Freedom from old Axis sympathizers. Russia was contemplating solidarity with Hitler when he sent invasion forces toward's Russia's capital to inflict promptness on their alliance to murder Jewish peasants quickly and to take over Russian provinces. Russia then saw the light about Hitler's uncouth takeovers of weak powers, and due to its own propensity to want to rid its nation of Jewish persons who'd been there for generations, went through a Bolshevik bipolar disorder for the next several decades, deluding itself into thinking communism's largess should be inflicted on its allies. Instead, they sent what was left of their military into Berlin to declare victory after playing the ends against the middle of the rest of the Western world, expecting the on=again, off-again cooperation with Europe and Great Britain to crack down on Naziism. They wound up ridding their own nation of 20,000,000 Russian citizens who in any way hated the bad business climate that communism causes when its only order comes from ultra-strong leadership that tends to head a nation into market anarchy, quickly taken advantage of by military monarchy replete with punitive measures against noncooperative regions who once enjoyed the fruits of its own labor. These monarchical types tended to move into a region and sack houses with any sign of evil wealth around, and cart the goods back to Moscow for the powerful communist committee to dispose of. The result was shown in pictures of people lined up for a half mile to get oranges in my Weekly Reader in grade school over here. It was after a little exposure to the sunlight of the truth that Russia froze out the rest of the world in a cold, cold war.
That said, Russia has allied itself militarily with anyone who hates the USA who has friended the beleaguered Jewish world that lost 6 million Jews at the behest of Hitler and other hostile nations. Russia just sent Jews on death marches to its borders and placed its thinkers in special poverty camps in Siberia for "reeducation." (training for atheism as a remedy to all the world's problems arising from human greed). I don't expect a lot of love from Moscow, nor do I expect hatred. Unfortunately, Americans in Russia are dealt with coarsely by being sent to the back of the air bus after paying for first-class tickets, and other cheater deals petty Russian disdain has for commoners from the heart of its distrust over common sense courtesy of not picking people's pockets. We wanted to visit Russia, and when we did, they made sure we were treated like dirt, so no matter how much good will an American may start out with, the Russian people make certain to dish out dirt sandwiches to ensure that commoners know who's the boss. Even so, that seems to be the face Russia wants to show their flip-flop attitude toward former allies in WWII. That's a lot of hate to carry on with following a War they claim they won, but relied on others to died while they rode in to Berlin, and tacking up a nice big wall around its Eastern side that Russia decided to declare itself the sole dictator of so all of Europe would know who the boss is over their lands.
Russia has more oil than any other country, but has decided to first exhaust the Middle East of its reserves, saving its own oil for last, so it will have a firm grip on the future of the world. We're not dealing with rational give-and-take here. Why should we go down the road of playing games with people who are more paranoid than us? They don't want our goods. They want us to run out of oil reserves first, and they'll do whatever it takes to be the last man standing including beating up on anything remotely resembling behaviors outlined in the Ten Commandments that Jewish people adhere to.
It doesn't matter what we do in the by having influence in the UN. Russia will use whatever means it takes to hold out their ace in the hole: big oil, because they think whoever has the last drop of oil will also have the last drop of power on this planet's surface. We are not dealing with fools here. We're dealing with world-class chess players.
How do you beat that, Flopper? I'm just a seamstress. I've even sent quilts to Russian orphanages according to their specifications because my credo teaches me to love my enemies and serve others first. It gives me joy to serve those my credo says God wants me to serve with whatever help I can give--to widows, orphans, elderly people who have nobody else, and those who cannot possibly fend for themselves. My best work, though, went through my political friends in Washington, to comfort military people who were much demoralized with sadness for losing bodily faculties to i.e.d.s, or who received press disdain after we sent the military to nations responsible for destroying the WTC and the Pentagon on 9/11. The information from the intelligence community has put to light who financed this nightmare, sent to kill off as many Jewish people as possible and start nasty rumors about them after 9/11.
I think that's carrying anti-Semitism a little too far.
So you really should be looking to America's intelligence community for answers to international issues, not an old seamstress who prays every day for world peace and that this little quilt will keep some fatherless baby warm, and its presence remind its single mother that somebody cares about her gift of an American citizen to this world we live in over here. For pete's sake, my knowledge is only as good as the Press, and I don't think the press is fair to traditional Americans, our military, or poor people. It only wishes to tittilate those brainwashed through yankee ivy league schools to throw filth all over conservatives who want less government so people can spend their earnings as they see fit, and not as some condescending member of a stuffy Academia-style mind and background at Harvard who wants to push us into communistic-style chaos so somebody else than a Republican form of government complete with individual freedoms built in to the Constitution of 1776. They want "the village" to raise children, not individuals.
And they want the feminazis to diminish the influence of the white male. Go figure.
