Not taking out LA would really be noticed by many around here.
I am growing tired of the Russia has lived through tough times; they know hardship; they are used to deaths in war; they have long memories.
Russia is a failing country. They are demographically dying much faster than the rest of the world. They are corrupt beyond the west’s ability to comprehend. They are sick in terms of alcoholism, drug addiction, and disease.
In the past 100 years they have added little to culture of the world. They have only been modestly helpful in science. And they have been useless in creating a first world economny==even though they have been blessed with massive natural resources.
I think the world is becoming less and less “frightened” by the “bear.”
I wonder about Putin’s missile arsenal. Based on his tanks and army, I am sure that 80% of his nuclear arsenal has been maintained. The remaining 20% is probably not able to be mounted on effective missiles. And what is launched will probably miss their targets.
The Russian bear is old, toothless, and has the mange.
Poking him doesn’t seem to be doing much these days.
Oh...but wait until “Victory Day.” This is a case of not what they accomplished in 1945, but what have they done for the world lately?
Nice summary. Russia isn’t going to do squat as long as it isn’t U.S. troops actually meaning the weapons. Supplies, intelligence, etc. are something they’ll tolerate because they have no real choice.

What has the US done for the world lately? Bombed Yugoslavia ( Bosnia) into ruins, started Gulf War 1, Gulf war 2, ( 1991- 2021), bombed Libya, Syria, Somalia, etc…
Failing country? I don’t even consider Russia that highly regarded. They are like West Virginia with nukes
Keep believing that.
Meanwhile the ruble is soaring while our dollar is being destroyed.
