Frankly, our only big deterrent to Russia is the arsenal of nuclear options we have (or had). We don’t have the manpower or sustained supply inventory to carry any protracted conventional opposition to them. And the only ‘threat’ Hillary as President would have is a nuclear response.....that very same response she and every other effing Democrat who have been working tirelessly to diminish that supply to nothing.

I’ll tell you what would happen if an armed confrontation happened. We’d get a bloody nose and no doubt their side too. But they’d withstand it and she’d find out our nuclear deterrent is of no use to her. What she’d do in that case is capitulate as long as they make her the new Commisar of Amerika.

Many Ukrainians believe you need look no further than the face of Viktor Yushchenko to understand Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

Once smooth and ruggedly handsome, it still bears the scars from an assassination attempt when someone slipped dioxin into Yushchenko's food. ..."
