For those of you out there who believe Mitt Romney will start WWIII if elected.....

24. Let's examine your points, one-by-one....

1.)Russia is not Stalin's USSR-Even Vlad Putin will not be willing to risk 160 million lives over an invasion of Iran, or Syria(it didn't even come close to happening in '08, and that was when Shrub, Jr. was in office). Why would he nuke the U.S., period? And if he even thought about such a thing, the Russian people would be up in arms within hours.

Putin was a member of the KGB from 1975-1991...no doubt he still feels the pain of the collapse of a political system he originally supported. Since assuming the reins of power in Russia he has slowly but steadily consolidated that power to the point where he has very few serious political opponents. The Russian people may "be up in arms" if Putin made military moves against the West, but they would do as an unarmed mob. Different rules in that country regarding ownership of personal weapons.

2.)China needs us more than we need them-They absolutely depend on our trading for their economy to survive. If we embargoed them tomorrow, their economy would be in recession within days.

Seriously?? If they decide to pull in all of the loans they've made to the US, we would be the ones in major trouble, not them.

3.)Romney is an idiot but he's no Hitler-Even Reagan wasn't foolhardy enough to declare war on the Russians without cause. And Romney has shitloads of cash invested in Chinese companies, as well. He is all talk, no action. (I'd be scared if a guy like David Duke took over, though)

You seem to have forgotten that the same people advising Romney are the same former Cold War warriors who advised Ronnie, Poppy and Junior. The NeoCons believe that Manifest Destiny is a global concept...world domination is their real aim in life. Yes, Romney's not very bright, but he'll do exactly what he's told by this group because he'll be told it's good for business.

4.)And most importantly, the Cold War ended in 1991.

Not according to the group I described above. Their enemies may have changed somewhat, but the goals of the NeoCons remain the same. These peole will be taking prominent roles in Romney's administration and pushing the same goals they pushed while working for Ronnie, Poppy, and Junior.

Bottom line? We should be VERY concerned about the possibility of Romney becoming President.
