Almost a third of Russians see possibility of war with US – poll

I do not love the Russian people. And no one in California sees them as similar to us.

I don't love or hate Russians but I agree, no American see's Russians as similar to them. Anyone who does needs a history lesson.

Sick of all this warmongering. The reality is that if the US just left Syria and North Korea alone, there'd be peace. But because our neocons are instigating shit everywhere, the threat levels are elevated everywhere.

Apparently a Yankee Connecticutan does.

Well the Russians aren't the only ones who are becoming disappointed with Trump. I am as well... I hope it's not a trend and he goes back to do what his supporters wanted him to do. The Americans who voted him into office.

Many of my Trump supporter friends who lean libertarian and voted for Trump primarily because of his anti-war stance, outsider stances and just because they hate Hillary, are pretty disappointed. I'm disappointed about his anti war stance, but a part of me thinks it's a strategy to ultimately shake off his detractors and eventually allow room to make peace with Russia.

Trump is a flexible person and unpredictable, so no one can say with certainty how this will play out.

Common sense would dictate leaving Syria alone and allowing Russia to help remove the localised threats but North Korea? I don't know. Let them develop the nuke and any nation anywhere near them is in danger.

Syria will never forgive the Wests recent meddling and as a Westerner, I'm angry at the violence and death perpetrated by the Western alliance upon them.

I agree about North Korea. But you have to remember they are the weakest state by far in their region. They live in a constant fear of being attacked, so it certainly doesn't help when you are constantly threatening them with war. It actually gives them more incentive to want to develop nuclear weapons.

but North Korea? I don't know. Let them develop the nuke and any nation anywhere near them is in danger.

Who has North Korea bombed lately? Who has North Korea invaded lately? Which foreign governments have the North Koreans toppled lately? Which terrorist groups are the North Koreans funding? Theses are actual serious questions not just rhetoric. Everything the average person knows about NK is nothing more than western propaganda. If they were a real threat China would of dealt with them long ago.

We on the West Cost are supposed to worry about the Middle East and North Korea when the only invasion California is experiencing currently is this

[vonneauman]

As a Californian this is the only INVASION we're worried about.

Blacks aren't invading California. If anything, they are moving out, because of how expensive the housing is.

The Mexican population was native here, though illegal immigration has been a problem. In general, I don't have an issue with Mexicans but I agree we absolutely have the right to patrol and enforce our borders. Though if we are to be serious, if illegal immigrants were gotten rid of, our produce costs would probably significantly jump. So it's a bit hypocritical to just bash illegal immigrants while enjoying low food prices. That's why I support the temporary worker program which would allow an orderly management of foreign contract labor to work the fields and allow oversight of labor rights, while still allowing us control of our borders.
