I am sorry to have missed your question. No, I am American and was, during the Viet Nam war, a Captain in the USAF working at Strategic Air Command Headquarters. The sobriquet Voyska PVO is from the name given to the Soviet Union’s Air Defense Force who were — arguably — my opponents at the time. It is a name I culled from my reading one of many Tom Clancy books and I guess I adopted it out of some sense of perversity. Also from some sense of irony because our staunchest allies in Europe are those who were formerly behind the Iron Curtain. They know the value of the liberty that BOOBUS POTUS is busy squandering.
Sebastian Shaw asked if Obama ia as bad as Carter was and my opinion is that he has exceeded that sorry sack’s performance in two short months with the capper being what Carter seemed to do so well: deprecate our country to the rest of the world.
That was the last straw for Carter (discounting his decimating the military to the point where they could not mount a rescue attempt of the hostages) and, despite the stranglehold that the three networks had on public information, the consummate disgust caused him to be soundly defeated in 1980.
What is written here by yourself, tanstaafl, Rachel Peepers, Delia, and others is significant and very moving. I just wanted to remind you that it will take action on our parts to effect change like what happened in 1980 and 1775.
(Again with the disclaimer: I only advocate peaceful and legal means of bringing this about.)
