“Answer to the second question: there will be no “nuke on New York,” so the question was invalid. Russia might be capable of physically launching a few before seeing all of its ground positions destroyed, and anything that made it into the air would be destroyed before reaching us.”

That is nonsense, if Russia launched all its missiles at us, we would only be able to shoot down a few of them. The rest would hit somewhere in the ‘general’ vicinity of their targets.

As for Crimea, I have no problem with letting the Russians have it. Its not like it makes a difference to us. Until the 1950’s Crimea was part of Russia as it had been by that point for about 170 years.

Furthermore it actually means something in Eurasia that most of Crimea’s population is ethically Russian.

Only lefties have claimed that our several levels of ABM defense systems are useless. Most enemy weapons would be hit on the ground by current rotations in the air. Cowering from enemy threats is not a good defense answer. It's a traitorous answer.

That's what many said against getting involved in WWI and WWII. The consequences and casualties from acting so late were heavy. Russia has been threatening to invade Ukraine, running feints on the eastern border and playing other little games.

Putin accused Poland of being behind the ousting of his agents in Ukraine. We're watching to see if the Russian government will follow up the threats with some action, or if it's only comedy relief like their occasional Bear bomber feints and retreats in our northwest (see funny noises made by propellers).

As for Monoprise, I have no problem with allowing Big Government to expunge his rights of freedom. It’s not like it makes a difference to our freedom.
