In the 21st century isolationism is the way to nowhere. You can't hide behind the pond anymore.
It always amuses me when someone brings up the Founders here and there. As though, they are the 'saints' and their words should be a dogma for the eternity.
They were the people of their epoch and some their ideas may be not so relevant now.
Won't happen. Because of NATO! Russia needs to back off....
NATO was once needed for security purposes when the Soviets were threatening the world during the Cold War but that has long gone away.
Nowadays the US contribution to NATO is nothing more than foreign welfare. The US spends far too much in domestic and foreign welfare.
Yes. Bring them all home.Okay, you are not isolationist, but you propose to get the US troops back from Europe. What is else? The Far East, the Middle East? Bring them home from there too?
you thought wrong.I thought NATO was to prevent another world war, that we would be brought in to? And it has worked, so far no WWIII???
Won't happen. Because of NATO! Russia needs to back off Ukraine imo...
So, you are advocating isolationism.Yes. Bring them all home.
Constant war abroad leads to tyranny at home. I don’t suppose you’re aware of this historic fact.
H
you thought wrong.
No. I’m advocating an end to imperialism and imperialist wars. Something many Americans like you just can’t fathom.So, you are advocating isolationism.
Having military presence around the world doesn't mean constant wars per se. On the contrary, in some cases it prevents wars.
Expansion of European nations worldwide didn't lead to tyranny at home. On the contrary, quite opposite happened there.
I am not an American, man. And can see things there only from a distance.No. I’m advocating an end to imperialism and imperialist wars. Something many Americans like you just can’t fathom.
We’re watching tyranny at home occur right now. It’s right in your face, but you still can’t see it.
Great column. He spells it out.I am not an American, man. And can see things there only from a distance.
I agree with many things in this article. And also think that Putin won't start any direct war with the West. To say nothing about a nuclear one.Great column. He spells it out.

Our founders ideas about freedom transformed the world and provided the path that all of us take for granted. You couldn;t be a pimple on one of their butts on your best day. Had we followed Washingtons advice before we became a super power, we may still be free today. But the world is an ugly place and we have to be involved, because if the few free nations still left over seas fall, we will not be able to stand on our own.In the 21st century isolationism is the way to nowhere.

The military industrial complex, big multinational corporations, and a few billionaires run the USA. They all love war, since it greatly increases their wealth and significantly expands their political power.I agree with many things in this article. And also think that Putin won't start any direct war with the West. To say nothing about a nuclear one.
About NATO.. This structure has lost its effectiveness, become too big and too bureaucratic. But on the other hand, it allows the US to hold almost all of Europe under control.
Basically, the relations between the US and Russia aren't important at all. The key is China. And upcoming global struggle between the US and China dictates the logic of the US-Russia relations.
1) Russia prefer the USA and NATO back from Eastern Europe rather than a nuclear war (limited or all-out);Won't happen. Because of NATO! Russia needs to back off Ukraine imo...
May be, as it was with Cuban Missile Crisis, Russia will start with a full blockade of Ukraine and recognition of DPR and LPR in the borders of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.I agree with many things in this article. And also think that Putin won't start any direct war with the West. To say nothing about a nuclear one.
And the logic is quite simple, too:About NATO.. This structure has lost its effectiveness, become too big and too bureaucratic. But on the other hand, it allows the US to hold almost all of Europe under control.

Has it ever occurred in your mind that if the US is going to disintegrate in less than 10 years term, then why your czar wants longterm security guarantees from them?countries expand when they grow, countries withdraw when they shrink.
the US is lethally sick and will disintegrate before 2030. their budget deficite is about 50%. if the US doesn't save resourses being spent on various beggars it will not last more than a couple of years...
I understand that it takes very long to understand that punching a bear is dangerous.
if you are a Ukrainian
but this understanding will come to you inevitably, it just may be that it comes too late, when your population is already 50% of that in 1991..
For example, to be more or less sure, that the USA won't do anything extremely stupid to prevent this disintegration.Has it ever occurred in your mind that if the US is going to disintegrate in less than 10 years term, then why your czar wants longterm security guarantees from them?
