Americans Increasingly See Russia as Threat, Top U.S. Enemy

And by this you mean "allow Russian imperialistic expansionism through aggressive wars of conquest go unchecked."

There's nothing you can do about Russia. Sit this out.
 
We'll now, that has never been documented, we'll likely never know the toll of the British empires imperialisation of 3/4 of this planet. Dead people don't talk. I'm really unmoved by your blind support of hypocritical policy other than to say, your days coming, no one stays on top for ever.

Care to provide a single example where the British engaged in industrialized mass murder of civilians the way that Hitler, Stalin, or Mao did? Thought not.
 
Nobody killed 200,000 people during WW2 as swiftly as the us did, nobody. And I should have said Truman.

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved exponentially more lives than they took, not just in terms of the amount of American and Japanese lives saved by negating a need for an invasion but by the cost in lives that conventional bombing of the Japanese home islands was taking, and tens of thousands of lives that were lost monthly by the effects of the war; such as, starvation and disease due to shortages, blockades, and disruption in trade.

Furthermore; Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a drop in the bucket compared to the atrocities of the Japanese perpetrated across Asia and the Pacific, the flag of the rising sun is seen throughout the Pacific and Asia as the Swastika is seen in the West.
 
Again, instigating the break-up of Yugoslavia precipitated the violence that followed.

The temptation for fighting for freedom and away from Yugoslavia was always there. You think the experience of living under Serbia since the Ottoman's left was a great one? Have a look at the period since late 19th century all the way to the liberation in 1999 and you will see that the difference of the blood and gore from Serbian cleansing of 1999 and the one that started a century again is that the 1999 cleansing was telivised. That is it, that is all the difference there was for us natives of Dardania.

They just made the much deserved liberation that we yearned for centuries an available option. So again, that is very nice of them.

So you can blame that on Russia all you want, but as you can see, Russia's pushing back, Putin has drawn his line.

Russia now has to push back. Everyone is fed up from its brutal, medieval hegemony!
 
I've already corrected you on that. Believe as you wish.

Flogger is right, and you are wrong.

If you really live in USA as you claim then since I live here what I say should be more credible than your opinoin.
 
Well that and they were responsible for a combined death toll of over 500 million but hay what's a little apologetics for Hitler, Stalin, and Mao when you can bash the liberal democratic United States, how is it that your anti-Americanism is so virulent that you find yourself in the same corner as Hitler. Simply amazing.

It is so amazing that I cannot believe he is an American. What? Anyone can claim to be from another country!
 
Particularly loaning an unstable Argentine government Military jets.... The guys needs to learn some hard truths and these " sanctions" are not working. Putin tested the water back in 2008 with Georgia and now he is laughing in Nato's face.

What has astounded me since, is how the media and political elites in many EU countries almost totally ignored the implications of Putin and Georgia for Syria, Ukraine and the EU members bordering Russia.

As I pointed out, who was keeping track of the numbers of people killed by the British empire during the dark days of their colonisation of the WORLD!!!!?????

Regardless of your justification of those two bombings, of civilian targets. No WW11 despot killed as many people in the moments that those two bombs did. And if you can justify those travesties, then I suppose anybody can justify anything anytime.

As the separatists living in East Ukraine have a more credible opinion of things there than you do.

Because accepting responsibility is so un American, I know. I remember Obama being attacked and called un-American for daring to apologise to the Muslim world for past US aggressions when giving a speech in Egypt. Yes it's more manly and patriotic to deny and remain belligerent.
 
Rather comical that Inhofe would show pictures of tanks from 2008 in Ossetia and claim that they were from now in Ukraine, but then many comical things happen in the US Congress. :lol:

Of course they can be justified. Operation 'Coronet' the planned amphibious landings in Japan was going to cost a estimated 750,000 American lives and 3 - 5 million Japanese both civilian and military based on the US experiences on Okinawa. The bombs ended the need for such a bloody campaign. I know Paul Tibbets who flew the B29 Enola Gay on that fateful morning over Hiroshima said he never lost a nights sleep over what he did because of the far greater potential number of lives he knew were saved by it.

And I'm sure the Japanese had justification for their attack on PH. And I'm sure the Germans justified all the night bombing raids on London that hadn't a lot of military advantage.....................
 
But of course not the majority ethnic Ukrainian population living there though .........

They too may have a more credible opinion than triple D if he's right in what he said.

There is no moral equivalence whatsoever !

Are you seriously siding with the Germans here ?
 
Greece? Is he not from Serbia, or some other pro-Russian country or so?

The author is some Greek 'activist' who's cracked the code on what REALLY happened with regard to the breakup of Yugoslavia. Hint: It was a grand Western machination.

I'm siding with nobody. I'm saying that anybody can justify anything.

The founder of the organisation is an anti-imperialist, and a former US attorney general.

Only someone with a very dubious personal morality could ever hold that hold that to be true. Sounds a bit like people who in their defence once claimed ...' But I was only acting under orders' :(

Just because anybody can justify anything, doesn't make it just, hmm.
