Can Obama standup to putin? I hope so, but I have my doubts; I feel that Obama is out class by Putin in the same way the Sherman Tank was outclassed by the Tiger Tank. Putin is tough, highly intelligent and has a life time of experience in killing people as a KGB officer. The future looks bleak.
The last time we had a situation like this was 1939 in Europe when Hitler was grabbing one country after another. I can understand the desire to avoid conflict with Russia; the last time we fought a major war in Europe 200,000 American soldiers died in four years of war.
However, Putin as the leader of Russia bodes badly for us and freedom in general. Putin is one tough Honky; he will respect nothing but force. The Left may be just having fun accusing the right of loving Putin or at least I hope that is the case, if not I worry about the ability of the our people on the left sided of the political spectrum to accurately perceive reality. I think that the conservatives see the situation clearly and it doesn’t look good for us. I don’t think that there are any Americans who love Putin except for the possibility of a few disenchanted white racist that may see Putin as some kind of Caucasian savior of the white race. If Putin is as smart as I think he is he will to take advantage of the disenchantment of those people. As the Viet Cong proved during the Vietnam war it is always advantageous to have American allies when in conflict with the US.
I just hope that we are able discourages Putin’s aggressiveness before Russia starts eyeing a part of Alaska. Would you be willing to give up Alaska or part of it to keep Putin happy?
