Biden's bloopers complicating US-Russia relations

[nutbagbrew102]

biden has problems - one of them is someone forgot to change his diaper on a regular basis - his wife  leaves him outside when he gets rank - no wonder he is so confused looking -

[DarknessMadeFlesh]

2:30-2:38 LOL i agree. i never did like the VP Biden from the start. bad pick of VP obama u should fire his ass.

[GoldenZealot21]

Maybe you are a little naive to think that the US govt. runs the US govt.

[DarknessMadeFlesh]

hey watch how u reply to me fuck head. Cuz the only naive person i c is u fagit....

[GoldenZealot21]

Wow, someone has some real anger issues. Cool down pal. And your remark is classic. You say I am what I told you. Great job.

You prove you are temperamental and stupid as well. I learn more about you with each comment :)

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

what separates the US from Saudi Arabia is we supported these groups for purely political purposes, whereas they bankroll them for ideological reasons - and crisis/instability is not a condition.

so we have a series of self-loathing americans who parade around with people who express solidarity with say...hezbollah, hamas, al-qeuda, all under this apologism that "America stated it!!"

it's total bullshit.

just an excuse to burn a flag and sell newspapers.

[RussianDefender100]

Those Mujahideens have turned against the very terrorist group you help created now called the Talibans. Its called Karma.

You deserve every head of dead yanks

with its head cut off and the body bags will

keep piling, AmUrica's lapdog Britania

has given up the war can NEVER be win

same will happen to AmUrica's downfall

before you finance Talibans, Mujahideens,

Whabbits and other terrorist groups

make sure you clean your shit

ENJOY THE BODY BAGS YANKS ))

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

agree somewhat. disturbing relationship with saudi arabia, selling them billions of discounted weapons and loans, in addition to declaring wars on behalf of their sovereignthy - while they provide billions to the taliban, al-queda, and al-shabab. tho russians relationship with iran certainly does not help.

it seems we have a common enemy - the russians fighting the chenyan islamists, tho some say that has less to do with terror and more to do with russia re-asserting itself power-wise.

[fivestarmichael]

Your last statement applies to the U.S. as well. Which is the point I have been trying to make.

A lot of Americans don't see it, but the rest of the world sees America as a country trying to assert it's power everywhere.

If any country deserved to get bombed... it was Saudi Arabia. But we can't do that because the whole world needs her oil.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

the rest world sees that because America is the most powerful and influential nation on earth. There is nothing wrong about America attempting to americanize other countries, or in the least create allies that reflect our foreign policy objectives.

if we dont, other countries will - like Russia, China, and the collective and despotic Arab League.

those who pull the "american imperialism" flag really don't know what they are talking about.

[canrusgirl]

Its true America has a big influence other countries, and if America wants a country to be hated, it will tell lies make the country look bad, and others believe it, its not right, that way other countries dont get to show themselves because everyone is afraid of them, people should have their own opinions and not listen to one

[uche007us]

lol, the kettle is calling pot black. America is living on borrowed money. I wonder how long the charade that is american super power last.

$1 trillion in foreign military spending cannot be sustained. Wake up guys, atleast the russians arent spending themselves into bankrupcy

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

1 trillion?

our military budget is less than 600 billion.

the military budget isn't killing us, it's everything else.

social welfare (medicaid, etc..) costs over 1.5 trillion annually.

obama's signed off about 1.9 trillion in stimulus monies, then there is this 1 trillion dollar health care "reform" and then the ~200 billion we pump into iraq and afghanistan every year.

then we have iran and a likely confrontation in the next couple of years.

also, russia's economy is tanking.

[uche007us]

The 1 trillion in military spending comes not just from defense budget.

600b+ actual defense budget

200b+ supplementals

10b ish in miliatry aids to different countries around the world

round it up and you get 1 trillion

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

no, it's all the same.

The DoD is 600 some billion, which covers both civilian and military enlistees.

foreign aid is something entirely different, and is a combination of loans, grants, weapons, and partnerships.

people often cite israel as america's pet, but we've given far more to the arab countries in free money since the 70s and looked the other way when they used those weapons on their own people.

