In fact, it IS the New York Observer online at observer.com.
NYO has been around for decades, and it is not a Russian propaganda site.
It is an elitist, leftist, Socialist, metrosexual, American New York snobbery propaganda site, where they think they are smarter than everybody else by half, of course there will be links to liberal horse manure.
For your convenience, I have linked the Observer contact page: www.observermedia.com/contact
Sort of, ...around the borders of the Russian Federation, and he would settle for having the major influence in those areas. Russia gets her back up when her influence in Slavic border states is compromised, IE, Yugoslavia (Serbia & Kosovo), Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine.
Conquering the US, even one state, would be a costly long distance war likely to fail. Holding such territory would be harder.
I don't think Russia has much interest in Western territory, it's too easy to just wait for American Socialists to make it worthless to Americans.
Even the cowardly Obama would be forced to vigorously defend our territory or risk immediate impeachment.
Like losing the Libyan embassy or the Ambassador, by arming the enemy?, naw, Obama is impeachment proof, he's the National Negro.
If anything, Obama would defend to provoke further strikes on American territory.
A much easier war for Putin, I believe, would be with Europe. The rewards are virtually the same & the land is contiguous to Russia. If the US is weak, then Europe is far weaker militarily. With Obama, there is no guarantee he would honor NATO commitments & join in another European war.
There ya go, a proxy war in Europe, and Europe would get a little more help than Georgia did, as this war would hit Obama's socialist and Crony capitalist buddies in the pocketbook, whereas Georgia didn't. But in the end, Obama would stab 'em all in the back for his end game Caliphate buddies. Russia would be forced to stand against the proxies on her border.
There is a third possible option for Putin if he really wants a war with the US: A war alliance with China.
Nope, no war with China, she's too smart and it's bad for business.
However that doesn't mean that China won't fully support Russia, she will and she will make hay while the sun shines in territorial gains in the Western Pacific where she wants all those minerals and oil.
She will have them without war and Russia will have full control of the disputed northern islands off Japan.
The US will have four fronts to reinforce: Ukraine/Eastern Europe, the Entire Middle East Iran/Syria, the Western Pacific from the Philippines north, and the Koreas, with nukes in all four places if you consider Pakistan.
Do we have enough players for a screw up yet?
