I would prepare for war, and then inform Russia that Russia and the US have some common interests (energy, safe seaways, economic growth, disease control), then point out that we have some common enemies, moderate through radical Islam, socialism, crony capitalism (Fascism). I would then suggest that we should be strong competitors rather than strong enemies.
Wow, a person that thinks EXACTLY like me. We have plenty of others here that simply want to see how far we can push Russia into a corner, because they’re CONVINCED the country is a paper tiger.
I don’t think they are and I’d rather not find out, either way.
