I think a touch of isolationism is a good thing. But appeasement can become a very slippery slope.
Russia is not who we should be worried about.
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.
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.

First mention of Bush in the thread! Hooray!
Free game now.
That will never happen Because Russia knows in return we would destroy them...........
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 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?
There were Democrats sitting in the White House when we found ourselves in WW l and WW ll.
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..
Can anyone imagine a couple of dirty nukes exploding in New York or LA....Those cities would be uninhabitable for a thousand years.
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.
I don't think you understand how dirty bombs work.
Your sample size of TWO is duly noted.
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.

A neutron bomb is VASTLY more sophisticated than a dirty bomb.The neutron bomb would meet the definition of a dirty bomb. I wonder if we have any still in our inventory ?

Oy vey.
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.
There are parts of both of those wretched cities that could only be improved by such an occurrence.
Yet you still stated that a neutron bomb "would meet the definition of a dirty bomb"?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.
