Regarding Russia and China and their non- support of human rights...

davidk14: .

A North Korea envoy drew laughter at a United Nations human rights meeting Friday in Geneva when he told diplomats to "mind your own business" during a vote to hold his country responsible for crimes against humanity.

The strange moment came as the UN Human Rights Council voted for actions against the rogue country for crimes investigators likened to Nazi-style atrocities, Reuters reported.

Allegations of abuse may reach as far as Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, the report said.

Those at the meeting reportedly admitted that despite efforts, charges against Kim are unlikely. China and Russia, which have seats on the U.N. Human Rights Council, both voted against the resolution.

Russia and China voted against a non-binding resolution. This is who the free world is dealing with. Lets not forget that Russia and China also support Assad and the nut balls in Iran.

dave3974: assad is certainly a better option than who the us backed

davidk14: .

It's not that the US backed, it's who Obama backed. He backed the Muslim Brotherhood for crying out loud.

davidk14: .

Oh and by the way....

NASA has suspended any interaction with the Russians regarding the International Space Station. Unfortunately, the morons in Washington must have missed that we have two US astronauts on the space station and their ride home was from the Russians. 'Perhaps' we should have brought our citizens home before flippen the Russians the finger???

Oh and by the way....

Thank you so very Much President Obama for not replacing the space shuttles. Good frickin job you have done.

dave3974: the war mongers in the us are truly idiots

davidk14: .

War mongers?? They aint war mongers, they are progressive liberals that want to hold hands and sing kumbaya in the rose garden.

.

chronology: davidk14. At the moment NASA is considering it's options for Shuttle replacement, but seems likely to go for the 'Dream Chaser' small Shuttle. Dream Chaser will carry 7 Astronauts and some cargo into ISS Orbit and return back like the Shuttle. The Dream Chaser will probably be a lot safer than the Shuttle. The other option NASA can consider is the 'Orion'. The Orion is a Slash down type Space Capsule that like the Dream Chaser is launched atop of a single stage rocket.

Something NASA will probably not even want to consider is that if economic woes continue in the U.S. NASA may even have to wave goodbye to any Space vehicles.

davidk14: .

That's all well and good for future thinking. However, there is nothing replacing the shuttle for years. Perhaps ten. Yes, there are some private corporation space companies out there yet nowhere ready to take care of the issue at hand.

The US told the Russians recently that the US was temporarily severing 'relations'. Which means, we have 2 US astronauts on the space station who had relied on the Russians for a lift home. Perhaps they will....and I expect the airfare to double at least. That is what I would do. Smucks! HOW COULD THEY CUT RELATIONS WITH THE RUSSIANS BEFORE RETRIEVING OUR ASTRONAUTS!!!!!

chronology: LOL david, you are right, the Russians may double or even triple the price they charge the U.S. to bring home the NASA people. All the more reason to get 'Dream Chaser' good to go asap.

davidk14: .

" In late January 2014, it was announced that the Dream Chaser orbital test vehicle was under contract to be launched on an initial orbital test flight, using an Atlas V rocket, from Kennedy Space Center in November 2016. This is a privately arranged commercial agreement, and is funded directly by Sierra Nevada and is not a part of any existing NASA contract. An initial orbital test flight of the Dream Chaser orbital test vehicle is planned for 1 November 2016, launching on an Atlas V rocket from Kennedy Space Center."

BBC News. (24 January 2014)



Initial orbital test flight...2016. This might as well be a decade away regarding the two US astronauts abandoned on the international space station.

.

chronology: Dave I know you love automobiles. A Guy was showing me his Caddallac from the US. I was amazed at his Gas mileage. 60 mpg. No kidding he gets 60 mpg from a Caddy.

dave3974: this is a silly story from the us red neck press, the us is continuing cooperation in this area and Russia has stated that they would never abandon these astronauts, fox news is wrong on this.
Imagine though the mess the us would be in if bush mk3 or President Palin was in power, A massive debt funding a massive war machine , wars continuing in IRAQ , AFGANISTAN , IRAN , SYRIA -and god knows where else.
war about to break out with Russia due to constant US interference and bellicose antics of the us.
no affordable health care for 7 million americans
a cold war about to go hot with china -, mayhem in the middle east --------all funded by your tax dollar and brought to you daily by fox news.

davidk14: .

pleez...you are being paranoid.

.

dave3974: you should thank god you have Obama as corporate spokesman

davidk14: .

Dave,

Please refer to FOX News as the red headed bastard child. I would still rather use FOX News as a source other than MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS or another mainstream news agency. Wanna know why? Because everyday, a FOX commentator or news show exposes another screwed up program or illegal move by Obama and his WH staff. None of the other networks do and you wanna know why? Because he is black. They are afraid to go up against him. Look at Holder yesterday in front of Congress whining like a little school girl about how he and Obama are being mistreated because they are black. What a bunch of . Damn...2016 is not going to get here fast enough. And then...pray... that Hillary does not win.

.

.

davidk14: PS.

I rarely use FOX NEWS....I do not own a TV for about 5 years now. I source from multiple news agencies in and out of the United States...yes...even Canada.

.

chronology: davidk14 I was confident the Dems would win in 12 but 16 is going to be a super duper rock em sock em election, because both Parties have an equal chance at winning. It may well be Hillary the Dems field, the pluses may outweigh the minuses if they can go that way. Dr Rice is a real and present danger to the Dems if the GOP can slap down the 911 crazies. If it is Dr Rice and Hilary it will be a sparks flying election, but both the Dems and GOP may have an alternative line up. Who do you think will run for each party?

davidk14: .

Hillary and RIce.

The chances of Hillary being nominated is extremely high.

The only person that can win against Hillary is a woman. And to top off the icing.....Rice is also full African American.

.

chronology: 'Condi' is quite a girl 'Bright as a Button and Sharp as a Tack'. One name being suggested for the Dems is Rahm Emanuel. Personally I would see Condi mopping the floor with him as the saying goes, but not in the votes, in the debates, so Hillary seems their choice. Don't forget Rahm is Jewish so the first Jewish Candidate would add spice to the Dems choice.

lori100: It doesn't matter...they are all evil illum. members.....and 911 was a govt crime....

davidk14: .

Oh...I disagree.

Rahm Emanuel is connected at the hip with Obama and would not make a good candidate at all. He is a real hard core anti-constitution and ultra progressive. What the country will not do again for the forseeable future, is to put another left wing loon in the white house. Hillary is a loon however, Emanuel is loony toons.

On the other side, we do not need a woman in the white house at this time. The enemy hates women and any debate, communications, deliberations, diplomacy with this enemy would be fruitless. Hillary was horrible as the leader of the state department. Let a man be president, lead as a warrior would lead and lets put the world in order.

Hoo rah.

lori100: Their goal is never order...but chaos....wake up....

davidk14: .

Lori...there is natural chaos and then there is controlled chaos and uncontrolled chaos. I love natural chaos and controlled chaos yet uncontrolled chaos can be very dangerous.

.

chronology: Lori my dear girl, Condi Rice Rahm Emanuel you and David may disagree, but you all love your country enough to keep it out of chaos. Like I said before Lori, you are a girl with a 'Star Spangled Heart' really.

lori100: Illum goal is war , violence, controlling other countires , always has been...

The13th: I think Chnia and Russia probably just backed North Korea out of historical sentiment. You know when their great grand fathers used to parachute together behind enemy lines at manchuria,... you have to standby your old frens wayward child no matter how bad he has became ....
