Despite a few strategic moves, Putin's also a far cry from the expansionist Brezhnev.</p> <p>Re: Turkey, they shot down 1 jet which was over their airspace &amp; the Syrian resistance killed the pilot (Russia is attacking Assad opponents under the guise of fighting ISIS - like that scenario better?). Certainly nothing to do with fascism. So Erdogan said something dumb, and his approach to power seems regressive - he was still elected rather fairly, so that's what the majority of the country wants.</p> <p>While the GOP seems entranced by man-boy tough-guy proclamations, THEY'RE NOT ELECTED!!!! (yet?) Much of the GOP dislikes Trump, While I've noted Cruz as being rather savvy, that doesn't mean he'll carry the Hispanic vote or be electable. In short, your meltdown rebirthed scenario is likely going to elect Hillary. What's the panic in that? (go ahead, Peter - step in with Apocalypto 2.0)</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Mon, 04 Jan 2016 09:32:37 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 216971 at http://dagblog.com
