Even more is the risk OT hitting the Russians and pissing them off.
I’m in the crowd that thinks Russia simply doesn’t have the conventional combat power to take us on in that theater. Not even close. BUT, even though a lot of people here blow it off, they have the power with nuclear weapons to utterly annihilate our country. They will never do this voluntarily because it is certain suicide for them too. But, when we place them in an existential threat someday, it could actually happen. History is full of examples of what happens after a string of humiliations, insults and economic warfare is visited by the strong upon the week. Eventually even an earthworm will turn and fight.
And believe it or not, I think many of our neocons and very top level generals would love a conventional fight with Russia. They envision it as short and sharp and us teaching them a big lesson.
We are been lead by some true maniacs at this moment in time.
And all of this so that we can defend Sunni jihadis.
Obama parked us a few miles from a Russian base in existence since the late 70s. Lets continue to spend american taxpayer dollars and continue obamas war. And his spending and his H1Bs and still. No wall. What a disgrace. Soldiers shouldnt be buliding walls they should be grinding our enemies into dust. europe should fight the russians themselves for their pipeline.. but yet.. we are stuck on stupid.. with soldiers wielding bricks instead oof billets.
