Consider: Might The Russian Menace Be Not

The worried pundits are wringing their hands about the Russians and a start up of the Cold War. But Cheney, the American Enterprise Institute and the Neocons are rubbing their hands in gleeful anticipation of a start up of the Cold War- oppurtunity calls. And the American people just rub the fast food grease from their hands before they plug in, turn on and tune out with their electronic entertainment.

The Russian menace is thought to come in a variety of ways. But on second thought we may have already have faced far worse than the Russians cold inflict anew. For example, Russia could manipulate the oil markets. But hasn't Goldman Sachs and others already done that? At least Russia does have oil to sell whereas Goldman Sachs only sells snake oil.

Russia could sell surface-to-surface missles to Syria and disrupt the Zionists plans to nuke Syria at will. Hey anyone who can slow down the Zionazis can't be all bad. Russia might slow the U.S. imperial build up of foreign bases around the world. But that would free up resources for infrastructure here in the U.S. So that could be blessing in disguise.

But what about Venezuela, Hamas, Hezzbollah , Iran and Iraq? Don't we need Russia's help from those threats? How about keeping it simple? The U.S. should just preoccupy itself with domestic challenges and leave out "foreign entanglements". Then we wouldn't need Russia's help.
