Hello All, I hope all is going well.

Russia is up to their old tricks, which are attacking other countries and threatening the United States with nuclear weapons.  I guess Russia forgot that NATO exists and those countries who have agreements with NATO will receive protection.  The United States is supplying weapons and equipment to assist six countries who may face an attack from Russia.  Furthermore, if Russia does decide to attack them then NATO will need to protect those states because they have an agreement with NATO for protection if they are attacked by another country.  Vladimir Putin told others that he was not being aggressive but persistent in their interests.  He is just playing with words because persistent is still being aggressive. 

Russia has no right for invading Ukraine nor do they have any right to invade any other countries.  I think the real problem is Vladimir Putin and he needs to go.  They need to understand that they do not have the right to overtake countries that they let go.  Those are sovereign nations who have the right to protect themselves and request assistance to prevent and/or fight an invasion.  

Putin is acting like a stuck up child who wants what he wants and will risk everything to get it. 

NATO had Largest Military Exercise

http://www.globalresearch.ca/senior-nato-official-claims-well-be-at-war-by-summer/5452220

Hello everyone, I hope all is doing well. I wrote this last week, sorry that it is late.

            Today’s blog will be in regards to NATO preparing for a potential war with Russia.  Russia is causing a major issue in international relations, but when have they not?  The Ukraine issue was really the beginning of major issues with them. They sent troops and supplies over an international borderline.  Ukraine was having civil unrest and clashes with protestors.  Russia had no business becoming involved with the conflict.  Instead it seems like they were attempting to annex the Ukraine back into their procession.

            Anyways Russia also conducted exercises and they claim that they are prepared for NATO.  Furthermore, this issue also highlighted concern with China and the United States.  Apparently, the United States has an issue with China building artificial islands in the China Sea.  I will look into the issue further about the artificial islands to discover the real issue.  China is threatening to go to war with the United States if they do not see their demands to stop building the islands. 

            In the end, it could be that all the parties involved in this issue are just all talk and nothing is going to happen.  However, the expectation is that war may commence in the summer.  On the other hand, they may just be creating a spectacle for the media and the people.  Who really knows if they are just talking or will they do anything about it.

Taliban Cracks Me Up at the Moment

 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/22/afghanistan-war-taliban-p_n_1537224.html

A quote from the article:
"Nobody can trust their statements and lies," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in an e-mail to the media on Tuesday, a day after the two-day summit closed in Chicago. "They are claiming that everything is fine in Afghanistan, which is far from the reality."

Before I get to the quote that I have took from the article, I will summarize the article. The article is about the slow withdrawal of NATO forces in Afghanistan.  NATO will have the troops no longer operating in combat mode after 2014, but will be training the military and operating there.  Pakistan and Afghanistan is happy that NATO will continue to try to stabilize the country and prevent another Taliban and Al-Qaeda take over and not do a rush job of leaving Afghanistan to fend for itself.  Iran is the only one that is weary because they do not want the US and NATO forces to be leaving a big military in the middle east and I think that they are scared that the US might attempt to invade Iran or support Israel if  a war was to happen.  

So back to the lovely quote from the Taliban. The Taliban to me it seems like they are questioning why NATO has decided to leave.  Now would they not want NATO to leave so they can take over the country.  NATO is in the country because of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, they are the problem.  NATO was used to invade Afghanistan because one of the terrorists organizations decided to attack the US and according to the alliance they had to invade to stop the Taliban.  Taliban and Al-Qaeda were in control of the government after the Soviets left and then when the US and NATO forces came into the country they lost control of Afghanistan.  

The reason things are unstable is because an international terrorist organization was running Afghanistan and NATO forces came in and splintered the terrorist groups.  

I think it is funny that he thinks the country is unstable and things are not all right and there is no reason for NATO troops to leave, but you are the one that is attacking the Afghan military and government preventing NATO from leaving. IF things are so unstable then work on a peace deal with the Afghan government

These Hackers

I am really starting to think that people that are hacking into NATO and other agencies is really stupid. One, is that they do not realize that treason is a high offense in any country. Some still grant the death penalty and others will be more sympathetic and give them life. However, I think that they deserve death for what they are doing. IF they really claim that they have the information than they will likely get some offers from enemy nations and than attempt to sell it. I really do not like these hackers. It is not something to be proud of because you are putting millions and millions of lives at risk for what you are doing. You are hurting the nations stability/

I really hate hackers that are hacking from there own nations. You put the life of other people at risk for the sake of hacking into nation's security for fun and hoping to expose something. I hope that these hackers are found and put in jail and than sentenced to death for what they have done

Playing Fix it All in the World, but not in America

I am on my computer checking out the news. As I am reading about some people dying in Pakistan after a NATO attack on some terrorists, I realize that people within the US do not really care about the US. While we are trying to fix the world of their problems, we ignore the ones that are here. For instance, Obama has no regard for the people's opposition to the Health Care bill, he acts like he knows the solution. When in reality the Health Care Bill is going to hurt the US. The countries within the European Union are a perfect example of that. When people become too dependent on the government they do not take responsibility for their life or actions. That is what is going to happen to the US.

Another thing is that while we are trying to help the poor in other countries, we do not do a good job at helping those that are here. Delivering them some water or food when they are out on the streets. The people in the poor countries deserve help too, but so does our people. Granted not everyone is going to want the help. However, we are not really doing a good job at helping the poorer nations because we are stunting their growth as a country. You now there are farmers that are there and they are trying to sell their food to their people. But they end up not being able to sell because we are giving away food.

The final thing that really irkes me is the fact that our freedoms are going away. People hardly acknowledge the fact that the more we depend on government, the more we lose our freedoms. Look at what is happening in the middle east. The US just waltzes into Pakistan and takes Bin Laden out, while getting the permission to shoot any Pakistan officer or military that gets in the way. There is a violation of a nation's sovereignty. They could have worked a bit more on the negotiation and compromise. That violation of sovereignty directly depicts what is going on the US. There was a lot more freedom with a limited government. Granted there are going to be people that are not going to be fortunate, but their family needs to help them or someone other than the government

All I am saying is that before we can go out and care about other nations, we need to care about our own too. Robert Frost suggested that the first step to caring about the world is to first care and support or local home, then your state, then your nation, and then finally the rest of the world. How can we help others when we need help too. Granted we can and need to both at the same time. However, there are some priorities that need to be arranged. The first one is caring about how your nation feels about certain policies and what their needs are.
