You must really hate America to talk **** like that.
I love this nation.
Clearly you do not. Haters gonna hate.
The President simply does not want to do anything to risk loosing his peace prize.
Ironic, since the first American (as well as US President) to have won the Nobel Peace Prize was none other then President Theodore Roosevelt.

If that is clear, why say it?
I don't see any evidence for your conclusion..
I don't recall having asked you. US Con is famous for accusing others of hating America. He thinks anyone left of Attila the Hun hates America. He is just as guilty.
TC, just admit its a baseless argument. Whats up with that?

No, it is much more then that.
Rational nations try as hard as they can do achieve their goals in any way they can, short of war. Diplomacy, intrigue, posturing, one-upmanship, détente, misinformation, these and many more are legitimate tools of statecraft on the world stage.
And neither the US nor USSR/Russia is really that much of a "warmonger", contrary to what some people mistakenly believe. Now if the nuclear balance of power was between say Nazi Germany and France, or Early Showa era Japan and the US, I would not have expected anywhere even close to the amount of restraint that the US-USSR showed.
Neither the US nor the USSR felt it needed to go to war, their political system would eventually win it all each side thought, because it was superior to the other. The Cold War was much more about posturing and propaganda and forwarding a political system then it ever was a military struggle. And in the long run, the military struggle was a loosing one for the Soviets. They may have won in Vietnam, but they lost in Korea and Afghanistan (as well as loosing almost their entire client base in South-West Asia and North Africa).
I do not ask for your permission to comment on your posts.
I have never seen that poster accuse anyone here of hating America,
I really don't give a flying ****.
Of course you haven't. You're not paying attention. Big surprise there. You have already proven you don't know jack about squat. US conservative is famous for his hatred of all things left and of all people left. So stick your head back in the sand and carry on.
Riga (AFP) - The United States on Monday delivered more than 100 pieces of military equipment to vulnerable NATO-allied Baltic states in a move designed to provide them with the ability to deter potential Russian threats. The deliveries are intended to "demonstrate resolve to President (Vladimir) Putin and Russia that collectively we can come together," US Major General John R. O'Connor told AFP as he oversaw the delivery of the equipment in the port of Riga.
The delivery included Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, Scout Humvees as well as support equipment and O'Connor said the armour would stay "for as long as required to deter Russian aggression". The three former Soviet-ruled Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, all NATO and European Union members since 2004, have very little miliary hardware of their own.
US sends heavy armour to Baltic states to 'deter' Russia
Lesser things have started wars but, takes two to tango.
I am not sure about something...is this equipment being operated by Americans or Baltic States miltary personnel? Or is it neither and it is just sitting their 'in case'?
TC, I dont hate anyone. And I KNOW Ive never used that term on the forum, so try again.

Gee, you'd almost think that Obama is treating Russia as a geopolitical threat. I guess the 80's got their foreign policy back.
