Exactly! The *real* Swamp that needs to be drained is our colleges! Their poison spreads out into all aspects of American life, twisting and destroying everything to do with our foundations. If we don’t do something about it fast, we are doomed. The first place to start is deluging those who control the hiring of professors, letting them know in no uncertain terms we are sick of the Marxist monsters they prefer hiring. It would seem public colleges would be subject to public control. Of course, we’re not supposed to know that or, even if we do know, not do anything to claim our rights to that control.

Oh, thank you very much for reading my post, I truly appreciate it. 🙂

These two comments tell me all I need to know about you and your politics/world-view:
1) “The sanctions are an unwarranted huge slap in the face to Putin and the Russian people, …”
2) “Personally, I wish Trump would lift those sanctions against Russia and enter into productive talks…”

Those two comments and your (very) ignorant assertion that Trump “has no ties to Russia and Putin”, without even ONE link to a report or article to substantiate your OPINION, is an example of gross ignorance OR Liberal complicity. Either way you are wrong.

I’ve as recently as yesterday wrote an article detailing Trump’s very close and murky ties to Putin, Russia, and the Russian mob and I used OVER 20 links to evidence, facts and proof, each included more links to more evidence, facts and proof. You linked to nothing and post nothing more than YOUR OPINION. Oh, but you do have 2 links to advert attention away to two people NO LONGER IN OFFICE.

Amen, this is shallow, unsubstantiated, non-verifiable OPINION- NOT anything remotely associated with facts, evidence, witnesses and truth.

Since when is diplomacy “cozying up”? I didn’t suggest taking Putin to raise. Diplomacy may not work, but it should at least be tried. So, you think NATO massing forces on the Russian border won’t have any effect, that Putin will just take it? We’re pushing him on too many fronts, he didn’t go into the Middle East until well after Obama sent Al Qaeda into Syria to try to take out Assad, even then he held back until it was obvious Obama wasn’t going to actually try to defeat ISIS (which has been revealed through WikiLeaks is or at least was funded by the Qataris and Saudis, the pipeline to Europe group our government’s siding with).

The moves are obvious. Cut off Russia’s gas lines through Ukraine to Europe and physically threaten Putin with military build-up along that border, then cut off the proposed gas-line routes to Europe through Iraq and/or Syria he’s partnered with Iran to complete, in an attempt to completely starve Russia of revenue. Putin is running out of options.

To summarize: Hitting Putin with a very real possibility of cutting off his primary revenue source (his existing gas-lines through Ukraine to Europe) and physical threats of danger (NATO troop build-up on his western border) at the same time, without considering his mindset is foolish. Add to those threats sanctions made at the last minute that further damage the Russian economy and Putin’s a very poked bear. Anyone who admires Stalin, as Putin does, should be closely watched and seriously considered, Stalin was a ruthless pragmatist who wasn’t above sacrificing his own people to achieve his goals. The Russian people are being prepared for nuclear war as a very real possibility. Why would that be?
