POLL: Is Russia a threat to the US?

[Esmeralda]

How so?

Some of Russia's allies and friends are: Syria, Iran, and China. Russia is a threat to the peace and security of both Western and Eastern Europe, the Ukraine/Crimea situation being a perfect example, which, therefore, makes them a threat to the US because of our links to those areas. Russia is a threat to the peace and security of the Middle East because of their support of Iran and Syria. Syria is seriously destablizing the ME at the moment, and Iran is a continuous threat to the peace and stability of the ME. The US has direct, hands on friendships and connections to stable Middle Eastern states. Putin is a brutal, ruthless dictator who absolutely cannot be trusted.

BULLSHIT.

Is Russia a threat to the US of A?

I do not give a shit about Eastern Europe, Ukraine/Crimea.

Don't care, and irrelevant, that Syria, Iran, and China are allied with Russia .

.

You don't understand international relations; our security depends on the security of our friends and allies. One example: the US has a large naval base in Bahrain, right in the middle of the Arabian Gulf. Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar, & Saudi are all friends and allies. Iran, and now Syria, threaten the stability of the Middle East. Russia being a friend, ally and supporter of Iran, a state which threatens to destabilize the entire region, threatens the US because it threatens our friends and allies, & as well, it puts the naval base in Bahrain at risk. It is not at all irrelevant that Syria, Iran and China are allied with Russia. It doesn't matter whether or not YOU give a shit about Eastern Europe, the Ukraine and the Crimea. Overall world security and stability have an effect on the US. You are a very silly person if you think the stability or instability of other parts of the world have no effect on the US.

 

[Contumacious]

A lot of stupid people (17) to claim Russia isn't a threat.

They were threat as soon as Lenin took control of their country.

The collapse of the USSR duped many Americans that Russia was our friend.

Bullshit.

Myths of the Cold War

We should not negotiate with the Russians, or Chinese, until they show by deeds, not words, that they favor peace.

This is a typical State Department-type argument, rather than a War Hawk one. It doesn’t make any more sense, nevertheless. What deeds are the Russians supposed to undertake, to "prove" their peaceful intentions? A deed like disarmament? Who is for complete and general disarmament, the Russians or us? A deed like ending foreign bases? Who has bases, encircling the other side, the Russians or us? "

A shit eating Nazi like you is atypical of this kind of kook thread.

So is Russia being the "nice guy" invading their neighbor because they don't like what Ukraine is doing inside their own fucking country???

Well, hell....I guess Russia can invade Estonia, Finland, etc if they don't like the internal politics of a country and can invent bullshit lies about Russians being oppressed in those countries. It is very Nazi-esque behavior....

LOL I just checked the list of people who voted Russia is a threat to USA, and all the familiar faces

A lot of stupid people (17) to claim Russia isn't a threat.

They were threat as soon as Lenin took control of their country.

The collapse of the USSR duped many Americans that Russia was our friend.

They never quit pointing their nukes at us, supporting evil countries/dictators (Assad, Saddam, Chavez, Castros, Iran's mullahs, etc) and bothering their neighbors in the Baltics, Central Asian States and Balkans.

The invasion of Ukraine is because Putin believes Obama is a limp dick socialist willing to let Russia and China do what they like "overseas." Being weak in public and private with evil people leads to these situations.

You are talking to a simple-minded twit. He doesn't understand the importance of US power being in the face of evil people actually keeps the peace.

In his shallow mind, if we just packed up our bags....Russia, China, Iran, the terrorists would go back to their boring lives and leave people alone.....they wouldn't say invade a neighbor like Ukraine, oh wait.

Grey Terror | JR Nyquist | FINANCIAL SENSE


There is an old book by a GRU defector who wrote under the pen name Viktor Suvorov. The book's title is Spetsnaz: The Inside Story of the Soviet Special Forces. Chapter 15 in this book is about Spetsnaz's role at the outset of World War III. It makes very interesting reading.

