Putin is playing to the American public and believes we will out of fear force our government to stand down or blink first. He may be right. <br /> <br />Did Syria gas their people or did the rebels pull this off to get the world to come to their aid. I don't know. I know the last time the military said that they tracked the planes that gassed the civilians and knew with certainty that it was Syria that did it. Still waiting this time for that kind of proof.

Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.<br /><br />Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.<br /><br />Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-78375255761162550982018-04-12T06:50:22.406-04:002018-04-12T06:50:22.406-04:00Starting a war with Russia excites the Democrats, ...Starting a war with Russia excites the Democrats, who in my youth had a love affair with Russia back when it was communist. Take Bernie Sanders - honeymoon in Moscow. <br /><br />And there are a lot of Republicans who are pushing for a war with the Russians - over SYRIA? Really?
