Yeah, God forbid we help other countries and God forbid allied nations who put together training exercises and invite the Us to participate.

Sure, Afghanistan and Iraq are much better off now with US assistance as I'm sure Libya,Syria,Yemen and Pakistan will soon feel the same..

The paranoia being expressed by the Russians is being done for another reason and has nothing to do with the joint exercises.

Russia has alreaady pushed ahead with its next generation of mirv warheads, which our defense shield cant stop. The view that this is directed at Russia is based on a lack of understanding of the mad concept. Russia has enough nuclear weapons to render the shield useless.

We are more concerned with a rogue nuclear attack than we are going to war and it turning nuclear with Russia.

The difference between Americans and yourself, is we will actually stick around in our country and try to fix and make changes, instead of running away from it and blaming everyone else.

Are the Russians so weak that they are afraid of one American surface warship? Wow!!!
Because obviously you Americans wouldn't give a damn if a Russian war ship came near your coast eh?
Or does your logic think that Russians are incapable of concern or indeed a defined interest in your suspicious activities?

This site has a motto - Deny Ignorance. The problem is people don’t do that, they don’t seek out the truth. What they look for is any information, no matter how uncredible the source, to use to push an agenda and nothing more.
As an example, your comment about US oil supply and natural resources. You speak as if we have none, and when you are told we do, you attack the post and go off on a rant about it. You completely ignore all of the information that has come out about our oil discoveries, as well as advances in oil extraction technology that has since opened up the oil finds in the Appalachian mountains and parts of the rocky mountains.
Are we not allowed to defend our country when people come into a thread and run it into the ground while using information that is out of date?
Also, and this is my perception so take form what you want, is people seem to have a difficult time separating the US from military affairs and other world affairs / domestic affairs. People make comments about the US that are based on a person’s opinion in one area that spills into another.
People hate the US because of the Iraq and Afghan war. That’s fine; people can think what they want. However it does no good to bring that animosity into a thread that deals with something entirely different than military affairs. The sheer number of comments relating to the US that are just blatantly false is staggering, and it’s done on such a continuous basis it permeates any topic dealing with the US.
If people went off and attacked Canada in just about every thread, making comments based on ignorance and incorrect information, would you not make an attempt to correct that view? I think you would, and I say this because I have seen you do it before.
Anyways.. Like I said, if you want to try and start over I’m willing to give it a shot.
We are on complete opposites ends of the spectrum, and it’s obvious nothing is going to change that.
Your the one who lied about your past so its up to you to correct your mistake. Were you lieing then, or were you lieing now. Besides, your the one who said it, so if it bugs you that much, quit being lazy and go find the quote yourself (to borrow your old fall back that you use when you dont have an answer).

He always does that. You prove Xcathdra wrong and he repeats the same thing you just refuted him on. Believe me, your not the only one it has happened to.