Russian Spetsnaz commandos are trained as paratroopers, explosives experts, terrorists and assassins. According to Suvorov, World War III will not begin with conventional military operations, or even with massed nuclear missile strikes. On page 196 he describes "a series of large and small [terrorist] operations the purpose of which is, before actual military operations begin, to weaken the enemy's morale, create an atmosphere of suspicion, fear and uncertainty, and divert attention of the enemy's armies and police forces to a huge number of different targets...." According to Suvorov: "The principle method employed at this stage is 'grey terror.'" This is a kind of terror that is carried out "in the name of already existing extremist groups not connected in any way with the Soviet Union, or in the name of fictitious organizations."

Suvorov claimed that "grey terror" would have a psychological warfare component. The Russian special services, he wrote, would launch a scandal parade. Dirt would be invented, created or dug up on America's leaders, on America's defense establishment and on America's friends abroad. According to Suvorov, various nations would begin to distrust their leaders. The peace movement, he wrote, would make use of these scandals. "In many countries there are continual demands to make the country neutral and not to support American foreign policy, which has been discredited." When America's international support erodes away, explained Suvorov, the "grey terror" gathers in scope and "reaches its peak." The next stage is pink terror, "when active military operations have not yet begun and there is still peace, but when some of the best spetsnaz units have already gone into action." This leads directly to "red terror" - which is open warfare between major powers.

Perhaps it is crazy to make this suggestion: But is it possible the "grey terror" of Viktor Suvorov has begun? Are key leaders in al Qaeda paid agents of the old Communist Bloc, paving the way for "pink terror" and the "red terror" that logically follows?

One hesitates to accept, at face value, the statements of anti-Communists in Eastern Europe (since their statements are so grim). And yet, there is something strange about the terrorists and their war against America. What do these terrorists hope to achieve for themselves? Islam is not going to take over the United States. The Islamists have no army. They don't even have a country that dares to openly embrace their cause.

Last Sunday night I received a call from an American businessman recently returned from South America. He had a strange encounter. He'd met a Russian down below the equator. This Russian thought South America was safe place to be at the moment. The businessman talked about life in South America. "Life is better in the United States," he said. The Russian answered. "Yes, but the United States is not going to be there much longer."

The Russian refused to elaborate. Perhaps he doesn't need to.

You are 1 dumb and simple SOB. This is 12th grade geopolitical reasoning ^^, assuming you ever graduated high school short bus rider.

THEY NEVER STOPPED POINTING THEIR NUKES AT US!!!!!!!!

Complete 8th grade understanding of how the world works being embarrassingly plastered on the internet for everyone to witness. It really is embarrassing. You need to stop because everyone is laughing at you.

A shit-eating cocksucker like you being impressed and arrogant about your stupidity is quite pathetic, hilarious and ironic.

Tell us cocksucker...how we are the bad guy and Russia is the innocent little pussy cat.

Russia created "suitcase" nukes during the Cold War to be brought into US cities and blown up by their special forces/spies at the given time when ordered. Of course, dumbfucks here believe Russia is an innocent country being bothered by Americans.

Russia is doing other things that eventually will come out someday...

You don't understand international relations; our security depends on the security of our friends and allies.

Bullshit.

Our Security depends on the US conducting commerce with ALL nations and having entangling alliances with NONE.

Now, the fact that the US is a military superpower deters other countries from becoming a threat.

But it does not deter our enemies from forming alliances such as Al Qaeda. They can not be identified with any specific country and will attempt to find any means to cause us harm. They only have to get lucky once.

 

[1776]

A simple-minded fuck like you believes AQ will just go away if the US military and CIA leave them alone.

Yeah, they won't expand their grip on the Islamic world and branch out into Europe, Asia, the Americas.....

You go away for long periods because you search Wikipedia for your knowledge.

Cuban missile crisis....uh Russia snuck missiles into Cuba in the claim that it countered our missiles in Turkey. Nevermind Russia had missiles in Warsaw Bloc countries.

Yeah, you are that fucking stupid....now go back to Wikipedia, shitbag. My bad...you don't know what the Warsaw Bloc countries were...little boy.