[uche007us]

You know I did not say anything about israel, cos i think we give more money to Egypt to keep the peace with israel.

Anyway, I know the defense spending in 2008 was almost a trillion dollars. I cant find the link which laid out the figures but add all the supplementals passed thru out the year and the military aides to South America, Middle east North Africa, and east european countries and you will see the true cost of defense

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

the DoD is reportedly ~650 billion. I don't know where you are getting the extra ~350.

the military aid is extremely limited,we give less than ~100 mill to the areas you mentioned, we do however sell $billions in weapons to these countries.

palestinians get about ~450 million a year from the US, and ~550 in taxes from the Israelis.

but they are part of a separate category and are not tallied in the DoD budget even though many of their leaderships oversees these transfers of monies.

[fivestarmichael]

I have tried to figure this out myself. The Federal budget is so byzantine.

Where does the CIA and NSA money come from? Does the defense budget include Department of Homeland Security? Warresisters (dot) org puts the number at almost a trillion, but what they include as defense spending is dubious.

Honestly, the debate can go either way depending on what you regard as defense spending.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

defense spending generally refers to the DoD - and its underlying agencies.

NSA is a party to the DoD, while the CIA is not I think.

CIA budget has always been classified and the wikipedia stats are probably b.s. NSA is a bit tricky because many employees are registered in different agencies to shield identities.

[Mojo1982]

Black budget for black operations.

[chairde]

Telling the truth just hurts the Russian psyche. That is why Russia is such a diminished entity in the world today.

[RussianDefender100]

LOL, and you think those facts youimbicile ???

Who has the country with Trillion Public Debt

which country has 9.6 %unemployment,

bankrupt banks, dead manufacturing firms,offshore employment, weakening currency

The United Shits of AmUriva

that is why AmUrica is such a deminished entinty due for a collapse next year.

a country that no one will remember

ENJOY THE DOG FOODS ))

[chairde]

russianDefender100,

Have you ever kissed a girl???

[wildpeachatl737]

This might be why Joe Biden lost during the primary and may never become President...his mouth. whether his comments are true or not, the art of politics calls for tact and diplomacy, something that he seems to lack and is a definite downfall.

[cssoldier10]

Obama= A more liberal version of Bush. He is not to be trusted.

[EmeterioBetances]

I knew that U.S. was looking into how to get into the Russia frontier. lol They are looking into expanding into the Russia Market and open it up to U.S. companies. Exploit the mother land of Russia for the sakes of the Elites here.

[patman173]

ur crazy

[urbanprophet777]

OBAMA IS A LIAR..DONT GET FOOLED

[partweed]

For those who think Obama supporters regard him as a savior: This is a myth perpetrated by the right-wing. No one who voted for him thinks Obama is or will be a savior. He's just a million times better than your boy emperor Bush. I for one would be surprised if any repairs to the USA can be accomplished in Obama's first 4 years. Bush f(*&ed up too much.

Compared to the Cheney, Lovable old Biden is a breath of fresh f%%king air and actually makes more sense than Cheney ever did.

[LarsSeprest]

I love this channel "if you were X person how pissed off would you be?" :)

They have awesome reporters!

[canrusgirl]

Biden doesnt like Russia,visits Ukraine and Georgia,that Russia has been having problems with,the conflicts came out of nowhere, wonder if the US politicians have anything to do with it?the conflict in Georgia started after Candalisa Rices visit,and the Georgian president was acting kinda crazy,and the president of Ukraine was acting strange too,I dont have anything against America,I just dont like the politicians,and the last presidents,but Obama seems like a good person

[LarsSeprest]

Seriously, people in America that do not like Obama see you as bigger sheeps than our own kin! Obama is just a black face on GWB! With Obama taking a world wide tour while he was electing, the videos of more Obama supporters jumping on the cult band wagon all over Europe! Please don't take the bait, Obama is not a savior, he is just another puppet president like the 5 before him!

