Thoughts on US banning Russian arms?

[Hobbes]

So you've bought into the lies the Liar in Chief and his Liberal World Order minions spout? The fact is that Russia is not the former Soviet Union. Putin is a Orthodox Christian and as such is intent on restoring his nation to it's former Christian heritage before the Bolsheviks destroyed it. Putin and Russia are natural allies of America, especially those Americans who proclaim to be Christian. American Christians hating Russian Christians based on Obama's lies. Sad...

Welll now you've done it dutch.
You've completely lost your mind.

Putin's state sponsored media is telling the Russian people that Ukraine filled an airliner with nearly 300 DEAD bodies and then shot it down over enemy held territory to make Russia look bad.
Is that what a christian leader does?

And who is arming the masked thugs known as the insurgents?

You probably dont even admit who killed this guy by polonium poisoning

Putin isn't anything like any Christian I've ever known.

Exactly.

It would be hypocritical in the extreme to criticize Obama for a thousand small arms and then turn around and give Putin a pass on sending not only small arms but field artillery, armor, land mines, and antiaircraft missiles.

Doesn't the bible frown upon judging others?

No, it doesn't frown upon using good judgement. To do otherwise would be foolish. God gave everyone a brain he expects you to use it.

Most Americans form their opinions of other nations, ethnic groups, religions, etc. based on the information provided by the USGov via the state controlled media. This fact is obvious by the many views often expressed on this forum. Close scrutiny shows that only a handful of forum members hold views completely opposite of the main body of members. Either we're wrong or the easily lead masses are wrong. Seeing the pure ignorance and stupidity of the American public at large on a daily basis prompts me to view the masses as being wrong. There is no fix for stupid except the facts. And since the USG controls the media, the "facts" are controlled to render a desired outcome... ignorant Americans that are easily manipulated.

Forgetting of course, a third option. What if both groups are wrong...the "enlightened ones" and the ignorant masses?

Agreed. Yet who is supplying the information about the man which we as reasoning beings use to form our opinions? Much of what we are told by our government is given to us by the media. Who owns the media? Does the media have an agenda? Who controls the media?

This government and the many administrations prior repeatedly lie to the people it supposedly represents. The media doesn't check it at all and is in bed with it, making the media a defacto state media and a whore of an institution. Same goes for the education system. And just about every other facet of life in America. All controlled by the central government. Which makes the US a socialist nation.

I defend the philosophical view of Christianity of the Non-Agression Principle and the Golden Rule even though I'm not a Christian. I prefer to defend Christians who abide by those same views and discount those Christians who rattle sabers which on this forum are many. In my view those Christians are Christians in name only. They don't live the life preached by Jesus. Hypocrits with a massive beam in their eye.

And even when someone tells the masses the truth they don't wanna believe it anyway. They'd rather ride on unicorns and sprinkle fairy dust on each others hair. The truth can be a brutal taskmaster.

Talk about the best way to sum out how Obama won twice.
