Would America Go to War with Russia?
The National Interest ^ | March 24, 2014 | James S. Robbins

Posted on 03/24/2014 11:31:47 AM PDT by Abakumov

Vice President Biden was in Warsaw last week to reassure our eastern NATO allies that they have the support of a “steadfast ally.” But if Russia moved against Poland or the Baltic States, would the United States really go to war? Or would we do nothing and effectively destroy the NATO alliance?

Better happen quickly lest we have nothing to contribute but spitballs.

Do nothing and destroy NATO. Obama loves it when a plan comes together.

Well, boys, I reckon this is it. Nuclear combat toe-to-toe with the Rooskies.

I think at the very least we should review what happened in WWII and during the Napoleonic era first.

There would only be war between the U.S. and Russia IF it somehow benefitted obama and the democrat party.

Obama is only about war with tax paying citizens and traditional America.

Obama may go with NATO but only with high altitude bombing, backed up with drones.

A direct war as opposed to the proxy wars of the last 50 years would be stupid. Unless our president wants to kill us in something like a suicide by cop scenario we’d best not get involved in this one. (The entire situation is Obama’s fault for seeming weak in the first place. Nothing so empowers a bully like a mom jeans, bike helmet wearing beta male in charge of the nuclear football.)

NATO is a polite fiction, dead lo these 20+ years.

If Putin wants the end of NATO to be explicit (he may), then he will invade Estonia and expose the lies that have grown up since 1991-1994.

OTOH, he may want to wait until a time when the public funeral of NATO would bring him more advantage.

Either way, watch Merkel. The Germans have a lot to lose here, but they have potentially quite a lot to gain, as well.

"Mr. Soetoro wouldn’t do a day-um thang."

I would hate to see America at war with this CIC (no balls) and a military staffed with a high percentage of women (no offense intended) and homosexuals. All 0-Zero is good for is to "lean forward" (bend over).