[davidaud777]

biden is known for his gaffes

here's one: "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." -Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008

idiot

[Mitkovich]

USA show its face again! Changes? This administration is same shit like few previous! When will they finally learn that world doesn't belong to them? Future is in Russia, China, India and other growning economies! Biden reminds me on Regan, when he called USSR a "empire of evil"! He is idiot who lives in his imaginary world, like most of Yanks!

[aduladorfarses]

Russia kicked the ass of the arrogant and imperial Napoleon, Russia saved the world from the Nazis and next Russia and China will liberate the world from the stupid evil americans empire.

[weeks87]

So if you were Hilary Clinton or Barak Obama, how pissed off would you be right now?

[RussianDefender100]

Biden is a typical Yank pignorant moron

No wonder these fool got negative reception

in Serbia and Ukraine that piss the idiot

a pile of old shit who wish to be

a Yank president.

Yanks are all the same

A Snake will always be a Snake

[Speaksforthetrees]

Its realy confused matters lol ,them putting an African in as president of USA .

[Speaksforthetrees]

Biden is Vice President of USA a firms man ! Obama is a puppet and so is hilary .

Dont dismiss what he says .

[Euroman25]

Russia Today is the mouthpiece of Putin so what trust anything they say!

[tenorismo]

Joe Biden is like your uncle Ivan . Hes a nice guy , likes to have a couple of drinks.He shouldent be a poliition

[munseym]

I thought they told us that Palin was the stupid one.

[roosterrocks]

Biden is a two faced idiot, what can you expect from the Obama admin.

[CosmoZorzi]

Biden is such a disgusting little twit, they should have thrown him in one of those prison camps beyond the Urals

[Jbreed2011]

If there's one thing the U.S. and Russia can agree upon it's that Joe Biden is an idiot.

[OrphanPaper]

think tank ,,more like ,proper gander that tanks

[mercenarybdu]

Biden was a smart was he?

[kartveli2]

Why? Just because he visited Georgia he is not smart anymore?

Funny to see how you Russians run up with even the little bit of critique =))

[mercenarybdu]

this news source has been more reliable than a US source. They did bring up Bilderberg and members who are in favor of free press.

THE BIG 6 have a monopoly over the news in the US, which is not healthy.

[fivestarmichael]

How ironic... the U.S. media outlets have become so biased and controlled by corporations we can't trust anything they say. So we are turning to Russia for the news.

And we used to laugh about how Pravda was a toady, state owned newspaper.

I trust RT most then I trust G.E. owned NBC or Bilderberg owned CNN. Or neo-con controlled Fox news.

[ForTehNguyen]

Obama needs to fire whoever let Biden out of his cage.

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

I've said this before and i'll say it again...

Obama is loosing the American peoples support, Obama is loosing support throughout the Military, Obama is loosing support within his OWN Administration!! He's getting tossed around by Billary Clinton and JOE BIDEN for christ sake!! LOL

Obama PLEASE step down..

[roosterrocks]

WE need to get his whole administration to step down, maybe even use some force. Last I checked treason was punishable by death...

[markjoachen]

who econmy lol america econmy is ruined usa is way to greedy to stay number 1 in the world china is gonna still be number 1 this centruy russia knows where it is in the world i would say second to china this centrury america who cares with people like this in control oh and the roman empire will be back if we are not careful watch those vaticans boys there up to no good

[valkyrieQueensrf50lb]

USA will be part of Mexico 2032 :)

[MarshallKutuzov]

What the fuck is Biden doing touring the world opening his idiot piehole anyhow?? Obama is the President, and Billary is the Secretary of State. So why is the this shithead Biden being taken seriously? The same asshole who planned the bombing of Belgrade :( What a CUNT Biden is.

[delta9999]

Biden is a dumb prick

[fivestarmichael]

How can anyone say the U.S. does not cling to the past? NATO is cold war relic to impede Soviet aggression, but the U.S. keeps trying to expand it further and further East.

How can we say we want peace with Russia, while attempting to surround her with hostile forces?

Obama is using a different tone then Bush, but carrying on the same failed policies.

[blackxavior]

Russia is the relic, NATO is the future.

[fivestarmichael]

North

America

Taking

Over

[blackxavior]

Better us than someone else.

