The fact that liberals are currently using Russia as a giant boogeyman tells me that Russia is probably not as bad as many would have you believe.
Ask yourself this. If Trump were to fly out to a public venue to give a speech, would he get better reception by citizens in the UK or the people of Russia? Trump hasn't gone to the UK because he knows he'll get shit on by just about everyone. Ask yourself the same question but with Hollywood, San Fran, Boston, Berkeley, or just about any major US university or liberal city. Would he get better reception in those American places or would he get better reception in Russia? I have a feeling the Russian people would respect him far more, whereas in America morons would show up in droves with their pussy hats and middle fingers to let him know just how much they hate him, the people who voted for him and the constitution that this country was founded on. That tells you all you need to know. Our greatest threats are from within and it's laughable to think otherwise. |

ArmyInfVet - I think the UriNation and Soros are a greater threat than Russia.
Our politicians have sold us out. Dubya's Patriot Act is anything but patriotic and American with its crotch groping Touch Some Arse. I don't think anyone like George Washington would stand by while a stranger groped Martha. Now throw in the NDAA '12 which allows under a declared emergency gives federal agencies the power to seize anything they want from the cotton in your socks to the sugar in your cupboard. They can even force us to work on farms. Thanks Congress and 0. Peter Schiff has a video that mentioned this back in 2011. I also think that the greatest threat our way of life started from within when the Fed Res began destroying the petro-dollar with quantitative easing. Today we are so vulnerable because no one wants to buy our Treasuries anymore. Once the petro-dollar goes, so does our way of life. Right now the Chinese are looking to buy a big share of Aramco and if they do, they'll put someone on the BoD. Once that happens, Saudi Arabia will announce they'll also accept the Yuan for their oil. |

It wasn’t that long ago in the Obama-Romney debates that the Dems were dismissing the threat from Russia as Cold War politics. Heck, as recently as this recent campaign, Clinton’s cronies were dismissing the Clinton,wil scandal with the idea that no sophisticated adversary would have interest or advantage in snooping on her e-mail. How quickly that narrative changed. How quickly folks on the right have gone full derp to now be the ones dismissing the threat from Russia. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fundamentally, Russia’s interests have not changed. They want a weakened West that can not interfere with their geopolitical ambitions. Containment policy put that in check beginning 1947 and led to the Cold War. NATO and US presence continues to check that ambition today. Russia continues to step up its information campaign to get westerners to turn against such institutions and policies. When so much of the Right parrots Russian bullshit about NATO, seeks to undermine the alliance or even have the US abandon it, complains that US policies are unduly provoking Russia, or even propping up our shared societies natural enemies (see every Syria thread and the talking point s asserting the US backs or even created ISIS), then we have a useful idiots problem. Calling such institutions the tools of the western Left, even as the western Left remains their biggest enemies, is one aspect of that messaging as it targets the western Right. Not being able to see through it is the result of willful ignorance. Oh, by the way, yeah, fuck Syria- fight your own war, fuck the rest of the middle east- we've got natural gas to drill for here, fuck NATO- pay for your own defense and keep your globalist bullshit. |

Their greatest enemy is also our greatest enemy and no, it's not the useful idiot muslims being encouraged, armed and duped only to be used as cannon fodder and agents of global chaos by the facilitators of a new world order. Russia is far down my list of enemies that need immediate attention. Those on the top of my "entities that present the most danger to our republic" list are right here among us.

It ain’t Russia that’s blocking freeways in America when people try to get to work. No Russians are staging riots with red flags in American cities. Russians aren’t shooting up American schools, churches, concert venues and shopping malls. Russians aren’t killing American cops. Russians aren’t selling heroin and meth to American kids. Russians aren’t setting off bombs in Times Square or flying airplanes into our buildings. Russians aren’t calling Americans “deplorable”. Russians didn’t pass Obamacare.

Quoted:
Is it just me or do some of you fucks actually believe Russia is still communist?
Russians like Putin because he works in their interest. It's the same reason we like Trump and the same reason everyone else in the world hates both of them. However, it's important to note that Putin isn't controlling the government. There's a complex web of oligarchs and other actors within the Russian government that force Putin to do their bidding. I suggest you all take a look at this book. www.amazon.com/dp/1610397398 I bet if we put troops on the border, we'd dance and drink together! Between the EU and Russia, I think the EU is the bigger threat. This is mostly due to the fact that the EU is given undue respect. At least with the Russian government, we know they are mostly corrupt and can't be 100% trusted. But people stick their head in the sand and pretend the EU is this super democratic beautiful Utopia that America needs to emulate. Heck what a sad thing that Bush didn't get to enact his wet dream of a North American Union 
Because what a wonderful world we would live in, if you could be arrested for criticizing the super-state's immigration policies. What a wonderful world we could live in, if politicians can jail you simply for criticizing them. Whatever you can say about the Russians, ... you can certainly say about the EU. The problem is, the world ACCEPTS the truth about Russia, but acts like you're a crazy conspiracy theorist retard if you believe the truth about the EU. For that reason, the EU is a bigger threat. The guy you know is sketchy is always less of a threat than the sketchy guy you don't know about. |

