Russia does a Flyby…

Russia does a Flyby…

So a Russian war plane did some flyby’s to show off for one of our ships in the black sea… Evidently Barack Obama drew some redlines around the ship, because Putin crossed those too.. Evidently Russia has a top gun pilot…

On one hand, I’m a bit angered by the event. The plane was within a thousands yards of our ship and we did what? We sent a stern tweet? Did the POTUS unfriend Putin? Did he call him on the bat phone? Vladimir Putin is playing a game with Obama that will have dire consequences should this game turn out wrong. On the other hand, I find myself respecting Putin for his honesty about his intentions, his desire to be a big player and for his move to fill a void in world leadership that is missing since 2007.

“Consequences” is a very key word. In a liberal mind, consequences are the result of other people’s decisions not theirs. For example, the Obamacare disaster is because Republicans didn’t or don’t help fix it. The economy is wrecked because the rich won’t pay up. Russia is aggressive because of weakness… etc..

The really sad part is, the United States is more vulnerable now than we have been since Pearl Harbor. We have the Islamic Radicals licking their chops, we have Russia, China, Iran all plotting to remove the USA from any power position and we have our POTUS playing their game blind….

bingo

But not to worry, we got gay marriage, Don’t ask Don’t Tell was repealed and Illegals are not being deported….If you consider those things accomplishments then he’s done those. Other than those things, Barack Obama has done NOTHING to benefit the USA.

Sorry to my kids, my grandkids and all who may come after them. We tried to stop the stupid but the stupid was too strong….

Russia and Syria oh My..

Russia and Syria oh My..

Damn it Putin, don’t you know who you’re messing with? You are going to force Obama to apologize again and hit that reset button! You’ve been warned!

US: Russia sending Syria attack helicopters

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration said Tuesday that Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and warned that the Arab country’s 15-month conflict could become even deadlier.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. was “concerned about the latest information we have that there are attack helicopters on the way from Russia to Syria.”

Not only does Russia block us in the UN but to assist Assad too? Wow that’s gotta hurt. Evidently, that flexibility you’re planning on showing after the election Obama is taking too long. Might as well bend over now and take it like a man. Perhaps Putin will want to marry you? Since you’re all for it and all…

Now just to be clear, I don’t give a damn about Syria, they can all drop dead in a cow pie covered field for all I care. And I sure as hell don’t want a damn dime spent nor ONE AMERICAN LIFE helping either side over there.

But what this is, is a teachable moment. It’s a moment in time where “American Power” and our leadership is in question and being tested. It’s a moment that wouldn’t occurred if we had a leader these last four years. Our inaction, Our weakness from the top is evident worldwide. America had RESPECT in the world. No matter what the LEFT WING MEDIA said during the Bush years. The world understood that America WOULD ACT in a leadership role and lead if needed. Now?

We “Led from behind” in a “Kinetic Military action” in Libya but no action in Syria? We led from behind because “Civilians would be killed” but Syria? And Bush was “Blood for oil?”… WOW.

This post isn’t about my concern about Syria nor any Islamic nation. Couldn’t care less. But there’s something to be said for what has been lost under Obama. Bush told the world we will do what is necessary. Obama tells the world, we will kill you from the air with a drone because we have no stomach for the fight anymore. While that is true to some degree, The THREAT of AMERICAN POWER used to make despots think before they acted. Not any longer. Now, the world realizes Obama very well could lose this election and they are moving their chess pieces accordingly.

Your move Barrack.

 

Russia Threatens AGAIN

Russia Threatens AGAIN

Cross us and we will crush you, warns Medvedev


Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, today promised a “shattering” blow against any foreign power that moved against Russian citizens.

The threat will compound the fears of former Soviet states which are concerned that they could be next after the Russian attack on Georgia.

“If someone thinks they can kill our citizens, kill soldiers and officers fulfilling the role of peacekeepers, we will never allow this,” Mr Medvedev told a group of Second World War veterans in Kursk. “Anyone who tries to do this will receive a shattering blow.” The rest is HERE

Anyone that has been following this from the beginning needs to look real close about what is happening in Georgia. Russia aided folks in certain areas of Georgia that wanted to be under the rule of Russia. Georgia attacked them and Russia came to their aid.

In terms people can understand, it would be like the Mexicans in TJ wanted to be Americans, and Mexico sent troops in to keep them under Mexican rule, and America rolled into TJ to protect them from the wrath of Mexico, and then America went on to Mexico City for shits and giggles.

IMO, the Russians are WRONG, they invaded a sovereign nation- PERIOD. For those of you that say “Well the West did it in Iraq” I ask you how many security council meeting, and resolutions did the Georgians get? how many other nations were involved in this military action? how many UN resolutions? how many meetings? Now where near as many as Iraq got I am sure.