[RussianDefender100]

The United Shits of AmUrica has no future

you moron its due for a collapse in the next year along with NATO. a country no one will miss

as it has caused the problems of the world

[blackxavior]

When you can drink your own tap water again come talk to me.

[fivestarmichael]

America has so many internal problems, We need to start worrying about ourselves. We have everything we need to prosper right here on this continent... but we won't for long if we don't take of our problems at home.

We have enough resources at home to be a bad ass country that no one would ever attack. But we are out in the world securing oil for the rest of the world?

Fighting terrorists who wouldn't give a shit about America if just minded our own business.

[blackxavior]

Since America has some basic Democratic and human rights principles we will always be pulled into fights to uphold them. Believe it or not the stick your head in the sand diplomacy theory does not work.

[fivestarmichael]

Politicians always use our love of freedom to start conflicts. Most Pakistanis and Afghans don't want our help. Those fighting the West have a lot of grassroots support. People have the right not to be Americanized.

The only country to ever attack us was Britain, our closest ally, in 1812.

Fifteen of the Nineteen terrorists on 9/11 were Saudi. But we didn't invade Saudi Arabia... a non-Democratic nation with a horrible human rights record.

[patago71]

Well said and you can bet that the Afghanistan theater will break the back of NATO's political and militaristic architecture and tear it apart. The Canadians and small European nations do not have the stomach to fight these ancient warriors who are inspired by events which took place in the 5th, 6th, and 7th century etc.....Sit back and enjoy the real life time movie.

[fivestarmichael]

Exactly, listen to our allies... they have no stomach for this and they are seriously questioning our motives. What is the end goal?

Al-Qaeda is a world wide terrorist organization. Their beef with the United States is our military presence in their countries. Can you blame them? Would we want Arab countries with military bases in California, Quebec or Mexico?

Americans need to wake up and realize this war is all about creating spheres of influence so we can have their resources.

[patman173]

if binladen didnt plan 9/11 we wouldnt be there he asked for it but i think its a conspiricay so we can be there for other reasons

[fivestarmichael]

Osama Bin Laden is a Saudi citizen. Saudi money financed the hijackers. However, he worked with the Taliban so they are guilty by association.

Well, we trained and financed Bin Laden and the Taliban... so really the U.S. is just as guilty by association.

If we hadn't brought these people to power.. none of this would have happened.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

wrong.

we did not finance the taliban, we financed the mujaheed to fight the soviets.

when the soviets left, we stopped supporting osama. pakistan and saudi arabia supported the taliban because it was cheaper and consistent with their political/social policies.

would you have preferred an american invasion of afghanistan?

didn't think so. stop with this apologism, these people have an addiction to war and it has gone on before america was even in the middle east.

read a book.

[fivestarmichael]

Your arguing semantics... the people who formed the Taliban were ex-mujaheed soldiers including Osama. There was also CIA money funneled through the ISI.

Preferred an american invasion? We did invade.

They have been fighting since the stone-age... why do we need to get involved? These people wouldn't give a fuck about us if minded our own business.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

same rhetoric, not semantics.

no doubt, under jimmy carter we handed over a billion to the mujaheeden fighters to fight the soviets, which was consistent with our foreign policy objectives.

no one predicted the mujaheeden would turn around and attack the west, mostly because we under-stated their addiction to war and oppression.

this illusion of "we mind own business" and not "meddling" in their affairs is exactly what causes problems.

they take over countries, and we sit and do nothing? LOL

[fivestarmichael]

People like you were arguing the 'Domino Theory' in the sixties.

Who is they? And why would we care? Afghanistan is an undeveloped pile of rocks. We only want them to become Westernized so we can build an oil pipeline through their country.

The more we fuck with them, the more they are going to fuck with us.

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

communism and islamic radicalism is two entirely separate things.

and our dependence and support for these radicals began under Roosevelt who guaranteed indefinite US support for the new Saudi Kingdom.

saudi arabia is a leader is financing terrorism - al-shabab, islamists in sudan, gaza, afghanistan, iraq, chechnya, and elsewhere.

if we stopped playing both sides and fueling arms races between the various arab states and israel, perhaps life would be easier.

but all that oil and power...