Weak propaganda is weak. “This work is particularly important today as attempts are undertaken to exploit religious feelings for political purposes,” Putin said during the opening of the mosque, which is said to cost some $170 million.
“We see what’s happening in the Middle East where terrorists of the so-called Islamic State discredit the great world religion, discredit Islam by sowing hate, killing people... destroying the world’s cultural heritage in a barbaric way.” “Their ideology is built on lies, on open perversion of Islam. They are trying to recruit followers in our country as well.” Adopting Russian Orthodox Christian terminology for an important house of worship, the building is called the Moscow Cathedral Mosque. Its main golden dome and tall minaret reflected the style of many Orthodox churches, except for the Islamic crescents atop them. Russia’s Kremlin-backed Council of Muftis said private donations covered the construction of the mosque, including contributions from Kazakhstan and Turkey, whose President Tayyip Erdogan was present at the opening ceremony. |

While these fucking morons seize control of the country, take our guns, regulate industries out of existence, arrest people for using the wrong gender pronouns and plunge us all into a tyrannical socialist authoritarian state, some of you will still be yelling at clouds and thinking Russia is our biggest threat. https://static01.nyt.com/images/2017/01/22/us/22march8/22march8-superJumbo.jpg http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/special-report-bret-baier/sites/foxnews.com.on-air.special-report-bret-baier/files/immigration.jpg https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/dailyprogress.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/1/fa/1fa749a4-e68b-11e6-90bd-df104612b08a/588e96cf19e5d.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800 |

The ironic part is that we have real, honest-to-God commies marching around here in America yet these knuckleheads want us to believe that the Russians' rustbucket military complex and bald midget overlord are a bigger threat. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Russia is a known entity, they strive for what will make them greater just like we should, with about apologizing for doing so. Their greatest enemy is also our greatest enemy and no, it's not the millions of useful idiot muslim being used as cannon fodder by the facilitators of a new world order. Russia is far down my list of enemies that need immediate attention. Those on the top of my "entities that present the most danger to our republic" list are right here among us. Shifting the focus off of them and onto a known entity who is under constant scrutiny is nothing short of enabling those enemies among us. Russia sees the world as a pie that it wants more of. In Russia's eyes, the U.S. has more of that pie than anybody else. |

If you want to find countries actually resisting Muslim immigration and standing up against the "Islam is a peaceful religion" narrative, you will find them in NATO countries like Poland and Hungary - countries which, interestingly enough, are under immense political and economic pressure from Russia.
Russians, it seems, are realists in this regard. |

How many in the "I dont give a shit, we've got commies on our doorstep" camp are under 35? |

The OP's beef is with the folks here who think Russia is a kindred spirit with the U.S. That being said, the statement made on page 1 here that the average American probably has more in common with the average Russian than with the average urban "American", is still correct. It's a massively fucked up thing to say, especially because it's true. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I also side with Russia, because they haven't cucked out to Radical Islam like the EU and half of America. Russia is willing to kill terrorists, AND kill them with extreme prejudice. Do I like everything Russia does? No. Russia, for instance, holds the value of human life to be extremely low. They are also extremely corrupt. But to be fair, I'm not so sure we are that much better than them. I just think our country has better PR. Quote HistoryQuoted:

i don't like putin, i don't admire him. but i most certainly do not "hate" him because he's doing the same thing for his people that many of our leaders believe we ought to be doing for our own. if you are a russian president, you aren't going to be doing anything for the russian people by being subservient to the western world's demands. you and i might not like what putin does but you and i most certainly would do what putin is doing if we were russians and considered ourselves russian patriots in the way we consider ourselves american patriots now. that is the perspective that i look at the russian situation from. People side with those who have self-respect, who fight for themselves, who fight for their interest. In the meantime, most of the Western world's politicians hate their countries, despise their people, would rather ethnically cleanse their own population and replace them with shitholers, and most certainly don't have their people's interests at heart. CNN-watching boomers may lash out at this all they want. But it's the facts. You don't have to like Putin or Russia. Go ahead, hate them all you want. But they have self-respect. And "you" don't. And nobody is going to respect or be on the side of a people who are committing national suicide. Russia is willing to kill terrorists, AND kill them with extreme prejudice. Do I like everything Russia does? No. Russia, for instance, holds the value of human life to be extremely low. They are also extremely corrupt. But to be fair, I'm not so sure we are that much better than them. I just think our country has better PR.
