  • should Putin allow Russia to return to Western Culture?

    Russians are Europeans. Russians are Judeau - Christians. The Ruble is dropping. Sanctions over the Ukaine invasion are destabilizing Russia. Oil is sold in dollars. However, Russia is a land of space exploration, higher art, and a historically Western people. Putin has stalled Russian emergence from the post- Cold War. He needs to, peacefully, step down.

  • Should we, in time, make Cuba the 51st State?

    The greatest threat to America is a nation hateful, towards Washington, befriending Havanna. Venezuela, the Cold War Soviets, and Putin's Russia all stand out. Geographically, Havanna is closer to our mainland than Honolulu or Alaska. The beginning of full diplomatic relations with Cuba is more comparative to Lee & Grants meeting in the Appamatox Courthouse as compared to Perestroika. Once the Castro brothers are finished, the Cuban people (those in exile too) should be allowed to vote for their first governor. NATO, remember, moved quickly to absorb the Warsaw Pact into Western political freedom. Washington should act as quickly in absorbing Cuba into America!

  • Were the 9/11pilots trained in Russia?

    Cessna flight schools don't instruct students on how to operate the technology of a 757, and 767. We were "had" by Putin on a poker bet that nearly destroyed our economy by, gullibly, invading the wrong people. The sad part? Bush, Cheney, Obama, and Clinton knew all about it to the whole time.

  • America is in decline?

    The American people grocery shop in frozen food aisles with telephones small enough to rest in their front pockets. Their pets eat better than most human beings. They have by far the strongest economy on the Earth. They haven't had a credible challenger to their geopolitical strength in over twenty-five years. Their culture is emulated and copied throughout the world. The only people that truly believe America is in decline are Americans that can't afford a new Porsche.

  • Is time dilation a fallacy?

    Astronaut A picks up the May 1, 2014 New York Times on his way through the airport. He says goodbye to his twin and boards his meta - spaceship. He travels ten times the speed of light to station X for 37 days. Station X has a telescope that is able to see a newspaper being read on a Grand Central Park bench one light year away. Astronaut A arrives at Station X June 7, 2014. He looks through the Station X telescope and sees an old man reading a June 7, 2013 NYT.

  • Should we Send an aircraft carrier into the Meditarranean?

    Russia isn't taking us seriously. They are amassing further forces on the Ukranian border. The Sixth Fleet is gargantuan. Backing it with a nuke carrier next to NATO's fleet would deepen the reminder to Putin that The West is projecting power that Russia does not have one - twentieth of.

  • Is the 1964 U.S. Navy more powerful than any 2014 world navy?

    So tired of hearing how the President is portrayed as weakening American military strength when the U.S. fleet, 50 years ago, would dwarf any thing at sea today.

  • Is the Zumwalt DD(X) Warship a waste of revenue?

    Our newest Destroyer is 600 feet long, and has a 14,000 ton displacement. It is fitted with a quiet power system, and it is designed not to be seen or heard. At $3.45 Billion it is a technological marvel. The problem rests in the design : "you cannot see it or feel the power of the massive vessel. A massive surface warship is meant to be a spectacle of peace through strength. Large warships are to be seen, to project power of Realpolitik. It's a cool design, but doesn't look like a "big stick.". It also lacks the AEGIS defense network, and anti - BM abilities of a Ticonderoga. Four Type 45 Destroyers could be built at the cost a Zumwalt. A

  • Should America sell the aircraft carrier Washington?

    CVN -73 is approaching its midlife nuclear refueling in 2016. The process will cost $5 Billion. Washington is home port in Japan, because the Japanese don't have a carrier. Yet the Japanese spend $60 Billion each year on defense. Don't get me wrong, I think the Seventh Fleet should stay in place. But WW 2 is seventy years old.

  • Was Roswell an intentional crash?

    The theory would be to send a message without terrifying an unsuspecting creature. The timing took place after the reverbiation of the first atomic weapon echoed out on the Universe. The crash occurred in a desolute place of the bomb's inventor. The intentional crash was meant to enlighten the weapon's creators as to the bigger universe. Was the government smart enough to see that Roswell wasn't an accident? It seems like we got the message. Note to the messengers: "on behalf of man thank you."

  • Who came closest to shutting down the U.S. Government: the Soviets? Islamic Terrorists? Or the GOP?

    For over 200 years, the America has been the source of world freedom. It has been the dream of every tyrant, since the 18th Century, to shutdown Washington D.C. Thank God that the current Congress wasn't "running the show" during the American Civil War, the Great Depression; the Second World War, the Civil Rights Movement, the moon landings; the creation of Social Security, the Cold War, or the creation of the EPA, and Reagan - and Clinton Administrations. And a million other events.