I also would like to point out that if this stands, and America does nothing, then it’s a free for all and WE will not have to exercise any security council options prior to attacking Iran, all we have to do is say, there are Iranian’s that want to be closer to the west….fight on.

I think America and the NATO allies need to show their mettle now more than ever. And we are in great shape, with the French leader Sarkozy threatening the Russians we are assured a win (Sarcasm should be detected)

I don’t want to hear a damn thing about how screwed we are with Bush, I know. I also know we don’t have a choice right now. GWB is leading the most powerful nation on earth, and NOW he needs to actually do something RIGHT!

Keep Poking the Bear.

Keep Poking the Bear.

U.S., Poland Reach Agreement on Missile Defense

Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. and Poland signed a preliminary accord today that will allow for 10 U.S. interceptor missiles to be based in the eastern European country, completing a defense system that Russia opposes.

The U.S. has agreed to Polish requests including modernization of its armed forces in exchange for the location of the missiles, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in an interview with private broadcaster TVN24 this evening.

“We are now harvesting the fruit of many months of hard work,” said Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski at a joint press conference with U.S. Undersecretary of State John Rood in Warsaw. “Only people of ill intent should fear this agreement.”

Talks on locating part of the planned missile-defense shield on Polish territory made headway yesterday in the wake of the Georgian conflict.

The Russian incursion heightened Poland’s security concerns and “made the Polish government a little more willing to conclude a deal,” said Wade Boese, research director at the Arms Control Association, a non-partisan group in Washington. “It may also have made the Bush administration more willing to meet the Polish demands.”

Well nothing like poking the bear while it’s rampaging.. You know, not being able to do anything about it at all, and the whole world knowing it, isn’t the best strategy.

This could go sideways in a hurry, and some serious diplomacy, undeniable strength, and Great leadership abilities are in need right now.. I sure think of George W Bush, Barak Hussien Obama, And John McCain during these times…..

Russians on the move.

Russians on the move.

Georgia ‘overrun’ by Russian troops as full-scale ground invasion begins.

Georgian officials tonight claimed the country had been ‘overrun’ by Russian troops after a full-scale ground invasion.

Amid reports that Moscow forces had taken the town of Gori – and were marching on the capital Tsblisi – Georgian soldiers appeared to be in full retreat.

Troops were apparently in complete chaos as a full-scale rout pushed them back through the countryside.

Meanwhile, the civilian crisis intensified with thousands of refugees fleeing the seemingly unstoppable advance of the Russian army. The rest is here

Ok I don’t know if anyone realizes exactly what is happening with Russia.
Let your ol buddy Bushwack school you a bit.

America has a lame duck President in office. We have a DEMOCRAT led Congress that is the most inept bunch of elected officials we have ever seen. We have a very LIBERAL presidential candidate that is leading in all polls, and who is projected to win the WhiteHouse in November. Most of our Military forces are tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are spending a large amount of money in both of those wars and our economy is struggling. Oh and the worlds attention is on the Olympics….
So in conclusion, the world is ripe for the taking. Russia has the confidence to attack another nation because they know we are WEAK!
The USA is not in any position to help Georgia for a couple of reasons.
1. The lack of leadership in DC. From Congress to the President.
2 .Our wonderful “PC society” the bay area media darlings the so called “Humanitarian” protesters that actually cost more lives than they save…

Ask yourself a couple of questions: When Sadaam Hussein attacked Kuwait, how long did it take before an ultimatum was issued? How long before the mission to remove them from Kuwait was set in motion?  (Oh and our media darlings were in the street protesting that too.)
Russia has a perceived threat, real or not they perceive it. They are answering the threat as a COUNTRY, not a party and they will handle that threat without idiots in Moscow parading in pink outfits screaming about an unjust war, or war for oil. You will see what it takes to be successful in a campaign in the 21st century.

It’s hilarious to me to hear the folks the media puts on TV these days, the same liberal trash that is bitching because we are killing insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, think we need to do something to help Georgia. Us Bad Americans should do nothing, and we should send the US Media over there to send back all the pictures. Just like we should do nothing about Darfur, Tibet, or any other shit hole, We need to repair the damage WE did in Iraq, and withdrawal into obscurity until we grow a set. That can take years if it ever happens at all.
Take a good look America, this is what happens when you allow the liberal mentality to creep into a leadership role. The big boys on the block see blood in the water and now MORE lives are lost.
The Isolationism Ron Paul advocated is going to happen, NOT by choice though, it’s going to come because all the country’s we have backed, are seeing what is happening in Georgia and they are going to start seeing things differently as far as their friends.

I don’t agree with the Russians, I think they went off the reservation so to speak. BUT I admire them for being able to handle business without all the political BS when it is necessary.
Sorry Georgia, You have no help coming from the US, at least until 2012. Hang in there.

Does anyone remember the cold war movie Red Dawn? Right about now the Rockies seem like a great place to move.
