#1 Why would we not join with russia to wipe these Islamotards from the face of the earth

here is Islamic State, funded by Saudi, Qatar and UAE.

Sunni Islamists invading syria. Supported by Hillary and Obama, John Brennan

here they train their kids and film them cutting the heads off adult prisoners, shooting them

a three-year-old given a loaded gun to shoot a prisoner then shouting allahu akhbar. he is three.

watch it. watch the horrible gruesome video and then ask the question - what are we going to do about this?

they will come returning to our countries as refugees when ISIS are beaten

what are we going to do about it? they will be muslim refugees.

#2 IMO, anon1, it's not so much Islam --- I expect the "Power of Islam" to disappear once anti-fracking regulations are removed --- as the fact that Trump sees Russia as a natural ally against the growing power and belligerence of China.

As to John and Lindsey (who is a man - male anyway), I'm not sure what motivates them. Possibly they believe that Trump voters can be incited by anti-Russian rhetorics (after all it was true in their youth when Russia was Soviet Union). Or, they receive funds from China (look up who funded Demosthenes' Philippics)

#3 Right on #2. China and Dems and their assorted crackpots are the ones to watch. Dems think they can tag along with China but China only thinks for their own interests. Dems are useful idiots.

#4 I watched one of my Cold War favorites last evening. Tom Hanks in Bridge of Spies (Francis Gary Powers incident). In discussions on it, an old friend and Russian military expert remarked:

"I actually miss the Cold War compared to today’s Islamic threat. We face an unholy enemy alliance now – the Islamic right and the Western left. They work together because they have the same enemies: Western civilization, Christianity, and the United States of America. Notice all the tears the left sheds over the plight of Muslims here and how they want to increase Muslim immigration."

If you've never watched Bridge of Spies, don't expect validation of intelligence community ethics or handiwork. They had no luck in 'turning' Rudolf Abel (Рудольф Иванович Абель), brilliantly played by Sir David Mark Rylance Waters. Little wonder so many remain skeptical of the Bergdahl exchange, or the long-running events at GITMO.

Occasionally, Hollywood gets it right.

Leaving you with a memorable movie quote:

James Donovan: You have been charged with three counts and nineteen overt acts. Conspiracy to transmit United States defence and atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, conspiracy to gather secrets, and failing to register as a foreign agent.
Rudolf Abel: Do many foreign agents register?

#7 I live in SC and would like to be rid of Graham. He faced fairly weak and divided primary opposition in 2014 and so won the Republican nomination. Which is tantamount to election here. But he should definitely watch out for Nikki Haley or Mick Mulvaney in 2020.

#8 U.S. President Donald Trump should come clean and back moves to "kick Russia's ass" for its alleged meddling in last year's U.S. election, senior Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

Lindsey the Bellicose seems eager to go to war. In that way, he and McCain are much like Hillary. Graham and McCain come across as bitter losers who got their feathers ruffled and feelings hurt. Trump's voters did not sign on for a war with Russia. We have been in about 20 years of war with the Islamicists and it has cost us a lot in money and lives. Trump wants to finish off ISIS and get on with building the economy and strengthening the country. He seems to have a lot of push back to this endeavor.

There has not been any proof provided that Russia meddled with our election or that people on Trump's team were busy meeting clandestinely with Russian officials in violation of the law--so far it has been all accusations and no proof. Show us the proof or STFU.

#9 “Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.”
Lord Palmerston quotes (English Statesman, 1784-1865)

Graham needs to take a chill pill with his Ensure.

#10 Given Miss Lindsay's proclivities I think he meant "lick Russia's ass"

#11 Does Lindsay kiss McCain with that alligator mouth?

Fracking will do more damage to Russia than any limp dick waving.

#12 Lindsey Graham is acting like the old Hearst newspapers drumming up war fever. Thank goodness the McCain never became president. What a maroon.

#14 Lindsey Graham should shut his mouth while the grownups handle things.
