I just remembered words of Dana Rorabacher, few days ago, that US must wake up, and must stop acting like in Cold War times. Yes, there are normal and adequate Americans, like Ron Paul, Kucinich, Peter Schiff. But majority is still living in Cold War times with "communism, KGB, vodka, bla bla bla". I can't explain this phenomenon, US media continue to brainwash people, that they have "enemies", that US is constantly "under threat".. Americans became paranoiacs with "communism" phobia. WAKE UP!

I admire Putin for standing up to the Neo-Cons and the NWO

Don't you think the Russians are the ones with the Cold War Mentality?

Sakwa is definitely a lefty and was wrong then and wrong now.

Sorry, English is not my native language, mea culpa.

But even if, portraying RF as a victim of some bias is just laughtable, in this way every criticism can be "knocked down" by labeling it as a bias, what some likes to repeat, "russophoby". This is obviously not the case, that`s simplification of real issues, bringeing them to the level of emotions, without any reasons.

Sorry that i disagree with your idol, but in this point he`s just wrong.

I have him as professor. he said "revanchist states" so start by getting an ear doctor.

you're the one that needs a doctor you fool. He is completely impartial, read his book and find out the positive and negative things he highlights about russia and putin.

If you are so serious, I can't fathom why you'd lead w/ "LMAO". You do it as a clown. What about Gitmo? Show how I am "delusional". "typical yank" shows you to be an uneducated bigot....typical whiny, leftist rant.

[hornetobiker]

LMAO. I suppose you have forgotten about Gitmo and the numerous other "black prisons" your war criminal politicians decide to bury folk in.

Delusional hypocrite and a typical yank. Lets hope they decide YOU are a danger a???

Grow up you daft little bastard and think for yourself for a change.
