You seem to be selective in your facts. The FACT is that Iran has PUBLICLY stated that their goal is to develop nuclear weapons with which to hit/threaten/control their enemies.

As for the 'west' trying to control the world, it is obvious that they aren't the only ones with that desire in their hearts.
 Quoting: JazzyG


Oh, really? Do you have a link to that public statement by Iran? The only ones I have heard is that Iran is against gaining nuclear weapons.

The "West" is the only one bombing countless countries and undermining countless others in order to do that. Others may have aspirations but are completely lacking on the implementation part.
 Quoting: Sun_dancer


Well, since you seem to take Irans' 'made for public consumption' statements seriously, maybe the world should just let them develop nukes.

Maybe then, when their enemies are lying in ruins and the world has been conquered by islamic rule, we can all sit back and pat ourselves on the back for being so understanding of their rights. After all, their history of tolerance and compassion for others has been so exemplary.
 Quoting: JazzyG


Dear neo-con, everyone makes "for public consumption" statements but the fact is Iran has been heavily infiltrated and mired by defectoins and yet there is no evidence of a nuclear weapons program. I hope they don't develop nukes but if they do it is no different than Israel, Pakistan, India, and who knows who else.

Iran hasn't attacked anyone in centuries, unlike, say, other nuclear powers: US, UK, and France (this troika is constantly attacking and undermining countries); Israel (always busy with war, ethnic cleansing, and territorial expansion). One can also make arguments about China, India and Pakistan being a bigger threat.

Most of the world not brainwashed by "the West" sees US and Israel as far bigger threats to world peace than Iran.

Anyway this thread is not about Iran so ... have the last word :).
 Quoting: Sun_dancer


Thank you so much for the label. :o) It's so refreshing to see the tolerance you extol for others being extended to all.

My final word: History has always had a strange way of repeating itself. Have a nice day.
To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

A rock in bad hands killed Abel. A rock in good hands killed Goliath. It isn't about the rock.

A true warrior fights not because he hates the one in front of him, but because he loves those behind him.

Obama says Ukranians would acknowledge "for us to engage Russia militarily would not be appropriate and would not be good for Ukraine."

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55822075


This sums up the pussy-whipped west. Russia has already won.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55583457


OMG, Obama is so stupid. You shouldn't say out loud you don't plan to engage the other guy militarily. OMG, what a moran. Basically he gave green light to Putin rolling over someone else next.
 Quoting: Polemarchos


He's gutless. As long as its "death from above" from a predator drone in Pakistan. Far from news crews to report on it and offend his pansy asses liberal base. Its all good. But when its publicized, Obama must not risk his image of the "progressive president",(the first since Carter) so he wilts like a liberal sissy.

So now we have two instances where the President of the United States, has basically stood silent during the two geopolitical events of his time. A thug dictator using chemical weapons against his own people as they slept and neo-Russian territorial expansionism. Its sad and its embarrassing.

To be clear, I voted for the President twice. On many domestic political issues, I still strongly agree with President Obama. But based on those two incidents alone, I can no longer support him. The United Stated is supposed to stand for something in this world, and as an American, I apologize to all those who look to the United States for leadership.

I don't regret my votes, as there was not a sensible alternative. But the day his term ends can't come soon enough. Hard assed, neo-con, Republican for me from here on out. Someone who knows how to defend a nation and an alliance and how to project American values to the world.

So, are we done then? Ukraine pulling out of Crimea. Russia saying it's not going to invade eastern Ukraine unless there's a massacre. Obama saying there's no military plans. Doom off I guess. Still a fascinating situation, but not very Doomy anymore.

In 1984, Golitsyn published the book New Lies For Old, wherein he warned about a long-term deception strategy of seeming retreat from hard-line Communism designed to lull the West into a false sense of security, and finally economically cripple and diplomatically isolate the United States.

In 1995 he published a book containing purported memoranda attributed to Golitsyn entitled The Perestroika Deception which claimed:

"The [Soviet] strategists are concealing the secret coordination that exists and will continue between Moscow and the 'nationalist' leaders of [the] 'independent' republics."

