The Utter Stupidity of the New Cold War

[David_TheMan]

NATO should have never expanded to Russia's border. I don't blame Russia's paranoia given the history with it's European neighbors.

With that said, I find it funny, that right wingers like OP are now changing their tune with respect to Russia because their Fuhrer is now Putin's bytch.

I'm not a right winger and the author of the article isn't a right winger, he is actually a left winger, like most of the writers at counterpunch

I'm not, being a proponant of austrian economics, doesn't equal being a right winger, especially in the american sense.

don't be naive. russia and the us can not have a mutually beneficial relationship and be buddy buddy like trump wants. them influencing the election is the tip of the iceberg in terms of aiming to manipulate foreign govs for their benefit and make russia great again to the detriment of everyone else. we don't have to be on the brink of war, but we also don't need to be in bed with them.

 

[David_TheMan]

How is being peaceful and respecting a fellow nation in the world equate to being in bed with them?

Would you prefer to die in a nuclear exchange...?

You are getting that anyway

Why not?

The Russian president is attacked by the U.S. political class and media as they never attacked Soviet leaders; he is personally vilified as a corrupt, venal dictator, who arrests or assassinates political opponents and dissident journalists, and is hell-bent on the restoration of the USSR.

Isn't Putin all of these things though?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Kremlin signed off on the op.

In the grand scheme of things the cold war never ended. Just different players in the game.

these cacs are caping so hard for Russia because Putin and Russia are white

Do you seriously believe this? It is in all of humanity's best interest to not have conflict between the US and Russia. Race wont mean a thing if were all threatened with nuclear war.

If we take the racial angle, which is super-dumb, do you think black people have an interest in this mess ? If you take the racial angle, take it to the end.

He isn't all except he doesn't want to actually restore the USSR, simply is a pragmatic who wants to keep Russia from being a US vassal state. In the end he is the same as every US leader in modern history

you know it's true so you could keep the screamin a side eye to yourself. that's how y'alls operate.

I know white supremacists that are now Kanye fans because he had one meeting with KKKomrade Trump

No. Not at all.
