This constant antagonizing of Putin is putting the life of every man, woman, and child in the nation in grave jeopardy.
We are playing games that Putin sees as an existential treat to Russia and his regime. He will not go quietly into the night if cornered.
Sane and responsible politicians do not risk nuclear war as a campaign stunt.
I Have to agree, antagonizing Putin is a very bad idea. If he gets the idea it might be catching on in this country, we might have a bigger problem than ISIS...
Is this some kind of “salt the earth behind me”, maneuver ?
