Why post links to a subscription site? They do it all the time for rivals and ASR. They should give the gist of it, if taking the time to create a thread. Otherwise it is a waste of time. |

This works for many many paywalls Kind of a different shade of posting premium content that is also copyrighted. Still illegal and against proboards policy unless you aren't advocating posting that content. |

Still illegal and against proboards policy unless you aren't advocating posting that content. lolll priceless. know someone personally that gets paid based off subscriptions? your personal crusade is getting pretty tired. no, not illegal, sorry. no, I'm not advocating doing anything, sorry. i am providing information that is easily found on Google. and just as a general point of order, most people will never pay for the myriad of subscription based sites necessary to read news - it is an inferior model of business on the Internet. it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to read (hear, watch, etc.) what one wants to read, and anyone trying to make a living based solely on whether enough people in the general public want to pay their employer a fee for an unknown quantity/quality of work is not doing themselves any favors. again, just so we're clear - not illegal. |

Yes, I do know several. A friend was an early "editor" of the fledgling ASR a ways back, actually it was more like a one person show and had to drive the revenue. Another is my son. I also work in a firm that handles I.P. Issues as a portion of the business. I.P. Theft is huge and takes money away from the producers and advertisers. You seem to be more of the free market type that's for all content to be free. True? Get used to be tired of my schtick, it won't go away. I may be a voting democrat for mostly social issues but I am more pro-business along the lines of a Jim Webb type, who has been an advocate for I.P. Protection. |

This works for many many paywalls Works well on a lot of sites but they will catch on before long. Also works for finding where people find some material when they don't cite their source. I will also say that in general I don't like pirating paid sites. In some cases where advertising rather than click thrus is the main source of revenue it might not be all that bad. Even that can be suspect when advertising rates are based of circulation. |

I apologize for the inconvenience. Try this link: ujreview.com/2015/05/11/josef-joffe-the-lessons-obama-could-learn-from-v-e-day/Wall Street Journal articles are sometimes accessed openly, sometimes not. I do not currently subscribe to the WSJ, so obviously I was able to access the piece with no trouble. Did not realize that others would not be able to do the same. The link was posted on RealClearPolitics; that's where I saw it. I usually test links when I first post one on AztecMesa. Must not have done it in this case. AzWm |

I was able to find this article on another site. Here is my summary of the author's basic points. Keep in mind that what I am posting here was derived from the author's words. You may agree or disagree.
Summary of article written by Josef Joffe.
* VE Day maked the beginning of "Pax Americana," a period of successful U.S. foreign policy that has benefited not just America, but also the world. Too bad BHO did not stage a celebration in D.C. to acknowledge that fact.
* The post-war world might well have turned out differently had fate not intervened. Several decades of successful American leadership might not have happened had Franklin Roosevelt lived. FDR had planned to withdraw U.S. forces within 2 years, leaving the task of confronting an expansionist Soviet Union to the exhausted nations of Western Europe. Roosevelt told Stalin at the Yalta Conference of his two-year withdrawal plan.
* FDR's death two months after Yalta put into the Oval Office a man, Harry Truman, who saw the Soviet Union for what it was. . . ."not a partner in peace, but a rival in power, and disarmament stopped."
(Personal note from AzWm regarding American disarmament after 1945. As WWII was in its last couple of years, the U.S. was building well over 50,000 warplanes a year. In 1946, we built fewer than 2,000. In addition, literally tens of thousands of ships, tanks, and planes were mothballed or scrapped, and the bulk of the U.S. army divisions were deactivated. On the other hand, the Soviet Union kept massive military forces in being and began a successful campaign to turn Eastern Europe into satellite states.)
* George Kennan wrote in Foreign Affairs (in 1947) these words regarding the policy of containment viz a viz the Soviet Union ; “confront the Russians with unalterable counterforce at every point where they show signs of encroaching upon the interest of a peaceful and stable world.”
* The Obama administration seems to ignore Kennan and the success and lessons of the post-war international structure, which included the following institutions: the U.N., NATO, IMF, WTO, along with the World Bank. The U.S. did indeed lead in the creation of this post-war order for selfish reasons. (The author remarks that "selflessness is not a mark of the mighty.") He goes on to say that the instituions mentioned above benefited not the only America, but other nations, as well. They promoted "such public goods as security, free trade, freedom of the seas, growth and stability."
* Obama is more interested in self-containment than in containment of international threats. The author points out that Russia and China are increasing military budgets 10-15%, we are reducing ours by 6%.
* Pres. Obama believes in "isolation with drones."
* Pres. Obama has misjudged Russia, China, and Iran. He failed to realize that Putin's unopposed grab of Crimea would lead to further penetration of Ukrainian territory. He has been foolish to believe that Iran could ever be a partner in the effort to stabilize the Middle East. In fact, Iran seeks to kick the U.S. out of the Middle East and replace us as that region's hegemonic power. As Kennan said of Russia when it still had pretentions of Communist fervor, you cannot expect magnanimity toward those nations to do anything but convince them of your weakness. The same is true of Iran, "a mystical, Messianic movement" that believes history is on its side.
* The U.S. pulled back from international involvement in 1919, a move that helped bring about WWII. Jimmy Carter tried his own Russian reset in 1977, but finally awakened to the truth when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in '79.
* BHO has learned virtually nothing over his 6.5 years in office. The result is that Putin, China, and Iran see him, and us, as paper tigers.

AzWm I could further summarize by just saying Obama has ignored history, the current facts and surrounded himself with like minded failures. He is a miserable failure. I will also give some of our lefties a hint as to what to include in their remarks. "Haters will hate". |

I will also give some of our lefties a hint as to what to include in their remarks. "Haters will hate". Thanks for the cogent, well-reasoned response. You have advanced the conversation significantly. AzWm |
