I think a touch of isolationism is a good thing. But appeasement can become a very slippery slope.

Appeasement is a demonizing word for negotiation and compromise. Don't be bringing Chamberlain into this one. There are no comparisons between what Putin's doing, and what Hitler did. As to isolation, nobody that's an advocate of peace and diplomacy, wants to withdraw from engagement with the world in commerce, aid, mediation in conflict, addressing problems that effect everyone like climate change, environmental concerns, starvation, homelessness or aids, tourism or joint construction (not destruction) projects. Calling the advocate for peace an Isolationist is just the war hawks way of demonization.

Russia is the one who could annihilate us. North Korea or Hamas can make life rough for the city they set off their dirty bomb in or whatever.

Putin isn't Hitler, but Putin would like nothing better than to restore the old USSR. Would it bother me if tomorrow Putin and his armed forces invaded the Ukraine and brought it back under Russia's control. Not a bit, as far as I am concerned, the Ukraine in Russia's backyard and sphere of influence.

I think Obama has a serious golf addiction. A lefty like Obama moving to a heavily conservative Rancho Mirage. :thinking

And Obama's Congressional Representative will be a Republican. :lamo

But Obama will have close to fifty different golf courses to play on.

That's what they used to say about Eisenhower.

I thought he was a pretty good president.

Maybe we need to encourage the POTUS to go out and play golf more often instead of sitting around the oval office finding ways to get us into wars.

WWIII is not imminent, it's here. We're fighting it now. It isn't a shooting war, but an economic one.

and China is way ahead of the game just now.

That will never happen Because Russia knows in return we would destroy them...........

First mention of Bush in the thread! Hooray!

Free game now.

Either you are inflicted with short time memory loss, too much alcohol or pot can cause that or you didn't read or comprehend every post on this thread.

Bush (43) was mentioned when it was brought up that FDR conducting a regime change in Germany when Hitler came to power like Bush's regime change in Iraq.

People have believed in MAD and so far it has worked. It has worked only because we had sane leaders in both countries. There is no guarantee that will last.

You said you "remembered." Which would make you at least 110 to remember and have had political awareness.

BTW, you never said if you thought the opposition to WWII was good or bad. You blamed Democrats, so I guess you didn't like the war. If you did, you'd try to give Reagan credit for it.

You're having a bad day Rockett of comprehending of what you're reading of think what was said.

Here's my exact quote -> >"I don't ever remember Democrats being criticized for being in the White House during WW l, WW ll or the Korean War."<

And show everyone where I blamed the Democrats for WW l, WW ll or the Korean wars. You can't because you're trolling and making **** up again.
 
Montecresto said:
You said that during election cycles in the 60's 70's and 80's it was always pointed out that democrats got us into two world wars. Presumably this was republicans pointing this out as a criticism, no?
Click to expand...

Copy and paste where I said that Democrats "always" got us into wars.

What I pointed out was that a Democrat was in the White House when we went to war during WW l, WW ll, Korea and the Vietnam War. It's a fact. I didn't blame Wilson for WW l or FDR for WW ll or Truman for the Korean War.

Its amazing how you people are not concerned.....First of all we have a president who is totally incompetent especially when it comes to foreign policy.

Then we have the middle east exploding with Israel and the Arabs at each others throats. then we have the Russians and the Ukraine fighting with the Russians taking out passenger planes then we have Iran trying to get a nuke...I haven't even mention North Korea....

Then we have a POTUS who is epitome of the Manchurian Candidate and is clueless.......Other then that everything is just fine. .I don't know what it takes to get you pacifists attention..

I don't think you know what "pacifist" means.

Can anyone imagine a couple of dirty nukes exploding in New York or LA....Those cities would be uninhabitable for a thousand years.

I don't think you understand how dirty bombs work.

It's always been a derogatory label that fails. Americans were opposed to the US getting involved in another European war in the 30's, they were not against all the other ways that we could and should engage with the rest of the world. Essentially a nice way to criticize people who are fed up with war and its price. Again polls indicate that Americans are becoming fed up with war, and again the neo-cons, and warmongers, the hawks will be throwing out the slur along with references to Chamberlain.

It always takes America twenty or more years after a war before they are willing to fight another war.

It seems each generation has it's war. My grandfather who fought during WW l, it wasn't his generation war but they fought it.

The Greatest Generation fought their WW l fathers war since they were in political power at the time, that war being WW ll.

My generation (Baby Boomer) fought the Greatest Generation's war the Vietnam War.

Today's younger generation has been fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that the Baby Boomer generation sent them to fight.

My prediction is that when today's generation who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan will be in political power in twenty or so years and will send their sons to war.

Unless Obama keeps ****ing up and continues being derelict in his duties as CnC and China decides to move up their time line by ten or twenty years.

The neutron bomb would meet the definition of a dirty bomb. I wonder if we have any still in our inventory ?

Muslims consider the pork bombs to be dirty bombs. Probably why libs labeled the pork bomb as not being PC.

If you would have read all the post made on this thread you would have noticed I also included the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

I do remember back during the 60's when someone pointed out that a Republican was in the White House during America's bloodiest war in it's history. That would have been Abe Lincoln.

A neutron bomb is VASTLY more sophisticated than a dirty bomb.

A dirty bomb is simply radioactive material packed around conventional explosives - the radioactive material is basically enhanced shrapnel, if you will.

A neutron bomb, on the other hand, is actually a nuclear device, only designed to emit the majority of it's energy in the form of....neutrons.

I'm very well aware what the neutron bomb is, how it works and what it was designed for being used against. I was a young adult at the time when it was created, tested and revealed to the public when the debate began.

Yet you still stated that a neutron bomb "would meet the definition of a dirty bomb"?
 
No. I think now it is just America and her auxiliaries taking on the world, or so it seems. Until that changes, I just think it will appear the world is on the verge of a world war.
