We should support our Georgian and Ukrainian allies who sent troops to Iraq. We should help them kill our Russian enemies like we did in Afghanistan and we should do to Russia what Ronald Reagan did to the EVIL EMPIRE. Smash it to pieces!

As crazy as I think your idea is, I do respect you for having the guts to voice it. Most people who are reflexively anti-Russian will not say they are willing to go to total war over distant ethnic basket cases like Ukraine and Georgia -- or recent NATO expansion teams like Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania or Croatia. Combined with even more "mutual defense" treaties around the world, the United States has written more checks than we could ever cover in a crisis -- and one day our enemies are going to figure this out at the same time.

I also disagree with you over whether today's Russia is our enemy like the old Soviet Union was. It is my opinion that Russia is not an offensive threat to either the United States or Western Europe right now. On the other hand, the European Union and its military wing, NATO, is an expansionist power that has come close to encircling Russia's western and southern borders and seeks to dominate of all Europe and Eurasia. The new threat to freedom is in Brussels, and we are being used as its military muscle. Our only reward will be our bankruptcy and eventual collapse.

The only thing that is going to get smashed with Obama at the helm are your fellow Americans.

The idea of smashing Putin with our new girly man military isn’t even slightly possible.
