When Russia can destroy the entire United States and it's triad forces in a matter of moments, there is nothing the US can do, but capitulate to their foreign policy.

At the end of the day, it is what it is.
Some might argue that a little of mind our own business is in order. China has made great strides because that is their approach and to a less degree Russia.
The foreign policy of playing world cop is bankrupting our country.

Neither has a good foreign policy. Obama's is just the typical interventionist crap; Romney's is full-fledged neocon psychopathy, although he kept that under some cover yesterday night.

Great suggestion. I've always been a big fan of Pat Buchanan even though we disagree on many things politically.

LOL....exactly! I started following politics in 1980, and our foreign policy has more or less followed a straight line. Folks act as if there has been some major deviation since Obama got elected. Nothing could be further from the truth. If Romney wins, not a single American soul will be able to tell the difference in foreign policy, but they'll all come on C-D and pretend that they do.

Ron Paul very much so. Since Obama can't win Arizona, i'm thinking about writing Ron Paul in based almost solely on his foreign policy stance and his hatred of the Drug War. Don't know enough about Gary Johnson, but i've heard nothing but good things about the man.

No, but I read your first post and noticed you had no actual quotes.

Romney did not even have the intellectual curiosity to look at a map when he was memorizing his lines for the debate. He's been spouting off about Iran for two years and does not even know where it is in relationship to Libya. Superficial Romney at his best.

I did. 0bama has been the C-inC for four years and could not defeat a complete noob in a 90 minute debate. Which tells me 0bama hasn't really learned anything, and is still an ideologue. Bye, bye 0bama.
