I try not to be too limiting in that, else maybe it'll be someone I didn't expect.<br /><br />I judge that it's a little late to be worried about which particular numbskulls are pulling which particular strings.

Say what?!<br /><br />This responder trivializes nonviolent action. People really should look into subjects before they write about them.<br /><br />Nonviolent action is a whole raft of actions designed to raise the cost of tyranny. Nonviolent action compliments violent action and should go together with it (despite a lot of suggestions to the contrary). For example virtually all that is going on against the recent tyranny in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York is nonviolent action.<br /><br />People of the militia mindset should familiarize themselves with nonviolent action (e.g Gene Sharp). People of the nonviolent action mindset should arm themselves. Both sides will become more effective in doing this.<br /><br />http://www.aforcemorepowerful.org/resources/nonviolent/methods.phpPaul Bonneauhttp://armednonviolent.blogspot.com/p/my-articles.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-48296125799787423722014-03-20T21:05:50.928-07:002014-03-20T21:05:50.928-07:00Its all about perception...The greatest thing we h...Its all about perception...The greatest thing we had going was the perception that if you messed with us or our friends you wouldn't like the consequences...Now that we have a leader that has done everything in his power to destroy that perception and has projected that we are weak by his actions we are suffering the consequences...linemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18180668439619161153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-43050728933677886242014-03-20T20:59:17.159-07:002014-03-20T20:59:17.159-07:00I took it to say, "Words don't stop bulle...I took it to say, "Words don't stop bullets."<br /><br />That, and that anyone who allows pacifism to trump self-defense, has some weird-ass philosophy that probably won't carry to the next generation.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-66911215858037896872014-03-20T15:49:24.270-07:002014-03-20T15:49:24.270-07:00Seriously Anon 1 & 2?

He's saying that once Putin (or anyone else, for that matter) knows for sure there will be no violent response, he can roll his troops wherever he wants and only have to plan for economic and political consequences. It also means that anyone looking at Russian or Chinese forces on the other side of their border or stretch of water has to consider how little they might be deterred from military action. Hitler rolled into Poland because he believed that France and England would not respond militarily.<br /><br />It's all about evaluating cost versus rewards. When you lower the perceived potential cost, the rewards look much more enticing. <br /><br />VJVernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040141980061222699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-22593827962900635892014-03-20T14:49:36.854-07:002014-03-20T14:49:36.854-07:00"Ghandi may be the goal, but as a species, we..."Ghandi may be the goal, but as a species, we simply are not there yet."<br /><br />Gandhi was "successful" not b/c of his non-violence approach, rather b/c of the English. That is, b/c of civilization, or rather Western Ideals, which include a commitment to constitutional or limited government, <br />freedom of the individual, religious freedom in a sense that precludes religious tyranny, respect for property rights, faith in free markets, and an openness to rationalism or to the explanation of natural phenomena through reason. <br /><br />Had Pol Pot, Stalin, Castro, etc. controlled India at that time, Gandhi would not have made a footnote in history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-12917051188886340462014-03-20T14:34:13.767-07:002014-03-20T14:34:13.767-07:00Why don't we just take Cuba and call it a draw...Why don't we just take Cuba and call it a draw?<br />Damhansomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03371416524001108622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-22160137401778769932014-03-20T14:32:30.001-07:002014-03-20T14:32:30.001-07:00No, I believe he is saying that if you act like a ...No, I believe he is saying that if you act like a pussy, bullies will walk all over you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-73006905228282318172014-03-20T14:13:47.929-07:002014-03-20T14:13:47.929-07:00Perhaps a re-reading of what Kerodin has stated he...Perhaps a re-reading of what Kerodin has stated here is in order.
