    That push to the East has always been the death knell of Europe, and it will be again. There are two nations in the world one does not mess around with, and that is Russia and the US. You would think people would have learned by now.

    Relax. Have a Moscow Mule. Mother Russia remains safe. When Trump is elected a glorious new dawn of warm relations will rise.

    I wonder if a PARTIZAN1 is just an answering machine downloaded here by White House? :grin: Looks like now it is broken as it repeats the same staff many times :grin:

    The very fact that Obama was awarded Nobel Peace Prize indicates degradation of Europe politically and culturally.

    This is a new one. I'll add it to the list.

    Sooo.... Muslims, Loss of Christianity, Welfare and now giving Obama the peace prize.
    Damn... I am being assaulted from all sides and my society is crumbling before my eyes! OH NO!


    OT:
    The Russians surely seem like they are preparing the propaganda for war.

    I think that Nobel Peace Prize has nothing to do with European culture. It is rather a political prize, that indeed has been devaluated.

    "Russian barbarians"? Shall we take a little peek at American behaviour?

    Cohen is a Putinista pig, the NATO buildup is entirely necessary in order to defend the Baltics and Eastern Europe from the ongoing campaign of Russian Imperialist expansionism which had seen the RF invade and continue to illegally occupy the territory of two of its neighbors in two unprovoked aggressive wars of expansion and ethnic cleansing in the last decade.

    Your article fails to mention the reasons for the bombings, in each case prior to 1991 US interventionism was a direct result of Soviet/Communist interventionism and Soviet state sponsored terrorism. It ignores the fact that North Korea invaded South Korea with Soviet backing, North Vietnam invaded and sponsored terrorism in South Vietnam, Iran targeted ships flying the US flags and sponsored bombings of the US Marines in Lebanon, Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Serbs were perpetrating genocide I'm Yugoslavia, etc etc et al.

    Hillary Clinton is on record of wanting war with Russia, declaring she wants to shoot down Russian military and civilian aircraft over Syria.

    The internal workings of a sovereign nation which has never threatened America in any way is none of America's business. Bombing innocent countries because of ideological differences is never justifiable.
    Besides which America is no stranger to sponsoring terrorism; Iran-Contra and the support of Pol Pot are just two examples of US duplicity.

    Ah yes because North Korea, North Vietnam, Iraq etc etc et al were completely innocent countries who were definitely not backed by the Soviets and certainly didn't invade their neighbors who happened to be allies of the US. Yes Soviet backed belligerent nations invading their US allied neighbors is absolutely none of the US's business, (*)(*)(*)(*)ing brilliant!

    The US supported the Contras because of the Sandinista/Cuban/Soviet sponsored FMLN terrorists in El Salvador. Again you completely ignore historical context.

    The US never supported Pol-Pot you're thinking of China, the most the US ever did was to abstain from a UNSC Resolution against him we never provided Pol-Pot with arms, money, training, or intelligence and there is absolutely zero actual evidence that we did.

    I seriously think the Russian propaganda force here would benefit from reading the NATO charter and understanding that the United States is only the most powerful member of it. Basically it is a treaty amongst nations designed to protect them all by combining defense as a show of force to prevent aggression. When there is no threat to any of the members it just sits there and stays ready....when there IS a threat it begins preparations for possibilities.
    Russia is complaining because it IS the threat being prepared for as is obvious from recent acts of aggression because a neighbor considered joining.
    The preparation is having the desired effect as we see by Russian employees complaining about it. Fortunately...it is doubtful that even Putin would be stupid enough to do what he did to Ukraine again.

    They always leave out important information like that. Makes the US seem meaner.

    The Sandinista government was democratically elected but, as usual, it was the 'wrong' kind of democracy for America. The USA was prosecuted and convicted for numerous violations of international law with regard to its actions against Nicaragua. Do you always believe what your governments want you to believe?

    Well I did warn you that it would - about 6 months ago when you and I crossed swords on a few occasions. Your precious EU is a dead duck - get used to it!!

    Agree with "political" prize. The very institution of Nobel Prize is a part of European culture, I think. This is an example how politics and culture do not mix.

    People have been saying that for decades. Well.... The last few years it was the Euro, but that seems to have gone away. Now it is the complete disintegration of Europe overnight.
    I know you want to feel important Cerberus. But unfortunately you aren't really and neither is your country. You should worry more about whether the U.K. is coming to an end and not the EU.

    (I hope you got the sarcasm in that post you quoted)

    Considering they were lead by the fool hitler, and fighting on two fronts, it went very well.
