Panama Canal opens for Russian warship
Manchester News.Net Wednesday 3rd December, 2008
Russia has confirned it will send a warship through the Panama Canal for the first time since World War II.
The symbolic journey will see the Russian ship dock at a former US naval base.
In a humiliating gesture to the US, the Russian Navy announced it would visit the Rodman naval base; a name that Panama changed after it confiscated the base from the United States in 1999.
The destroyer Admiral Chabanenko will enter the Panama Canal on Friday morning and arrive late in the day at what Panama now calls the Balboa Naval Base.
US officials have not expressed any concern over the visit, seeing it as payback for US involvement in Georgia, Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
The canal was a symbol of America's growing global reach when it opened in 1914, and it was a major US military outpost for many years.
The 10-mile-wide, 51-mile-long strip along the canal was once considered US territory.

Panama Canal opens for Russian warship
We the American lost the global trust. Once we are superpower and now we will be less superpower. American must be very careful what we do: Such war and peace. Now American has no peace and only war. I hate to say. But we must fit ourselves and we will win the hole wide world.

War is the catalyst for improvement in the US
American democracy is not a perfect system waiting to be improved every generation.
They corrected their inhumane slave owning attitude after the brutal civil war. Then the revolt by the minority after korean and vietnam war brought down the segregation and discrimation especially in the South. The wide spread feeling during the Korean and Vietnam war amongst the African American were why they should uphold someone else’s freedom and equality while they don’t enjoy the same at home. Being treated by enemy forces equally as opponents and as prisoners with their white brethren under morally superior forces propably brought down the myth of white supremacy. These were the reasons for Miss Park to sit against all odd in Missisipi, Mr. King walk to Washington DC, Obama run for White house, so today American can resume flying with a different color today.
The currrent slaughter in middle east will have the same effect one day, they American will realize it is a mistake and racist attitude to force their thinking on others in foreign land.

America Will Crush All Enemies
I will tell you. America will/can crush all enemies like a grape under boot. They completely destroyed Sadam’s Army in three months. Then captured the president Hussein hiding in a hole in the ground covered in his own poop. Then brought him back to America and hung him by the neck until dead. Also killed both of his sons. America did this with ease by not even committing all troops. America could easily do this to any other nation because they are superpower of the world. America is fighting wars on two fronts and still keeping homeland safe. If America want to, they come to your country and kick butt. Besides, most of Iraqi army used Russian equipment. Also, America is winning in Afghanistan too. Russia got their butts kicked out of there and lost many more soldiers than America. America Will Crush All Enemies.

I know it’s a difficult concept but the will to fight the above wars was politically squashed.
The loss was a political one not a military defeat.
In fact both wars were fought with the American military hamstrung and limited in what they were allowed to engage.
In pure numbers of “enemies” killed the scale was unimaginable.
The problem with America is not the US military rather the spineless politicians who always put up roadblocks no other country/group has when they fight.
If America really went to war and untied the hands of the military there would be no living thing left to fight in what ever venue we decided to fight.

I rather to see our country USA be a cultural nation which Americans have at least a minimum 2-year college degree to support a productive, creative strong country than whole bunch of Mexican fries or Africa’s fries licking welfare like a dirt-cheap-mud on a repairing American highway. US Navy or Russian Navy to enter Panama Canal is not that important, as long as NOT a Negro in White House wielding a white handkerchief to Venezuela and his allied Russian Navy to put down our magnificent American Flag.

Be careful what you wish for
Superpower, we see you in Russia, be careful in your wishes. Come here armed - and if you survive, we’ll find you a better job as POW somewhere in Siberia.

America is not to win wars

Yes, America is not there to win wars, but its primary purpose is to prolong its wars, so it will consume, and consume, all war related materials, favoring the war related industries, and the wealthy stock-holders of these industries, in other words wars are a big business, where the wealthy get rich, and the poor lose their lives.
The wealthy that control American politics, generally decide who will lead the nation to protect their financial interests first.
At times leaders are there to just take orders from those who placed them in their office, through their political contributions to support their campaign.
It is very strange to see the last political move, where hillary was in opposition to Obama, and then bowed out to support him, and now she has been compensated with avery important post. Really this is very un-ethical and a let down for those who supported her, in my opinion it is undignified to accept such post, it makes people think that she sold out to those who supported her in her campaign for president.
So in synthesis: America is not there to win, because if it wanted to win its wars, it could win very easily against any adversary, because it has all that is needed to win, but then that would spoil everything, the wars would not last long. and there would be no profits for those who are in the war business.
