Waynet should have realized that RichieLion has now taken to calling Democrats by "Social Democrats" and actually trying to make people believe that is the same as the Nazi Party. :loco:

If propaganda techniques are similar; is it wrong to take note of that?

History repeats itself all the time in strange ways.

Also, I said "Socialist Democrats"; that's way more descriptive and accurate.

Is there like a minimum age for folks to be able to post on here ?

I recall being told on this forum by a poster that worrying about Russia was like going back to the 50's and very backward looking.

Well, we see them in Syria and just read this...wondering if this is just nothing to be concerned about...

"A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in strategic U.S. waters was only confirmed after it left the region, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

It is only the second time since 2009 that a Russian attack submarine has patrolled so close to U.S. shores.

The stealth underwater incursion in the Gulf took place at the same time Russian strategic bombers made incursions into restricted U.S. airspace near Alaska and California in June and July, and highlights a growing military assertiveness by Moscow.

The submarine patrol also exposed what U.S. officials said were deficiencies in U.S. anti-submarine warfare capabilities.

Nobody to worry about...

" CHICAGO, Aug 14 (Reuters) - U.S. wheat futures fell for a
third session on Tuesday, erasing early strength and setting a
one-month low after Egypt bought Russian and Ukrainian wheat at
an international tender and sent a signal that U.S. grain was
overpriced, traders said."

The Russian coffers are filling up again. There will be much mischief and trouble making by them. Count on it. They have learned their lesson not to get involved with troops in long, drawn out ground wars.

Explain why I should be afraid of Russia?

The US is overwhelmingly the biggest military in the world. We are the only nation that still maintains bases outside of our own territory. And you know we routinely send submarines as close to Russia as we can get and that doesn't mean we are planning to attack them. If I understand the article, the Russian sub stayed in international water and was never detected. The British have nuclear subs, the French, the Chinese, and likely the Israelis too.

Besides, I feel real safe as Half governor Palin can keep an eye on Russia from her house.

Some of your points are well taken.....the point was supposed to be the emrgence of Russia on the world scene. You obviously missed the point...I also included a link to the USA losing sales to Russia.

And you failed to address the fact that the subs were UNDETECTED !
