If I Were Vladimir Putin. . .

Let’s say for the sake of argument that the president of Russia would love to take over the United States of America. I mean, why not. Most world leaders are not satisfied to reign within their own borders. Taking over other real estate expands their power over the globe.

So, if I were Vladimir Putin, knowing what I know about the United States presently, this is what I would do.

I would tell my secret confidants:

“Be patient my friends. The United States will soon be ours. All we need to do is to be patient. You see, the greatest threat to the United States of America is not from a foreign enemy on the outside, but its own enemy on the inside. Soon, the United States will implode.

“We can see clearly that as of now, no foreign country will overturn this Western Superpower. So what will? Her internal political divisions. The divisions are between the White House and Congress but also within the parties and between citizens and their government. One result is that the United States does not have enough resources it needs for national security — and what resources it does make available are often spent to satisfy political rather than strategic needs.

“So, here is what we need to do. Just sit back, and as a form of entertainment, observe how the liberal left is bringing the country away from the principles of its initial founding. Let the left do its job. They are slowly undermining her principles. You can tell that the people are divided. Many on the right are passive and do not want to get involved for fear of being labeled a racist or some other slanderous label. Those who are conservatives cannot keep up the momentum much longer. The main stream media is totally against them.

“Then, when the liberals are in power and have the nation under their control, that’s when we'll make our move. They do not have the strategic foresight to win wars. Liberals are primarily pacifists and are extremely gullible. It is then, when the liberals are in control and the conservatives are at their weakest, we will make our move and take over the land called the United States.

“So again, my fellow comrades, I ask you to be patient. Time is on our side. America may appear to be getting stronger, but unlike Russia, a president is up for election every four years. America allows its citizens to be rebellious against her leaders, calling for assassinations. There is no telling what a thought in the mind of a maniac will do.

“Every year America declines. She is at her tipping point. Just by the fact that she does not support her president now who is trying to make America great, shows that her decline is imminent. When the right moment arrives, we’ll be ready.”
