That’s pretty shortsighted, William.

Or, because we have adversaries now who can close the technological superiority gap much more quickly than before.

1. Isn’t the high inflation good for reducing the government’s fiscal burden when it comes to spending on social entitlements?

Russia’s own government claims one reserve fund will be dry by 2016— not mid 2017.

You see, that’s my issue with the current status-quo of Russia.

Traded sideways, huh? Apparently, you need to learn how to read charts. Or, at least think critically while doing so...

Yeah, because NATGAS is doing so much better... Nice try. No extra ruble for you today!

Hey! You! Don’t look at the price of oil! Look at our fancy submarine, and our fancy missiles!

I think he’d be pretty happy with it. It meets most of his criteria.

Yeah, I’m with you on the Kurds.

HAHA.

I think the US is purposely holding back the GCC states, much like we held back Israel during Desert Storm. The reason Saddam kept lobbing SCUDS at Israel, was in the hope that Israel would unilaterally retaliate, thus destroying the “Arab coalition” Bush 41 had put together against Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. That’s…

Uh, where to begin?

Assad only carries the support of 17% of the population (the Alwaites, and the Shi’as). 83% (Sunnis, Kurds, Turkmen) do not support his rule, and will not tolerate him remaining in power.

I’m sorry, I can’t seem to find a sortie breakdown either. DoD has stats on its website for “Inherent Resolve,” but they do not break down each sortie by country.

AJ-America at least attempts to present unbiased facts. Since you’ve citied the network to reinforce a pro-Russia point, it would seem their reporting must, on some level, be unbiased— since, after all, you just claimed they’re pro-Sunni, and Russia is backing a Shi’a minority government in Syria.

Reading comprehension. Europe is diversifying away from Russia, and is buying more from Saudi Arabia. I’m not sure how that’s considered very “American” since “America” isn’t involved in it whatsoever...

Could you be anymore clueless?

If you stick around Fox News long enough, you’ll find someone claiming Obama is an SVR agent working with Putin to destroy the US. It’s about as reputable as, well, every single Russian news station.

HAHA!