Yup. Basically he has shouted from a mountain top that every other power out there can go ahead and do what it pleases in the next 2 years of his term. suicide

Only good thing in this is that the other powers are probably so surprised that they will think a bit whether this is a US trap. chuckle

But I don't think they'll think too long because they have a 2 year window they may never have again.

Here's the thing that is most glaring for me. With Kiev and with Crimea there was the threat of troops and military action but it didn't turn bloody. Yes, some lost their lives in Kiev but it could have been worse. Now imagine if the people took over DC and demanded that Obama step down, you know troops would be used on the people. it happened before and it would happen again. When Russia just took over the Ukraine base it was not a battle, they let the soldiers there leave with possessions. I find that quite interesting, I wouldn't say it was peaceful but it was better then I expected.

Obama and Kerry being devious regarding demands for EU sanctions on Russia...

[link to www.voltairenet.org]

Many, many, big EU based corporations would GO UNDER if they lost their Russian markets... Bankrupt! Kaput!

Likewise, the removal of those very companies would IMPROVE the positions of their AMERICAN COMPETITION!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25386277


I did read the other day that the Czech Republic were saying that sanctions on Russia were going to cost them about 40000 jobs, and some of the Baltic states were already totting up how many millions in compensation they'd be seeking from the EU, for making them suffer because of the sanctions they're all pushing the EU to impose on Russia.

Like, sanctions is bad for them but they've all got Dollar (or Euro) signs in their eyes about how much they can claim in compensation.

All Putin has to do is wait and let the new Ukrainian govt. cut the pensions in half, sell out what's left of the economy to the IMF, while Russia doubles the Crimean pensions, and pours resources into the Crimean economy.
Six monthes or so, things should sort out for the Ukrainians - unless of course the new Nazi govt. does something stupid regarding Russia, which is entirely possible - in which case, all bets are off.

This is finally good statement coming from some of the western capitals.Time to seriously deescalate things.
Why do you constantly blame Russia for taking advantage of one unbelievable strategic blunder done in our name by our leaders?
They could not overthrow Yanukovitch so quickly without help of those local thugs.And now that they smelled power they are not going to just disappear and go away.
And Russians has used them as an pretext for their own plan. So we gave them green light.We played their card.
Nothing will help fact that western powers have been played while thinking they are the ones leading the game.

Now they have to somehow get rid of those extreme right in Ukraine that are getting out of control just like it happened with Arabs.In the end they just might ask Russians for a help.
At the moment they are crying out loud, threatening, complaining..being so obviously butthurt but as the times go by they will or further escalate things having no chance to seriously do anything against Russia.They will simply play the Russia card again.. and I'm afraid most of them are stupid enough to do that as they are not lead by reason but by butthurt feelings and ambitions.
Or...What Obama is talking about means that not everyone is that stupid even within TPTB or NATO.

At the moment they are crying out loud, threatening, complaining..being so obviously butthurt but as the times go by they will or further escalate things having no chance to seriously do anything against Russia.They will simply play the Russia card again.. and I'm afraid most of them are stupid enough to do that as they are not lead by reason but by butthurt feelings and ambitions.
Or...What Obama is talking about means that not everyone is that stupid even within TPTB or NATO.

And by the way what credible threat of force you are talking about? You can do that to Iraq or Namibia.But you can not do that to Russia and be credible.? I mean that is so stupid. Imagine just being on the street seeing person 2 meters high strong as MF.. and you gonna come up to him and give him "credible" threat of force?

What an joke.

That is why people should be more careful with what they post, a lot of what has been said here seems to have been used in Russian propaganda. Not sure if it's because the views made are right or because they find the views helpful.
 Quoting: alexisj9


Yes, of course they read it - both sides will read this and many other sites and use what they can from them. Wish I could get a job doing that for a living - I'm skint! I could be a shill, I have my price, anyone?
