It was President Reagan who proposed and implemented the “trust but verify” doctrine as a guidepost for U.S. dealings with the then Soviet Union. For all the screams from the left accusing Reagan of being a warmonger, no war broke out. Instead, not many years later the Berlin Wall came down as the Soviet Union was no more. Hopes for a “peace dividend” were high as the world hoped that the specter of nuclear war had been reduced dramatically.
And it has largely worked out. Tensions between Russia and the U.S. have been reduced, and no one has fired a nuclear weapon at anyone else, in spite of some nations joining the “nuclear club.” Relations with Russia warmed, at least for a time, and there was even speculation as to whether NATO was even necessary anymore.
Yet old hostilities and suspicions die hard. And the U.S., as well as Russia, remain heavily armed with thousands of nuclear weapons. The Neocon influence in Washington argues strongly for a powerful commitment to NATO by the U.S., and for American hegemony throughout the world. It’s a dangerous idea, and one at which Russia recoils. In fact, its foreign minister is calling for a move away from a world order centered on one nation, and for a multi-polar world order.
There are those in Washington for whom such an idea is anathema. More on where this might go on page two.
That’s what I’m talking about

Totally agree with Putin.
It should be ended. All countries should govern themselves, depending upon God to guide them. The only one able to govern the world is Jesus and he will do it honorably. Men will not do this. Not a multi polar world either. God wants no dictators. It is against his teachings. Each country should have the responsibility of its citizens and no country enlarges itself by force. God wants us to get along with each other and even help when needed. No New World Order – No Multi World Order. God gave us common sense- we need to use it and not be arrogant, prideful or self-important. God teaches that we should worship and serve him only, love our neighbors, pray for our enemies, hunger and thirst after righteousness, be pure in heart, peacemakers and so much more which is found in the Holy Bible. He is the only one that should guide us and we worship and serve him daily. Praying truth – not dishonesty is accepted. Jesus is the only way to God and the plan of salvation is for all who will believe.
