Nice and our own village idiot lit the match which led to this point.
We’re in a permanent war now. We have been since before 9/11 - but took that day for everyone to realize the threat.
It’s a low intensity conflict that spans the globe - everywhere from Syria to Buenos Aires to the Phillipine jungles.
This war won’t end in our lifetimes.
I don’t know if we can defeat this enemy but we should sure as hell do everything to minimize their power to hurt us.
You mean like we had from 1945 until 1991?
This is a hallow threat. Wars cost money and the various conflicts Russia is in must be having an effect on their economy. When it reaches a tipping point, Putin will be replaced and peace will, of necessity, be declared.
What benefit would come from the Saudis and Turks calling their sons in ISIS and making them put on uniforms?
They’ve got to understand that we’re waiting out our rainbow warrior prez, so nothing is happening this year.
If we let him negotiate anything, we’d be screwed. Maybe Congress can stall him, if nothing else.
