But, the rest of the world keeps on spinning. And, we need to wake up to reality.
Things are getting really bad in Russia now. People who bet against the US lost a bundle. Betting against the US has always been a bad bet. But things in Russia are now becoming critical. The people are really beginning to suffer. Putin could become desperate enough to do something really crazy - much worse than downing an airliner.
Maybe we can prevent that.
Yea, we have nothing going on at the moment. Lets provoke Russia for no good reason.
Yes, there IS a way to predict what will happen: Look back on the last 20 years or so. That will tell you EXACTLY what would happen, and the prediction is this: The GOP is dead. Any voter willing to pull the lever for an "R" at this point should immediately check their patriotism. Pulling the "R" lever at this point is just pushing the GOP further to the left. Perhaps "R" voters would be happier at DU. Last I checked, this was actually a Conservative forum, and the truth is, Conservatives are 100% fed up, and are done with the "wait and see" game. That's exactly how the Jews ended up in camps and gas chambers. No thanks.
