However,

The Russian threat is real, but missiles will not stop it “A crime subculture is spreading in Russia, and it is attaining the status of official culture.”

In judging a nation, one should look at all aspects of a nation, a Trojan Horse does not need to house a multitude.

I am not sure how a missile shield can protect other nations from a growing crime wave.

Other concerns with Russia is it move towards influencing world energy, it movements in Africa and elsewhere, shows a growing spread of influence.

Russia under the tsars indeed had a history of expansionism, but it never went very far westward. This changed dramatically under Communism, as the Soviet Union picked up a wide swatch of client states.

But even into Stalin’s time Russia’s population was growing. Not so today. Russia is losing population faster than any other European country. I think this makes it less and less likely that Russia will return to a policy of expansionism. Every year that passes makes it more difficult for Russia to engage in military adventures.

As for Star Wars bringing down the Soviet Union, no it didn’t, and neither did America’s general increase in military expenditures. This is a fable that conservatives have touted for a long time. It sounds good, but it makes little sense.

The Soviet Union’s economy did not collapse because it tried to keep parity with American military expenditures–it couldn’t, never had been able to, and didn’t much try during the Reagan years. Its economy collapsed because it was founded on a false economic theory and, eventually, was going to collapse anyway. The regime just couldn’t keep up the facade any longer, and the spirit had gone out of the people.

There is much more which can discredit Romney besides the nit wit putting his dog on top of his car. They treat women and kids worst, and their cronies make sure of it.

Offer still stand, bring brother Scott along at lets talk about the Russian links, and why someone and their kids were brutally gone after.

Sounds like Obamacare!

Romney is in the business of putting his money in his pocket, and the office of president would pour more money into the Romney trust fund coffers.

Offer stands Romney, both Mitt and Scott, all three of us see if Sandy Rios is willing to host an interview where we talk about the Russian Connections with the Romney family and their associates, and issues revolving around these associations and connections.

A strong defense is conservative! Gains in technology have made missile defense possible and the United States prides itself on being state of the art at everything. Romney and all conservatives, myself included, are all about strengthening our defenses. Its the foundation of a free nation.

If Mitt and his brother Scott, will be willing to have an interview and talk about the Russian connection with the Romney family and issues revolving around this —- the Sandy Rios talk show on WYLL Chicago, is a good place to meet, if Ms. Rios is willing. Value Voters listen to her program and can we can see if it is” imagined and outlandish claims”, as they well know it is not.

There hasn’t been a period in history when Russian didn’t have internal issues that should have their main concern. It isn’t in Russia’s nature to worry about internal issues, instead they seem to always strive to be a major player in world politics. Having lived in Russia, I know that many Russians still refer to the CCCP days as the golden days. The days where they were a super power, the days when they beat America to space. Any means for them to get back on the world stage and to create a little nationalism among its citizens should be considered a real threat. Look at Georgia!
Plus we aren’t helping these EU countries out with these defenses because we feel like they can’t afford them. We are building ties that will yield huge economic and political pay offs down the road. These types of national affairs are obviously one of the many things that Mr. Community organizer never learned.

I read the article on Russia population imploding, there are two other elements in the demographics and those are ‘value’ elements. One is the divorce has reached high levels, with children having absent fathers, and “A crime subculture is spreading in Russia, and it is attaining the status of official culture.”

In judging a nation, one should look at all aspects of a nation, a Trojan Horse does not need to house a multitude.

Santorum would make a good running mate, too!
