Did not know there was a closed season ???
I LIKE THE WAY A PATRIOT THINKS!!
My White Russian Christian friends tell me Russia may not be overrun by this particular ethnic group located in the far regions of the Russian Federation–all those place names that end in ‘…stan’– but it is certainly overrun by another ethnic group(s) who have always hated White Christian Russians since 1919. They are proud that, thanks to Papa Putin and his support of the Church, there seems to be a Religious Revival going on in Russia today putting other so-called “Christian Nations” to shame. I understand that on two occasions, an American Evangelical Church took 1000 Bibles printed in Russian each time to distribute to Russian centers near St. Petersberg, and that they were given a standing ovation and an overwhelming reception by the people. These Russians went on to say that if anyone in their Government ever put a gun in their hand and ordered them to, ‘go UP over the North Pole and DOWN into the land of unwalled villages (Canada)’ as the Bible warns, that they would not do it if it meant killing fellow Christians, but they would take that gun and turn it on their own devils instead. I hope my Russian friends are correct in their observations. Seems we cannot avoid facing some sort of Anti-Christian vs. Christian show-down any day soon.
We did have Satan ruling for 8 years and Billy boy was not far from that either . According to a article about Putin ,he is a man of faith and supports the Russian Church .
Clearly for you it’s church before country.
IF WE WOULD KEEP ALL THE CHURCH GARBAGE OUT OF THE ISSUE – MAYBE WE WOULD BE GETTING ALL THE BULLSHIT FROM THEM. THE REAL SOURCE OF THE ISSUE IS WITH RELIGIONS ON BOTH SIDES. ONE SAYS HIS RELIGION IS THE BEST- THEN THE OTHER SIDE SAYS THE SAME THING AND THEN THE FIGHTING STARTS AND THE KILLING CONTINUES – ALL BECAUSE THE RELIGION ISSUE CAN’T BE KEPT FOR SUNDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS. RELIGION HAS BEEN THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS IN WARS FOR CENTURIES. WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN- TO JUST SHUT THE F UP ABOUT YOUR RELIGION AND THEIR RELIGIONS. KEEP THE BS CRAP TO YOUR SELVES
Building America means with good relations globally. we learn from one another, then move on to greater heights in life.
I have to take issue with many of the accusations made in this article. First, the Russians had no need to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election. The Democrats hacked themselves by forcing upon their supporters the most vile, corrupt psychopath who ever wore a Maoist uniform as that party’s candidate, and then implementing a massive vote-fraud scheme in the attempt to put that corrupt creature in the White House by seeing that illegal aliens and dead people voted for their corrupt candidate.
Then, there is the obvious lie: As far as who is trying to start WW3, look at the facts. Mr. Putin is putting a great deal of effort into peaceful resolution of several crisis matters around the world. He has also given the assistance needed to smash ISIS terrorists in Syria and Iraq. The US government has been caught actually SUPPLYING and ASSISTING ISIS.
Next is military aggression. Am I the only person who has noticed how close the Russians have put their country to the newest American/NATO military bases. Am I the only person with enough guts to ask WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IF PEACE IS THE GOAL? If anyone is interested in the TRUTH, here it is in all of its hideous glory…
All of the crap is being instigated because of one nation-saving act committed by Vladimir V. Putin, and that act was to THROW THE ZIONIST INTERNATIONAL BANKERS OUT OF HIS COUNTRY SO THEY COULD NO LONGER LOOT THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY LIKE THEY DO HERE IN THE WESTERN COUNTRIES. So, those bankers, through the news outfits they own, begin their smear campaign against anyone who dares defy them and their unbridled thefts.
Before anyone gets the wrong idea – I am NOT one of those Putin cultists who think he is the messiah returned. I just refuse to automatically believe, without question, anything the puppets on the nightly news tell us.I think for myself, and look for the facts. I just solemnly wish other ‘adults” would try doing that. Then, just maybe, I won’t have to hear so much baaing from the sheeple….
As long as we have ‘sheeple’ for journalists–the ‘baaaing’ will continue full force!! Best way to deal—ignore them. We have ‘other’ news sources!!
I believe Putin is very much like Trump, both who are trying to do what is best for their Countries. Sadly, our Corrupt politicians don’t want to help Trump do so, for the USA.
“what do you mean, “when he collaborated with Russia…?” Who wrote this article? Hillary?
Maybe she was the ‘co-author’~!!!
What is it they say about keeping your enemies closer? I fear the Democratic Party far more than I fear Russia.
As Sir Winston Churchill said many years ago, “Countries don’t have friends. they have interests”. Enough said.
If you are too worried about the Russians, please consider that they help the Trump family launder money from the drug cartels and the Russian Mafia through Trump properties in Panama. This money goes to make some Americans richer. What could be wrong with that?
As usual your wires are crossed. Hillary, & eight others including Obama benefitted from dealings with Russia, & there is Proof of it. $ 145,000,000 went to the Clinton Foundation, from Russia, but how much of that was dispersed to the other eight, who signed off on the Uranium Deal is not known yet. Why is it you Liberals always post or say something which is NOT TRUE ?
Frank Guistra is Canadian.
While you’re ‘at it’, research a little more!! The Clintons funneled their funds through Canada TO Russia to cover their tracks!! They hoped it would throw off any ‘curious’ people who might start to ‘catch on’ to their dealings!! Glad you’re not the ‘investigating team’–it would have worked!! As a matter of fact, both Obama and Clinton were rather blatant about their Russian connections at the time. Not a thing was said against it either in the media or in Washington. This all became ‘bad’ when Pres Trump took office. Until then, it seemed to be just ‘fine’!! The ‘real frustration’ now is their inability to connect Pres Trump to any activities that ‘O’ and the Clintons’ were guilty of!! Double standards? You bet!! Pres Trump isn’t one of the Washington elite! They were trying to ‘unseat’ him even BEFORE he took office!!
