Everybody wishes that they were strong like Superman, but everybody also knows that you have to work within your limitations. YOU are living in the past because you have to have an enemy. The US needs to be in a place wherein we have no enemies, and you don't do that through war, you do it through respect.
 
Well it's not like Russia is losing in Afghanistan. The regime has largely defeated its opposition; the Kurds are weaker. All parties have had to accept a certain amount of Turkish presence and America is not so engaged anymore. I'd say Putin's happy with his goals: client state propped up; free world given a stiff middle finger. Knocked out a few Islamists to boot. Mission accomplished.

If America changed its name tomorrow to let's say the confederate sates of America. They will still be the USA.
Hell Germany changed their flag not even they name after the evils Hitler brought so I guess there is no longer any Nazi's over there? A name and flag change does not erase your history. Russia might be fooling you but not me.

I doubt the US would change their name unless some drastic political change came about. The Soviet Union was disestablished, Russia is its primary successor state, but it's not the USSR. Plus, what is this claim you're making about Germany? Are you saying Germany should have changed their name? Are you familiar with the historical Denazification process that took place in Germany? You seem to have assumed Germany is still Nazi Germany. But it is not. It was once, but no longer. You have to remember that.

So, you said:
SMH they will always be the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
If America changed its name tomorrow to let's say the confederate sates of America. They will still be the USA.

Sorry, it's difficult to understand exactly what you mean... But it seemed like you were saying Germany "didn't even change their name" after the "evils Hitler brought". Obviously, there are still Nazis in Germany, but you seemed to be suggesting Russia was still Communist and comparing Germany to it, and so you were saying Germany was still run by Nazis, or something...? Well, probably you weren't saying that, but that's how it came across...
Anyway, I do actually agree with you that Russia has failed to become a democracy. But they're not the USSR anymore, just the successor state.

Ok thanks for the updated information and lesson on historical facts. I hear you. But I like the title of my thread.
 
All I know is they are laughing at us...

And are about to interfere in yet another USA election.
