Well said. I feel bad for people that live in Russia. Every leader they’ve had for the past 100 years (besides maybe Gorbachev) has been a complete asshole who has fucked their citizens up the ass.
The problem that Politicians seem to be making unilaterally with Russia is that they treat Russia like a country filled with Americans.
This is pretty much true of all his write-ups on the debates so far. This title gets more readers.
I believe that Washington is doing its best to keep those missiles out of Syria. But the Sunni states haven’t always listened to Washington. It’s possible that they don’t care to upset Russia, especially if they see it as a source of future arms if they think the U.S. will restrict arms sales to them in the future…
That would be more impressive if it wasn’t for the fact that the North Vietnamese were instrumental in setting up the Khmer Rouge victory in the first place. Vietnam only turned on Pol Pot when they realized he wasn’t willing to be a Vietnamese client and had ambitions to overtake them in regional dominance.
That is true, and Vietnam’s effects were arguably not as widespread, but by the numbers we lost many more dollars and many more lives in Vietnam- and embarrassed ourselves much more than in Iraq, I would argue.
If you want to debate, tell me why I’m wrong. Don’t just call me a moron right off the bat; you aren’t going to get anywhere that way.
They have to play to the America people though! I bet less than 5% of our population can tell you anything about the Mexican war.
Disagree. Not due to Russia ultimately being harmed more than they gain, but due to the machismo of Putin and Russia in general. Regret implies that they would have done something differently. I don’t think that’s the case as they’re too macho and want so badly to be the Soviet Union again.
Dude, those were like forever ago! </s>
Tyler is a beacon of light in the Gawker universe.
This gadawful color palette for one.
The Repub’s debate was in front of an actual plane Reagan used as Air Force One during his presidency. Kinda cool, kinda over-the-top, but not a mock-up.
Well, he’s the guy that admitted having no idea what he was voting on when he first got to Congress. Because he was new and distracted with family tragedy. Painful to watch him speak. I just wanted someone to come on stage, hug him, and walk him home.
Sanders on Iraq: “the worst foreign policy blunder in the history of this country”
The applications are unlimited. Industrial for one. Let the engineers figure out a use for it. That’s not our concern.
I don’t care. I graduated.
How many MIlLION people did your comrade Stalin and the rest of you commies kill? If We’re playing a numbers game.
Yes you are a troll. Mostly because Russian media immediately reported the story as Russian Rebels brought down a Ukrainian military plane immediately following MH17 crash. There is audio recording of rebel leaders discussing whether they really took down a Ukrainian military plane or civilian aircraft. Also,…
i can’t see any reason for any of the players (Kiev, Moscow, the separatists) to want to do this. IMO, this is the tragic result of someone putting serious weaponry in the hands of some yahoo paramilitaries who, under different circumstances, would be getting shitfaced and shooting at road signs.
