Imperialism and Russia

Well I came home sick from school and I had a long time to think about this post...



Lets begin then



Today in History before I left we talked about Imperialism and got on the topic of the US foreign policy.



Thats a tought thing to think about if your the president



Because if your a major world superpower like us should you always help smaller countries out because your most advance or will you be viewed as a bully if you continue to get involved in foreign affairs.....



Also just to get off topic...

I watched this video called "loose change" on Youtube you all should check it out sometime(if you really want to get fired up) its over an hour long so make sure you have time to devote to it....

Anyway

This kid tried to prove or tries to get us to think that the 911 attacks were actually set up by our government just for the sole reason for us to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

ARE YOU *^%*@* KIDDING ME?

To not agree with the government or Bush or anything for that matter is one thing but to believe and want people to believe that your country is responsible for the death of almost 3000 people? This kid should honestly go in for a brain scan and a drug test.

Ok another thing

Some idiots (idiot historians) are now trying to say that we might go into a second cold war with Russia because tensions are starting to build with them and for some reason they think that soon we will again have nuclear warheads pointed at each other ready to fire, almost like an exact repeat of 50 years ago

This again is also a load of bull

For one the only reason that happened is because at that time nuclear weapons were beginning to be massed produced so neither country knew how to handle or deal with countries making them and second, us and Russia have been tense for quite awhile now I don't know how all of a sudden this stuff could turn south

Or more south...

And now the President of Russia has made this prophecy/prediction that the US will fall in the next 10 years and no longer be a world superpower

Interesting....

I mean the US, compared to other countries like Russia, France, Germany, Japan, China is quite young and many people think that we are almost still like a "teenager country" you know trying to establish our identity. But the interesting this is about this "prediction" is that the US is the only major empire to not have fallen.....

I mean maybe falling as an empire is like an initiation so once you go through that you will then be considered one of the "older countries"

But thats scary to think about

To know that maybe one day your republic may fall and the US could be tossed into total anarchy...

Remind me when that is so I can move

On another note, I am just going to comment briefly on the Somali pirate thing

WHY WEREN"T THE NAVY SEALs BROUGHT IN EARLIER???

I listened to Neal Boortz the day that is happened and he said and I quote, "this is what Navy SEALs are for"

In my personal opinion Navy SEALs> Rouge Somali pirates

Just saying

This is how I imagined it going down

*A room filled with hostages tied up somali pirates standing by the doors holding guns looking alert*

*Lights suddenly go out*

*3 gun shots*

*Muffled yells*

*Quick scuffle*

*Lights flip back on, pirates lay dead with hostages released and footprints out the door with a note on the floor with the words, "your welcome" scribbled on it.

Thats how it should've gone down

OK on a more positive note
