Radio Host Michael Medved says Russia does not have international interests.
Radio Host Michael Medved thinks that our national security would be in peril if we didn't have bases around the world. However, he cannot explain why other countries national security is not in peril, even though they do not have bases around the world. In order to defend this position he says Russia does not have international interests... to the level of United States. I think the Russians would beg to differ. Obviously, all countries have international interests. It is arrogant and slanderous to claim that other countries don't have international interests. It is a huge double standard that irks the rest of the world.
Furthermore, Medved's propensity to insult people that disagree with him is one of the principal problems with political debate today. He says Ron Paul is off his rocker and then when you investigate his reasoning to support this absurd claim it turns out it is simply a disagreement on defense policy; a disagreement which he can't even support.

TIL our bases in South Korea
keep me safe from terrorists! And I also learned that without American bases on every street corner around the world, there would be total chaos. Without our bases, there would be revolutions in every other middle eastern country, rising oil prices, 9000 Syrians getting massacred, genocide in Africa, and an increasing cornered and aggressive china and Russia. Oh wait...

'We' don't need bases. The Banksters do.
The US has bases all over the world so that the banksters that control our country can force other countries to use the proprietarily issued fiat currency produced by the private entities controlling the Federal Reserve Bank as if that currency product were not fiat.
Every oil purchase must be made in petrodollars which means all nations hold vast volumes of dollars in reserve. This reserve stabilizes all of the currency when it is the currency is manipulated and as such the power of the dollar does not fluctuate as if would if it were not held in reserve to the extent in which it is.
The bases are there so as to destroy the economies of any nations which threaten the currency dynamic as well as to protect the sovereignty of the nations that play along regardless of their specific form of governance or record on human rights.
We protect the generational sovereignty of some of the most human rights violating some'bitch monarchies that exist against everything America stands for because it is they won't sell their oil for anything other than dollars, which forces other countries to hold on to dollars.
The media the banksters themselves own makes up outlandish lies about countries which sell oil for anything other than petrodollars in order to get the American people's sense of 'Exceptionalism' to look the other way when those lies are acted upon and the economies of those nations destroyed and the regimes are replaced with bankster puppets.
China does not need bases all over the world because China does not have a private central bank that is in control of China’s leadership forcing a Chinese for-profit version of currency down the throats of the rest of the world.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

Medved and Israel
Medved is your typical run of the mill Zionist/Israel firster that I happen to know broadcasts from a Los Angeles radio station 870 KRLA. I listen to this station and every radio host from sun up to sun down ridicules and disrespects Ron Paul. It just so happens, this same radio station airs advertisements promoting Israel vacation destinations and everything Jewish and kosher. How do you handle Medved? You don't handle Medved.What Medved says has no credibility with regards to Ron Paul, foreign policy, and politics in general.
Anyone who actually believes
Anyone who actually believes America should be the policeman of the world needs to understand that, just because America is the world's number 1 superpower (although I don't predict that for much longer), it doesn't mean it's morally right!
"the free flow of oil can
"the free flow of oil can only be sustained with the leadership of the United States"
It has worked so well here in the states, right? America's oil is freely flowing all over the world, right? But those damn towel-heads are trying to control the 'Straits of Hormuz', right?
...and terrorists hate us because we are free, right?

Medved can't even defend or
Medved can't even defend or explain his own argument for bases all over the world. That should tell you that he has other reasons for bashing on Ron Paul.. what those may be is anyones guess.. Maybe he was paid off, maybe he's a Zionist.. who knows..
THis guy...
This guy is disgusting. He hates Ron Paul and is as bad as Mark Levin.

Keep hammering away at the hypocrisy.
A double-standard of hypocrisy is more like it. Lies and deception are no match for logic and the truth.
Russia lost its interests when it collapsed; just like we will
Russia lost its interests when it collapsed; just like we will. Its amazing how these same people will sit there and warn us about big government and the danger of overspending but there is always plenty of money to blitzkrieg another country.
Russia's twenty year long recovery from total bankruptcy, abject poverty, generational genocide, mafia thuggery, and civil strife is finally approaching a competitive stage.
Meanwhile, we have done nothing to keep history from repeating itself and going bankrupt in the exact same way. Of course, by the time the west collapses, Russia will be sufficiently recovered to take advantage of it, which will provide nitwits like Medved (russian for BEAR) to clamour for World War III even as our country splinters.

excited to see the next Jan interview. These are phenomenal.

...o....k...
Obviously doesn't like difficult questions because it reveals truth about how wrong he is and his unamerican non peaceful beliefs.
He's based his beliefs not on facts but opinions.

Medved's world view developed entirely from reviewing
WW2 John Wayne movies.
And his favorite song, no
And his favorite song, no doubt, is "The Ballad of the Green Berets."
Ummm...
Since when does Medved have any credibility?