[patago71]

I agree and good factual arguments. The world is like a neighbourhood on a street. For better or for worse, multi-ethnic Afghanistan is a nation with a deep culture and history and they been there when Native Indians were peacefully co-existing in America. Unfortunately, this nation has been used and exploited by world powers for geopolitical interests. God only knows what America will be and look like when they have lived in the neighbourhood just as long as other nations have.

[blackxavior]

Who cares? We have over 100,000 troops that will be freed up by 2011. The only allies we have with any realistic military use is the Brits.

Arab countries rulers have no legitimacy in there own country so the idea of oversees bases is ridiculous. The things we are trying to introduce like religious tolerance, equal rights for woman, free markets and democracy have legitimacy. Or are you one of these people that have sold out their values to believe in multiculturalism at any cost?

[fivestarmichael]

Why are you so interested in expending young men and our national treasure exporting our values?

I have met quite a few veterans from World War II to Vietnam who saw brutal combat and they would never see war as the right solution.

Our national conscience has obviously forgotten past horrors and past mistakes in foriegn policy. You should read, "The Ugly American". Then you might get my point.

[blackxavior]

I really hate people that use military experience as political pocket change. I especially hate douchebags with no military experience of there own using other peoples. I have talked to many veterans that agree with my point of view as well. I remember especially well a WWII D-Day veteran that was allowed to hang around my battalion in basic. He had some good stories and was a big supporter of the Iraq/ Afghan wars.

Read ''The Case for Goliath'' to get my point.

[fivestarmichael]

I haven't heard any good arguments for America's behavior in the past century. I will check the book out.

[blackxavior]

Everyone of my friends lives that have been lost exporting our values have a million times the value to me than your life does. Sacrifice has value. Your talk is nothing just like you.

[fivestarmichael]

I am not saying sacrifice has no value. There is no greater hero then someone who fights for our country. I appreciate fighting for someone else's freedom. I would even value a war fought over resources.

Sorry, fighting a world over ideology is just stupid. I will read the book you suggests when it comes in.

[patago71]

I know. The Europeans will politically say they are with us but they don't want to fight because they have tasted EMPIRE and countless wars. I think the end goal is to spread America's tentacles in every corner of the globe. This might seem ambitious but it is definitely naive. Many of use in the west are so self absorbed that we cannot understand why other people do not want bases on their land let alone be occupied. So, I do not blame them.

[djphilmore]

@fivestarmichael notice the relations of our government to the redcoats of the 17th century

[hillbillygenius]

Biden was born foot-in-mouth. Don't listen to the asshat, Russia. He really shouldn't have been a senator, let alone Vice President of the United States.

[osmanv8]

Biden would not have made those remarks if he didn't mean it.

[blackxavior]

Biden was just stating the facts.

[vtkrey]

Biden is a fail.

[DiscoverRussia]

Yes, but those facts are based only in comic books and strips !

[DiscoverRussia]

You live Disneyworld called USA, and you can`t even find the Russia on the world map...you dont even understand the basic history, culture and people of Russia...you live in Mickey Mouse world full of Coca-Cola, Hollywood blocbusters among Ronald MC`donnald clowns and idiots accros USA.

I dont blame you, and all of my people in Russia do not blame you...becouse we know that you have meet with Russia only in comic books, PC games and thrue Hollywood !

[patago71]

I agree with you. People there don't even realize that Russia is just as ethnically or more diverse than the USA and definitely more cultured. One cannot develop culture after 235 years of existence. The culture there is simply based on entertainment and consumption.

[DiscoverRussia]

You are poor trailertrash scum living in rootten trailer in Arizona, watching TV and filling yourself with MC donnalds manues !

You learn "facts" about Russia from MC`donnalds menu !

[blackxavior]

Assumption is the mother of all Fuck ups.

[RussianDefender100]

we have clean water all over the territories

unlike your dirty soon to be broke country

a country who lives on looting resources of

other country

Go back and talk talk to me

when you can get something thats not looted

for the meantime,Eat your Dog Foods ))

[SeekThyTruth]

Biden is a sell out and all of his associates.
