Moscow's Sphere of Influence

Russia has accused the EU of trying to carve out a new sphere of influence in what Moscow sees as its own backyard.

 

English Translation:  "We will continue to rape this former Soviet Republics, and we don't want anyone to interfere."

 

For centuries, Russia has invaded and controlled their own people and neighbors, under different names and pretext, and they are determined to continue to do so, demanding that the rest of the world lends a blind eye, using gas, oil, assassination and their nuclear arsenal as their 'convincing' arguments.

Moscow left a legacy of corruption and a class of oligarchs in every former Soviet nation, to insure their dependency on Russia and show the world how those young nations are 'not ready' for EU or NATO membership.

H1B Visa and missiles.

Software that allows companies to function and compete, will be written somewhere.  US companies will do it here: creating jobs, generating tax revenue and new patents, or back in India, China, etc.

What is in our best interest?

We should dramatically expand the H1B visa program to allow the world’s best minds (many graduated here) to contribute to our intelligence-pool, communities and society.

After graduating from our engineering schools (too few Americans chose Engineering) , interning or temping in our best corporations, we deny their requests to remain here and be part of America.  Back home (China, Russia, Arab countries, etc.) they practice what they learned, some building software companies that compete with us, some building advance electronics, weapons and delivery methods.

No long ago, our Company had working side by side an American Engineer who had worked developing missiles to deliver weapons to the USSR, and a Russian Engineer with experience in Russia developing missiles aimed at us.  It was reassuring that both engineers are working here.

If we care to put our interests first, the choice for the H1B visa program is clear.

They don't hate America!

The concept that being nice, just, generous, patient and understanding will keep us safe, develop good and stable relationships with other nations and allows us to live a comfortable life, is an illusion, a fairy tale.

This illusion has been transmitted to our youngest generation in colleges everywhere, and by the ‘feel good’ party known as Democrats.  A lie repeated enough times becomes ‘truth’ and many in our younger generations now believe the legend.  The fact is that we fought many wars, dropped countless bombs, used pressure, etc. to achieve the world status we have today.  This is what every other nation did or attempted, throughout history.

Feeling Good is not the sole goal of the 'feel good' people, but to preserve and sanction their intellectual laziness to confront a non-so-pretty reality of the human condition, their appetite and imperfections.

America was not built on that illusion, and it can’t survive if we stick to conducts dictated by it.

We have to put America first.  We have friends and enemies, and we should treat them accordingly.

People elsewhere do not hate us because are rich and powerful, they admire and envy us for that.  They want what we have, they are competing with us.   Obama did not have to go on the Apology Tour, we have nothing to apologize for and a lot to be proud of: millions gained their freedom thanks in no small part to America.  Life in this planet is better because of us.  We are the beacon, the promise of freedom, liberty and prosperity for billions in this world; people that admire and emulate us.

People around the world do not hate us. Most of them would live here if allowed.

We made this country fighting, and we can only keep it great by the same means.

Taking the ‘high moral ground’ it is, for those who seek refuge from the real world, just an excuse to let others do the ‘dirty’ work for them, even despite them.

We are at war, in multiple fronts, taking the guard down by tying our hands behind our backs, and disclosing our fighting methods to the enemy, is the stupidest, most self-defeating action we can take.

On the other hand, the ‘humble, nice, principled’ Democrats, by thinking that USA can still win the battle with our hands tied, are showing supreme arrogance, since to them, we are so far superior that we can still win while so handicapped against other ‘obviously’ so inferior competitors. 

The REAL Big Issues

I am afraid that the ‘big issues’ pale in comparison to the real danger of Obama’s plan to build a 250,000 member AmeriCorps added to his militant force of ACORN and labor unions.  

 

Obama is repeating the experience of Mussolini, Hitler, Mao and Peron who managed to create a youth movement that wielded enormous power.  Made up of ignorant, irrational and fanatic followers, those people though propaganda and intimidation will not only insure a ‘legitimate’ re-election of Obama and his designees after him, but alter our way of life forever.

 

This effort is way underway, and he owes his election to it.  What can we do?
