Suddenly after 100 Years of a happy marriage the media and left are demanding a divorce from the Russians

Some of you are old enough to remember the days when those on the political right were the only ones warning Americans of the dangers coming from what was then the USSR.  While at the same time those on the left poked fun at conservatives.  Hollywood and the media condemned what they saw as a faux 'Red Scare' in movies and the nightly news.  Below is a scene from Dr Strangelove which was a satirical ridicule of the military and the American Right.  Matter of fact it was those in the progressive movement that embraced many facets of the Russian Revolution.

But since Hillary's loss to Donald Truth, the Left has suddenly seen the dangers coming from the Kremlin.   Of course if President Trump should leave office in the near future, the new 'Red Scare' coming from the left would vanish like a fart in the wind.


In the above scene, General Ripper, has ordered a wing of B-52 bombers to level Moscow.  And delivers a few short memorable lines (well worth a 30 second watch - LMAO), on the dangers poised by commies.  You see, the General saw a Russian under every rock.  I should add, just as those in today's media and on the left side of the aisle in Congress do.

"Nuke Em"

"Nuke em", I often see this while visiting around the blogosphere and my usual first reaction is to recoil at the mere idea of setting loose those terrible WMD's. Being a child of the 1950's and having seen all the old movies such as "Fail Safe", "Doctor Strangelove" and many more coupled with my real nightmares as a child about those looming mushroom clouds the mere idea of a nuclear explosion scares the hell out of me.

Having gotten that out of the way, I've come to face a new reality and that reality is that one day we will be confronted with the cold hard truth of using the nuke or losing the battle. Tactical nukes are at the ready should they be needed. However, when such things are mentioned the American left recoils for they would not shoot so much as a spitball at the enemy and have shown consistently they will not even hurl insults their way. Although they have no problems with calling those of us on the right every name under the sun. It is becoming increasing obvious to me that the only enemy the American left sees are those fellow Americans on the right, and they feel if they can defeat those all other enemies in the world will miraculously vanish in a cloud of cleaning smoke.

War is not a game and the timid have no place on the battlefield or in the command post. To play at war is to lose and before losing I say those frightening words, "nuke um".
