Are you sober?
Do you actually think the Russians would have any chance whatsoever of winning a full scale military conflict with the US and/or NATO in the Ukraine or Syria if things went all out? Your insane if you do- Russia has a much better PR department than military. Also, Russia is in VERY bad financial shape. But Putin would roll the dice on war rather than go quietly into the night. He is posturing about nukes obviously but there are too many nit wits on both sides to be playing such games.
We are week?
Dear God, yes we are weak! The US has NEVER been more week spiritually and politically than it is now. Do you think that Putin would have gone into to the Crimea if he thought for a second we would try and stop him? No. He can see that this county is paralyzed and unable to act. So can Iran and China. Strong nations don't airlift billions of dollars in cash to pay ransoms to enemies. Russia is not strong militarily but it is willing to take risks and suffer losses. We will do neither. And we should NOT take risks. We lost the Iraq war, we are loosing in Afghanistan, and we will unquestionably loose any future adventures in the middle east because we are led by fools and won't fight to win. Maybe things will change if Trump is elected but with Hillary I oppose ANY US action in the middle east PERIOD. The chance of our "leaders" bodging things up is 100%
Are you sober?
Always nice to talk to adults that keep things on the level of gratuitous personal insults rather than substantive discussion. Thanks for keeping it classy...
