I am reading frustration with the USA. That frustration is well deserved for the Bush Administration appears determined to place Israel in a position that will threaten Israel's existence and rob Israel of her heritage.
A Samson Blinded post expresses this frustration the USA to the extent that the feeling expressed that Russia would make just as good an ally (if not better) than the USA.
Having a Russia as an ally though would merely be exploited to embarrass the USA and then later aid the Arab Muslims to embark on the Islamic Final Solution - the eradication of Jews from the Middle East and the total destruction of Israel.
A Russian alliance is a bad idea.

Okay, I know I am probably a neocon blowhard. I also know that Georgia is not in NATO.
On the other hand I know that Russia has oppressed the Georgian people either under Czarist or Soviet rule over the last two hundred years.
I know that Georgia was one of the “coalition of the willing” when America decided to end the genocidal terrorist supporting regime of Saddam Hussein while Russia was definitely one of the European supporters of allowing Saddam Hussein’s reign of terror to continue. Indeed Georgia had 2000 troops in Iraq that America airlifted back to Georgia to face the big bully Philistine Goliath Russia.
Where is the American and Western Democracies (that still a little military oomph) at in telling Russia get out or we will join and kick you out.
Yeah, yeah I know. The rest of Europe has become pussies because economically Russia is a huge supplier of oil and natural gas.
I know this is a tired cliché, but this fear of war thing to keep the status quo has become the entry level to future military devastation for quite some time. First the carnage of WWI became the set-up not to mess with Hitler and look what happened. Then Europe (and geez America) KNEW Stalin had turned the Soviet Communists into the evil empire and did nothing to nip in the bud what would be a half century of Democracy/Communist Cold War with blood spilled among mutual client States.
Just think if America and Europe had the cajones to act on George Patton’s warning of the Soviets rather than firing him. Sure WWII would have shifted from Germany to the USSR but the combined Democracies and the only nation in possession of a nuclear bomb would have crushed the Communist Evil Empire.
So what is the world’s Democracies doing about Russian aggression? Probably rightly trying to find a diplomatic solution for Georgia and Russia; however I place no trust in the Russian liars.
Russia has already said they have called a cease fire and pulled back and are not in Gori, Georgia. The news channel I was watching demonstrated Russia was a liar because they should live feed of Russian tanks moving into Gori rather than out of Gori.
It is time to rally the Democracies to step up and show preparedness for war. I mean NATO existed to thwart Soviet aggression. What’s the difference? Did not Western Europe receive the benefit of oil and gas from pipelines that were under the former USSR control? So if Brezhnev had said if you protect small nations from the USSR that were NATO members, would NATO fold because of the potential of an economic rough time?
I mean Turkey is part of NATO as well. This is a chance to demonstrate a modern government instead of an Islamic government and start toot’ in the anti-Russian horn.
Okay enough venting. This is what Yahoo News says about the current state of affairs in Georgia and Russian aggression.

1913Intel.com has picked an essay from Stratfor.com relating to bilateral relations between China and Russia. (Thus I have accomplished part of my due diligence of giving credit to who credit is due.)
Now you really need to read this essay by Peter Zeihan entitled, “China and Russia’s Geographic Divide”.
BUT before you do read Zeihan’s essay you need to have some thoughts in the back of your mind.
Consider that Russia (as the USSR) was a fomenter of instability in the Middle East during the Cold War rallying Mohammedan Nations with huge arms sales in the Islamofascist quest to wipe Israel off the map. Fortunately American sold weaponry (with Israeli innovation) was far superior to the old Soviet weaponry. It was fortunate because the little slice of Land known as Israel repeatedly defeated invading Mohammedan Armies from the North, West, South and (kind-of) East. So much were the Israeli victories that Israel re-attained some of their ancient heritage which America and the West is currently pressuring Israel to give up.
With the end of the Cold War and the downfall of Soviet Communism, the large installments of weaponry have not been forthcoming from Russia. On the other hand America was attacked by Islamofascist terrorists on American soil which has led America to become embroiled in an anti-terrorist Global War on Terror (GWOT) concentrated mostly in the Middle East.
Russia has taken this opportunity to trade technology more than weaponry. Sadly this has been with rogue nations Iran (primarily) and Syria. It is Russia that is aiding Iran with nuclear training lying to the world that Iran is going nuclear for peaceful purposes. Thus Russia has made every effort in the U.N. Security Council to water down harsh sanction to Iran just as Russia did with Iraq when Iraq was the recipient of technology. There is no smoking gun on WMD in Iraq but it is fairly common knowledge that Russia Special Forces smuggled the chemical WMD out of Iraq just prior or during the American invasion and HUGE amounts of weapons grade uranium was recently transported to Canada for peaceful processing.
Then there is China. China is also on the U.N. Security Council and its story is similar to Russia. China has been selling weapons in exchange for oil to Iran. And I suspect to old Saddam Hussein as well under the table so to speak (On the link scroll down to “What did Iraq buy with the money?”).
Thus there is the appearance that Russia and (still Communist) China are in cahoots for oil reasons AND geopolitical reasons to offset the hegemony of America. Like I said though, it is an “appearance.”
Peter Zeihan demonstrates with a little history and a little observation of China and Russia’s National Interest such an appearance of an alliance might be more illusion than reality.
Now you are prepared to READ “China and Russia’s Geographic Divide.”