And you know this how? What is your source for this information? I do know that Frank Guistra, the former Uranium One investor who gave the bulk of the money to the Foundation was Canadian. However, I found nothing to suggest he assisted in giving money to Russia.
Do you?
The “Trust, But Verify” motto, evoked during the Reagan-Gorbachev era of Soviet-American relations concerning the issues of mutual, nuclear disarmament, should have taught us, or should teach us, that life is short and it is a lot shorter when conflict and war impose greater brevity and that, without sincere, honest respect and a desire to maintain good relations for mutual benefit, a resumption of “cold war” hostilities and distrust based on ideological differences will result.
Americans who served in Viet Nam have been allowed to return to Viet Nam in order to “get closure” on an era which was a tremendous tragedy for both nations. Bitterness and resentment would be a normal, longstanding sentiment which, in many, if not most cases would prevent any kind of reconciliation. Fortunately, according to media reports, former enemies have actually become friends despite the enduring wounds of war.
The lesson to be taken is that American leadership, at any time and in any party, needs to really understand the impact that ignorant, wasteful, purposeless policies have on human beings.
No thinking person really believes that the Russians had anything to do with the election of 2016. The intelligence community has presented no documented evidence supporting such allegations and we have been subject to just another congressional waste of taxpayer money for an investigation which has given satisfaction to no one except liberals who could care less about the cost of their maintenance of the power of confusion necessary to sustain it.
No self-respecting court would allow such a waste of time. It is more than obvious that this is reaction of sore losers. Government is not a game and we need to stop treating the survival of the country as such.
It seems to me that Pres Trump has the intelligence and awareness to know how to keep a ‘balanced’ relationship with foreign leaders, when allowed to. Of course, Kim Jung Un is an obvious exemption, since he has no intention of forming a ‘working’ relationship with any other country. Still, under present circumstances, Russia is willing to work on ‘common ground’ for the benefit of both our countries. I would suggest such a union will be necessary in the future. Looking at Europe–I’m thinking we haven’t seen the ‘worst’ yet!!
We are hated by most of the Countries in the World, because of our Corrupt politicians.
I don’t know if ‘hated’ is the ‘right word’! I do know that, thanks to Obama and Bush, especially, we’ve certainly lost their respect!! The Arab nations in particular, have been laughing behind our backs. Actually, photographed laughing openly, when Obama ‘bowed’ to them!! Winning back that respect is going to be a long, hard road for us!! Since Pres Trump took office–‘surface’ respect is being shown. However, I believe we’re going to need to prove we are worthy before it becomes genuine!! This bickering and attacking one another within our own government isn’t gaining any respect from anyone. Not even our own citizens!! It could have been predicted, though. Any major ‘shake-up’ within a government often turns their members against one another. All in an attempt to avoid their own guilt and corruption being exposed!! House-cleaning of this magnitude is incredibly difficult!!
That would be the pot callingthe kettle black.
If Russia had anything to do with the election, it was to help Clinton. And even with that, she still lost. Just proves the citizens of the U.S. realize what a miserable wretch she is.
Two things the Clintons never saw ‘coming’!! Trump and the ‘silent majority’ who have had enough of her ‘kind’ running this country!! Surprise!!
True, but sadly it doesn’t even FAZE these corrupt people in DC. Most of them don’t give a damn about what we say or think. They all think they are above the laws of this land & pay No attention to the Constitution, & it is not just the Clintons !
You are correct. Dont leave out the
pri iledged lives they lead at taxpayer expense. Of course they dont want trump to.drain the swamp.
Reagan said it right, Trust but verify. Parastroika?
He who stroikas first, stroikas best.
OH PLEASE I AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT RUSSIA THE DEMOCRAT ARE GOING TO HARP ON THIS IT IS THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE LET IT GO
Me too….russia hacked..colluded, tweeted blah, blah blah. It is tedious, repetitive, trite and boring.
Russia is willing for America to be America / THOSE against Russia want America ended ,MANY want islamica . I WANT AMERICA !
Yeah, sure. We are not all traitors.
Anyone that voted for that bag eared traitor obeyme and was going to follow up with the thieving, lying sack’o $hit hiLIARy is pretty much that…
In Russia it’s their leaders: in America we have had so many we don’t know which way is up!
Well, I learned to love the bomb so I suppose I could learn to love Russia.
I agree. We have enough with Iran and No. Korea. McCain and others are a royal disgrace.
Putin is a better man that Obama, the Muslim is
I just wish writers would get off the Russia kick. Whether we like it or not Putin wants the best for his country. We may not approve of him or his methods but we don’t have to. We need to pay more attention on the crooked Washinton elites and the bottom dwellers that want world government!
we all of America would like to see some kindness and understanding for what we did to save the lives of many millions since the 1917 revolt!
Russians are more Christian than Americans? Not so. Just ask the pious, deeply religious “SNUFFER” (below) who
showers his fondness on all of us.
After reading several comments on this string I will once again advise everyone to go out and buy the book Crazy House, By James Patterson
When you get to the end you will relise
What the DemonRats have been trying to do all these years. Yes you Liberals you should go out and get and read it also, maybe you will relise how foolish you have been! !!!!!!!!!!!!
Putin is the most logical friend for the US among all of “western civilization,” as he is the only world leader attempting to prevent the downfall of it all. This “false flag” of “evil” Russia is all lies and half truths. There is an agenda to destroy our civilization by establishing a world without borders, with a tight and cutthroat oligarchy running it all, while almost every survivor is enslaved. I’m hoping that our President realizes this, and will find a way to a friendly alliance with Russia. Our media is part of the problem, BTW. (as is the dark side of Zionism).
