With Friends Like These: A Look Into How Our Allies Are Our Enemies

Some of the most scariest phrases that can be muttered in the political world at least to folks that have a reasonable amount of common sense are the words, we have to rally our allies. Now a lot of people are thinking what are you talking about, rallying our allies is a good thing isn't it? Well it depends on what is usually meant by allies.

A liberal can say allies and a conservative can say allies and mean two completely different things. When a liberal usually says allies he means one of the following: China, Russia, the United Nations, etc. When a conservative says allies he usually means military supporters like: Israel and Britain. See now you have to completely different worlds right there.

The reasons I bring this up is in response to the case of what has been recently happening in Russia. For those of you who haven't been able to follow it, since Putin took office in 2000, and don't think it was just going on during Putin it happened before him, there has been this trail of blood on critics of his government. There have been like 16 deaths of journalists who the government had labeled as being critics of Putin as well as this recent case with this man who died of radiation poisoning.

Russia is not our ally, and I'm sure the great ol' gipper is probably rolling in his grave right now as these morons in power make decisions bringing Russia to the tea party as if there long lost friends. Russia has and will screw us every chance they get to do so. Why we haven't learned from experience I don't know. Russia was sending arms to Iran while we were first getting involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom and when they got caught, our own government basically blew it off as if it was nothing. If that doesn't anger you, let me continue.

When Bush first met Putin, Bush praised him and has done so since then. The two are practically joined at the hip but again what does Putin stand for. It has been shown that they've back stabbed us every single chance they can, and when news comes around that there supplying fundamentalist quacks like Ahmanutjob in Iran, the ally label kinda fails to stick don't it?

Believe it or not, when the USSR fell, the only thing that fell was the status quo. The idea of that type of government is still well and alive over there, and as of recently the ol comrades are starting to shine through again in there decisions being made over there. But will we be careful? From I what I see the answer is no.

We should be very concerned over what Russia is doing and what China is doing, but mostly all I see is a bunch of attention less empty suits on both sides of the aisle. Nobody is paying attention to the border, nobody is watching what our supposed "allies" are doing, hell it seems were not even paying attention to what our enemies are doing anymore.

But if we do not read the a handwriting on the wall and start solving these problems the way they need to be solved we will be involved in a conflict that will make the mess in the middle east look like Saturday in the park.
