All I am saying is that, given the current regime running THIS country, and the unorganized grab-asstic pieces of amphibious crap that are the Europeans, I don’t think we have much of a plan. In the absence of which things could go badly wrong. This is a regime with more nuclear warheads than we have.
I believe in a vigorous deterrent and I think that Mr. Putin needs to have some limits set for him. However that is incompatible with Mr. Obama’s headlong drive toward unilateral disarmament and general military withdrawal. IOW we aren’t walking the walk, at least as far as it is visible to the bad guys.
We have enough nuclear weapons to wipe him off the earth, and better dispersal of them (NATO subs), and we have two other NATO nuclear allies, I don’t see Putin saying surrender and end bugging me with sanctions for my invasions, or we all go up in nuclear flames.
So far Obama has allowed the natural NATO momentum to carry on as though he wasn’t president, for instance creating our reaction force and moving troops and tanks forward and continuing exercises in Ukraine and Poland, etc. There is no reason to think that he change that in his last 24 months.
I wonder if the institution of NATO and American forces and alliances in Europe, has a weight of it’s own, that Obama has decided is just best not messed with much.
