    Russia gets Crimea

    "The United States' cavalier military action thousands of miles from its borders is putting Ukrainians, including ethnic Russians, in harm's way. The US is meddling in an internal Novorossiya matter and an errant bomb or missile could kill innocent civilians. We all saw the humanitarian crisis...

    Russia gets Crimea

    It looks like Putin could very well get what he wants - annexation of eastern Ukraine. Like many things in foreign policy, he can get it simply by having bigger balls than his opponents (the West). The Russian strategy seems to be to try to provoke Ukraine into a large scale response. The...

    Brazil Snubs Boeing in 4 Billion Dollar Jet Fighter Purchase

    I'm all for Illuminati conspiracy theories but the mainstream statist news media is covering it, and mentioning the NSA right in the first few lines: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/18/brazil-jets-idUSL2N0JX17W20131218...

    Suppose the stock market loses 20% of its value tomorrow..

    Suppose the stock market loses 20% of its value tomorrow..

    "Red Line" Crossed in Syria. 9/14- US/Russia Reach Deal: One week to document chems

    I think Obama thinks he needs to send a clear message that chemical weapons can "never" be used without severe consequences, as part of his legacy as a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. But it is my understanding that chemical weapons have previously been used in the Syrian conflict, albeit on a...

    "Red Line" Crossed in Syria. 9/14- US/Russia Reach Deal: One week to document chems

    Gulf of Tonkin the Cold War era CIA "Team B" People have reason to be skeptical. And last I heard the German intelligence agency thought Syrian troops used the chemical weapons without regime permission. Obama has sure made it sound like Assad himself sent the order.

    John Kerry defuses Syrian powderkeg

    I was reading a NYT article and the comments were eye opening. People calling Kerry a "master statesman" and contending there is no way his comment was really off the cuff, even after a State Department spokesperson described it as such. And NYT "editors" (or interns?) were thumbs upping the...

    Cops Murder Another One In Cali

    I believe this forum leans libertarian to a degree much greater than does the general American population. The particular story in question appears to be a sad case of police overreaction. But isolated incidents such as this do not dampen the general trend of increased police presence and...

    Cops Murder Another One In Cali

    More tough talking internet vigilantes in this thread. The majority of Americans want a strong police presence in society, surveillance, and tough laws to fight criminals and terrorists. Face it you libertarian losers, your antiquated ideas of free-dumb are going the way of the dinosaur.
