It's ok to be prejudiced towards things that are bad for you. It's called "self preservation". You should look into it sometime.
We need a modern Crusades against islam.

If you go back a little further, you will find US nukes in Turkey aimed at the USSR. It's always more complicated than you think.

This from the jerkoffs that want to start a database registry of all the Muslims in America.
Sounds like a GREAT idea! Why don't you go to their country and see how long you get to keep your head on your shoulders?

Exactly. We got outflanked by Nikita big time. We pushed him, he responded, we backed off, then so did he. Yet its reported as this huge American victory LOL!

Jupiter missiles in Turkey were obsolete anyway.

It was. With the withdrawal of missiles in Cuba, the Russians had no nukes on our immediate doorstep. We withdrew obsolete Jupiter missiles from Turkey, yet had the Russians still surrounded by nukes based in Europe and the ME.

Which kind of dispels the notion that they were unilateral savages ready to invade every inch of the earth but for the might of the USA :roll eyes:

No one despises commies more than me. But we were far more aggressive towards them than they were to us (unless you include the internal subversion we've put up with for 2-3 generations (oh no MCCARTHYISM TRIGGER WARNING!). This continues even today. They put troops in their own country on their own border and we call that provocative, then we conduct huge exercises and stage troops near their borders, having them completely surrounded and outflanked, with 800 bases on 70 countries spending tens of times more on our military than they do on theirs, yet call relatively small increases in their military spending provocative. Please. We played war college nation building yet again by interfering with a democratically elected regime in Ukraine thinking we would whisk them into the glory of our "sphere of influence" isolating them from one of their most strategic military assets imaginable, and they finally say no and protect their interests and we go screaming HITLER! NAZI INVASION! THUG! NAZI! HITLER!

I'm not a huge fan of Putin by any means, but the global billionaire elites hate him, so that's good enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt on some things.

Well that and it is the closest tropical place to the US besides the Bahamas. Plus, they have better cigars and rum than the Bahamas.

Same thing that was wrong with putting Japanese-Americans in internment camps and Jews in concentration camps.

Have you ever considered that this kind of attitude might just motivate MORE people into terrorist splinter groups?
