I’m not working with Kim Zigfeld/La Russophobe. I am going to find out who she (or more likely, he) really is and if this group blog is part of someone’s PR operation, ala Randy Scheunemann and Orion Strategies. If it takes some Democrat hack reporter in Washington D.C. to get the truth out, only after the election, so be it. These Beltway bandit bastards have hijacked the conservatism that I and Chuck believed in when we cheered the collapse of the Evil Empire – even if we were a bit naive about the Russians becoming our allies, things never had to get this bad. McCain rails against them in his stump speeches, but he can’t fire the ones on his own staff.

which makes us think that `she` and `Steve J. Nelson` are working together

Now more details are coming out about American private contractors (most ex-U.S. military) operating in Georgia, and what they were doing there, as well as the South Ossetian death toll from Georgian operations. The South Ossetian Public Commission on War Crimes has published 372 confirmed dead so far, and 1692 dead or missing.

So Kim Zigfeld/La Russophobe, along with the rest of the Western media, were wrong to lap up Human Rights Watch paltry figure of 45 casualties as if it were gospel. Something went seriously wrong in Georgia, and the U.S. involvement there was never adequately explained to the American people. You don’t need to be some crazy leftist (I am getting more paleocon all the time) to see that.

“The USA and Russia need one another right now. We need their oil and resources, and frankly their boot down on a very troublesome part of the world. They need our might to give them time while they restock their maternity wards. Otherwise they’ll be a district of China. This partnership won’t be a love affair but rather a practical arrangement based on mutual interest and mutual respect could be very advantageous for both parties. The northern hemisphere could be a zone of mutual prosperity and mutual security, with the EU as a sort of themepark between Washington and Moscow–I think our European “allies” would like nothing better. Too bad the US is sleepwalking back in the days of the Cold War and Russia is thinking with the chip on its shoulder to see it. Maybe Vladimir the Great gets it, in which case he would deserve the title you ironically gave him.”

My thoughts EXACTLY. “kabud” and other fans of La Russophobe are either using her to make their own kneejerk anti-Russian position appear moderate in comparison, or they are certifiable John Birchers who really do think that the real world is like that Simpsons episode:

“The Soviet Union would be happy to host your wayward vessel.”
“The Soviet Union? I thought you guys broke up?”
“That’s what we wanted you to think! Bwahhahahahahahahaaha!” (cue Evil Empire music, Berlin Wall going back up, Lenin resurrected)

Guys it is always very beneficial to check the sources on russian, chinese and USA military

so far we have a huge disbalance with communist advantage:

1.kremlin had 40 000 nuclear warheads in 1989
we never had any prove that any of those were dismantled

this huge quantity makes them also protected from USA strike because their tactics involves firing nukes at our incoming nukes

Also kremlin has up to 1000 or more launching bases fortified to the level that they can withstand a nuclear hit on them

we may be have just several like that

We also dont have any ABM system, and they do have it, including the nuclear warheads that may bi fired to destroy our missiles in space

2.they are preparing for surprise attack on us: that is a fundamental thing to their strategy and it means that they will destroy most of our launchers and may even get our submarines – they may have technology to find them underwater and will hit that area with a nuke

3.they accumulated hundreds of thousands of biological agents of many different kinds, well anthrax story and very suspicious reports from could be a false defector Alibek are very concerning material.

Also there are other indirect signals that they may be developing more bioweapons: rumors are circulating that kremlin military is hiring biologists and pay trhem a fortune

4.kremlin is arming beijing for decades: they transfered nuclear technology there in the 50s, they constantly supply China with conventional weapons on the scale of up to 10 billion a year

5.russians have an enourmous fleet both military and merchant; China and its neighbors like taiwan and South Korea have together the largest manufacturing base for vessels of different kinds:

all of them may be used to transport millions of Chinese soldiers to USA shores after WMDs like biological and nuclear may be used on us

And we have those Mexican borders that can be penetrated by enemy from Venezuela and alike

So it does not look pretty if we take into account REAL THINGS

Going back 20 years, I was delighted at the liberation of Eastern Europe; Russia did not belong there. When the USSR imploded, I was less delighted. It reminded me of the disappearance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in ’18, and the Pandora’s Box that opened. If that’s what Putin was thinking when he said the collapse of the Soviet Union was the great geopolitical tragedy, then he’s right.

It wasn’t to be the first time I was to side with Russia. Chechnya, for example. By what right did the USA and the European nations tut-tut Russia for crushing secession within its own territory? I don’t recall that the Czars carped at Lincoln for the actions of General Sherman in Georgia. As for the lost lands of the former USSR, the day may come when we will have to walk in Russia’s shoes. Someday a majority of the inhabitants of our own Southwest may choose not to be part of the United States and that our country may have fallen on such misfortune as to be unable to prevent them. I would not rest until the Southwest had returned to the Union, by blood and iron if necessary. And, no, I would give a damn what the people living there wanted. Do you think Russians might feel that way too? Like us, they’re a proud nation and don’t take well to the humiliation and dismemberment of their country.

It’s also worth remembering that the West got along quite well the the Russian Empire until 1917. She was a responsible member of the community of European powers. A bad landlord, perhaps, but generally as good a neighbor as the rest. Are we sure that preventing the return of this is worth a war? Putin’s Russia is not the Communist cancer. It’s explicitly Christian, nationalistic, and patriotic, which are not hateful things to most Americans. Me, I save my rancor for Islam.

One last thing. The USA and Russia need one another right now. We need their oil and resources, and frankly their boot down on a very troublesome part of the world. They need our might to give them time while they restock their maternity wards. Otherwise they’ll be a district of China. This partnership won’t be a love affair but rather a practical arrangement based on mutual interest and mutual respect could be very advantageous for both parties. The northern hemisphere could be a zone of mutual prosperity and mutual security, with the EU as a sort of themepark between Washington and Moscow–I think our European “allies” would like nothing better. Too bad the US is sleepwalking back in the days of the Cold War and Russia is thinking with the chip on its shoulder to see it. Maybe Vladimir the Great gets it, in which case he would deserve the title you ironically gave him.

Anyway, to any Russkies reading my longwinded piece, welcome back, Russia! But don’t push it too far.

No people died on streets of Gori: it was not bombed or invaded by Russian forces. Invading sovereign nation being genuinely criminal – you better STF up, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq could offer some clues. Only clinical idiot could interpret comments of Russian general as nuclear treat to Poland. There were no cyber attack on Georgia; it was Georgia who terminated transmission of Russian television and assess to international news web sites for Georgian residents. American friend Georgia is the same “democracy” as another American friend – Saudi Arabia. Rise of aggressive nationalism in Russia is mainly fueled by scumbags like you own who can not live comfortably without external image of enemy. Official Russia never ever questioned crime committed in Katyn under direct order of Stalin. GWB was not mistaken about Putin: Putin is not a monster like Stalin and DOES NOT SEEK RESTORATION OF THE LAST EMPIRE.

As I said, you are pathological liar, and it is very sad that droves of ill-informed American Conservatives are being fooled into new Cold War by intellectual prostitutes like you, my dear friend.
