Mike Jackson was a British general serving under US general Wesley Clark during the Kosovo War. Clark (insanely) ordered Jackson to take action against a unit of Russian soldiers at the Pristina Airport. Jackson refused, saying "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you".
I bring this up because Hillary WILL try to start something with Russia, should she become president. It's just in her nature to do so.
And for those who might want the details, the Pristina Airport story is here:

Fascinating! Here is a similar story —

yes - it was posted yesterday related to a hacking story. I think it was a general in charge of the NSA or the NSA liaison or something like that.
Clark was a terrible mixture of vanity and recklessness combined with a fanatical commitment to "nation-building" and globalist ideology. I never supported the Bush team's foreign policy, but Clark would have been a hundred times worse.
duh ....sorry disregard my post....gotta wake up it’s 1/2 way through the day already...
Wesley Clarke could have a prevented the mass murder at Waco had he obeyed the law and denied the BATF the use of his tanks.
But he did not do that.
He should swing from a rope for his crimes.
She won’t start something with Russia. She’ll just accept their payments to her.
Don’t ask, don’t tell. Oh, wait. Wrong Michael Jackson.
