I'm willing to stand against aggression, Neville.

Your pointless attempt at an insult notwithstanding, why just Russian aggression? Do you want to go to war with Iran, too? They're quite aggressive. So is North Korea. China is very aggressive as well. How many wars are you willing to get us into and to what end? If we smash the combined militaries of all these countries, do we no longer have to worry about "aggression"?

Your thinking here, unfortunately, is not uncommon, especially on FR. So many tactical thinkers, nearly zero strategic thinkers. The calculus of international strategy is foreign to many people, and I fully admit I'm a neophyte at it myself, but, as distasteful an idea as it may be to you, it's very real. When Bachmann demands to Obama's face that he do something about Iran and he tells her "It's not that simple," the hell of it is that he's right. We've been at war for about 13 years now with nearly nothing to show for it. You wish to continue this trend? Keep charging in where we're not wanted. I believe the U.S. is a force for good, but we've got to work smarter.

We are standing against North Korean aggression. Thats why we have 28,000 men there. As for China, Washington has given specific assurances to Taiwan that the United States did not accept China’s claim to sovereignty over the island (Six Assurances).
