hey dude... in tis age of the hindsight of the iraq war you really have no ground to make some excuse regarding the moral authority of US actions anywhere in the world. Instead of realizing how OUR actions have CAUSES Russia to arm itslef, much like WE WOULD when Cuba gets ITS nuke silos, you keep reaching for excuses...
when.. again... we knew damn well how this would play out two years ago. Now, you may be of the mind that King US should ahve open jurisdiction on the entire globe but, as you can see, the rest of the world (that we don't have in our pocket) disagrees.
but hey.. if YOU want to push buttons then don't be shocked when reactions happen. Looking for some way to blame Russia for reacting to a fucking American nuke silo in their back yard is a fools attempt to insist that their shit smells lovely despite the gathering flies.
ps.. this is nothing less than this decades version of REAGANS fucked up Star Wars program. Want to keep wondering why arms races happen? Thats fine.. But, you have to ignore your instigation when you do.
FINALLY! Thank you for admitting you don't know what you are talking about. The US is not putting nukes in Europe. Not since Reagan and Gorby agreed on the IMF Treaty and we removed our Pershing IIs. We're putting missiles that shoot down missiles in Europe. Call it Star Wars pejoratively if you want. Reagan's Star Wars was a bluff that worked. Drove the Soviets into xenophobic bankruptcy.
In the instant case, while accusing me of not thinking the US's shit stinks, you run around acting like only the US's shit stinks. I got news bud, everyone's shit stinks. Every country on the face of the planet has interactive interests internationally. We pursue our policies to achieve our foreign policy goals. Some moves on the global chess board are blatant and obvious, but that is a VERY tiny percentage.
When dealing with large and independent actors like Russia and China, the levers you can use against them are few and typically large and complex. Ascribing simplistic notions to multi-year and multi-dimensional policy initiatives is foolish. Ultimately, you may agree with Putin that Europe should be Russia's whipping boy that he can by turns intimidate by nuclear threat and/or intimidate by withholding gas supplies.
If that's the kind of world you think is better, I think I have to disagree with you. The missile shield would provide at least a partial option to the Europeans. But, perhaps, you would prefer total disengagement and isolation?
HA!
yea, dude! It SURE DID WORK! I mean, here we are 20 fucking years later STILL playing the same game of Ironic Roulette... Only THIS TIME around the bluff isn't working quite like you thought it would, eh? Hence the layers upon LAYERS of excuses.
I would prefer not to cry foul AFTER reaching for a sucker punch. If you want to militarize the globe under our dominant control then at least be honest about it. Hell, in reality your opinion isn't that far removed from all those big scary russians currently aiming their missiles at poland and increasing their nuclear capabilities. Indeed, it WOULD take a fucking 80s Reaganite throwback to reflexively knee jerk excuses in the shadow of fake outrage of a predictable russian reaction to American missiles in Russia's back yard, wouldn't it?
