PUTIN: 
WE HEARD THIS KIND OF ACCUSATION FROM THE LEFT IN THE 1980'S. THEM THEY ACCUSED REAGAN OF BEING A WARMONGER, WHEN HE REBUILT OUR MILITARY DEFENSES.
MILLIONS PROTESTED.
BUT HE WENT AHEAD AND DEPLOYED THE PERSHING II MISSILES DESPITE HUGE PROTESTS WORLDWIDE THAT HE WAS DESTABILIZING THE WORLD AND CREATING A WORSE ARMS RACE.
WIKI:
BUT REAGAN WAS RIGHT. HIS ARMS BUILD UP AND THE PERSHING DEPLOYMENT HELPED DESTROY THE USSR TYRANNY. WE ON THE LEFT WERE WRONG. I THANK GOD THAT I HAVE LEARNED FORM MY MISTAKE. THAT'S WHY I NOW KNOW THAT:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has cautioned against turning Europe into a "powder keg", referring to Washington's plans to deploy elements of its missile defense system in Europe.
"We consider it harmful and dangerous to turn Europe into a "powder keg" and to fill it with new kinds of weapons," Putin told a news conference after talks with the Portuguese prime minister in Moscow.
"It creates new unneeded risks for the entire system of international and European relations," he said.

380 Pershing II missiles were made. They were first deployed in West Germany from January 1984 and the European deployment was completed in late 1985 with a total of 108 launchers.I WAS OPPOSED TO REAGAN AND THE PERSHINGS AT THE TIME - AND I MARCHED WITH A MILLION OTHER LEFTIES IN CENTRAL PARK; THE EURO-LEFT PROTESTED EN MASSE, TOO. THEY HATED REAGAN THEN AS THEY HATE BUSH NOW.

BUSH IS RIGHT, NOW: WE NEED NMD.YET THE DEMS WANT TO CUT NMD.
THEY'D DISARM US UNILATERALLY IF THEY COULD. FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF COURSE.
THEY'RE WORSE NOW THAN THEY WERE IN THE 1980'S.
THEY'RE AS WELL-MEANING AND AS WRONG NOW AS CHAMBERLAIN WAS IN THE 1930'S.
THIS IS ANOTHER MAJOR REASON WE MUSTN'T LET THEM TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE AND KEEP CONGRESS: THEY'LL WEAKEN US, AND THIS WILL EMBOLDEN OUR ENEMIES.

This is a really telling post, Reliapundit. Psychologically-speaking, it explains a lot of the hostility you feel toward the Left.
ReplyDeletei am hostile to the left: that's the whole freakin point of this blog.
ReplyDeleteBTW: the left was responsible for MOST of the genocide in the 20th century - the bloodiest in all history. it was for the common good, of course.
since leaving the left - a long process which began in 1972, but took until saddam's invasion of kuwait to be completed,i have broadened my reading and come to realize that the left was wrong about everything. and that postmodernism is evil.
i will always be hostile to evil and to forces whcoich oppress humanity.
read my lincoln brigades post, dave.
