Russian Subs Off Our Coast

It is hard to know what to write about. There is such a target rich environment. I guess what is on my mind the most is the two commie submarines patrolling off the east coast. I said in one of my first posts, the leopard does not change it's spots. I rarely agree with Senator McCain on anything, but when I see Putin, like McCain, all I see is a K, and G and B. This hearkens back to the cold war days. Twenty years ago the Sov's where doing this nonsense. The difference now is that when they are found out they are not running for the hills. Why is this you might ask? They linger without fear because they KNOW that the current administration is weak and will do nothing. Reagan would have been dropping torpedoes out of helicopters, and the fleet would chase them away or blow them out of the water.
The weirdest thing is that the Soviets are not even denying they are there, in fact they are boasting. So what is The Chosen One doing about this. Not a damn thing. The drive by media is complicit as well. On my way to the smoke dock at work, the commentator said that there was nothing to worry about as the subs were attack subs, not boomers (Ballistic Missile Submarines). This was comforting for about thirty seconds until I remembered this little pearl. We have attack subs that can launch cruise missiles. No big deal right? Wrong. Those babies can pack nuclear warheads. Granted not big ones, but I would hate to see one go off on say....Manhattan. Worse, in D.C. But then I wondered do the commies have this type of weapon? Indeed they do. The RPK-2 Viyuga is just such a weapon. The only difference is that instead of a special vertical launcher, it deploys from a torpedo tube. The subs are NATO reporting type Akula class attack subs. These subs are more than capable of launching the RPK-2 for a first strike. They Russians know it, our politicians know it, and despite their pitiful platitudes, the Pentagon knows it.
The main question is, why are the Russians rattling their sabers now? Like sharks, they sense blood in the water. They want to press their interests in Georgia again, and they sense the weakness of their prey. Pravda is boasting that we are shaking with fear. Worse, because of who our leader is, they are right.
I personally do not want any foreign nukes that close to my country. Many of you do not either. So what is the solution? Depth charges and torpedoes until they run like whipped curs or sink like stones. The Chosen One will not do that though. I am sure he sees them as his fraternal socialist allies here on a mission of peace. Besides, he is to busy encouraging children to inform on their parents in the best traditions of socialism.
This is scary shit brothers and sisters. I think we are deep in the cakey now, but Dear Leader does nothing. Keep your powder dry citizens.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DEATH TO HER ENEMIES!

The Leopard Does Not Change Its Spots

So as everyone should know by now, the Soviets have invaded a foreign nation. Now Joe Blow America may think this doesn't matter to him. Of far more importance to are the prices of a gallon of gas or milk. The better informed of my readers know the deeper repercussions of this conflict, but for those who don't, here it is.

First there is a major oil pipeline out of the Hell Pit, the Middle East, which runs right through Georgia. The Soviets lust for control of this pipeline in a bid to control the flow of oil. As with all war, it is merely armed robbery writ large. If you think the commies controlling more of the world's oil supply won't affect prices at the pump then I suppose that respiration, chewing gum and walking all at the same time comes as a big intellectual challenge for you.

Secondly the Soviets are trying to recapture the glory of the empire they once held. Invading Georgia is but the first step. The next step is to attempt to retake the other lost "provinces." There is a reason that four other presidents from former Soviet Bloc countries have closed ranks behind Georgia. They see the way the wind is blowing. Putin, since he has come to power, has made his goal to recapture the nations that broke away after the fall of the Soviet Union. This is so obvious that a blind man could see it. This is naked and brazen Soviet imperialism.

So at this point the question becomes where are the protesters? Where are the no blood for oil and other anti-imperialistic slogans? They are here, making sure that the American people do nothing. They berate us for trying to aid other peoples realize freedom through self determination. They scream at imagined acts committed by America but done in reality by these commie bastards. They ensure that we can not help our freedom loving brothers in the former Soviet bloc. In the best tradition of the modern Democratic Party and "Big Joe" Kennedy these appeasers want us to give the Soviets carte blanche in the region.

Let's consider this scenario for a moment. A nation with imperialistic aspirations sends in insurgents of a "shared cultural heritage" to cause trouble. The local government moves to stop the unrest. Under a thinly veiled guise of peacekeeping forces, the imperialistic wannabes send in troops to protect the people of the "shared cultural heritage." Next thing you know we have a nation under occupation. Does any of this sound familiar? Does this sound like the Russian/Georgian conflict? It should, but this is not the conflict of which I speak. This is the methodology that Hitler used to justify the invasion and occupation of Austria. Using a stalking horse is a time honored justification for visiting all manner of nastiness on your neighbors.

I recently read an article in the New York Times describing how the world at large has left the Soviets no other options other than military action for dealing with the issues they have with Georgia. The world has turned a blind eye to the plight of Mother Russia and the insurgents that they have infiltrated into their neighbor. These are two of the very same arguments that "Big Joe," Neville Chamberlain, and the surrender-monkey (French) president used to justify a policy of systematic appeasement of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Who do these clowns think they are fooling? They think they are fooling you. What's worse, by and large, they are. It is only human nature to believe, "What I tell you three times must be the truth."

America must stand up to the "Traditional Enemy." We should give Georgia, and any former Soviet vassal state, expedited NATO membership. We tried this already but it was blocked by the surrender-monkeys and the Germans. To hell with them I say. Since America can't seem to gather the will to oppose our so called NATO allies, I propose that we send our own peacekeepers. Maybe we should send humanitarian aid. I suggest a carrier task group and the 1^st infantry division. We will quickly see if the Sovs have the stomach to occupy a nation friendly to America with 10,000 soldiers and two carriers sitting off their coast loaded with war shots. Alas this is not to be. None of the gutless wonders in Washington will stand up for our brothers abroad. At times like this I wonder what Reagan would do? I can tell you this, he would do nothing. He would do nothing because he wouldn't have too. The Soviets would never stand against a strong nation led by a man of such determination and will. They would cower before the man who broke their nation once before, not by conquest but by giving them the rope, inviting them to insert their heads and pull the shiny lever. The world knew that the sheriff was in town, and wouldn't dare make a move under his gaze. Reagan knew that whatever they called themselves, a Soviet is still a Soviet, and a leopard NEVER changes its spots, even if you wish ever so hard. Maybe we should find another leader like that.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DEATH TO HER ENEMIES!
