If your Russians invade us after conquering the buffer country of Ukraine, then we will be fighting on NATO ground, not neutral, nor Russian ground.
You can preach fear and timidity all you want to try to make it easier for Putin, but if we can get a conservative into office, your man will not have it as easy as he does with Obama.
It is reckless and lame for you to keep trying to convince us to surrender in advance, because for some odd reason, out of the blue, Putin wants to destroy Russia in a nuclear Armageddon because he lacks the military power to invade us successfully.
It is irrational, but you do have an agenda to push.
Nice try, ansel12, but childish character assassination doesn't work here. My side is America, my man (for the moment, unfortunately) is the traitor Obama, and the only agenda I detect is reckless adventurism along Russia's border by war hawks who believe they can poke a bear in his den without provoking it to fight for its life.
For all the talk about this alleged renewal of Russian expansionism, the only country that has been overthrowing governments lately (e.g. Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, Egypt and Syria) is the the United States. My guess is that eastern Turkey will be the next target in our sights, to facilitate a Russia-free pipeline from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. Protecting the Petrodollar has become the sole motivation of our foreign policy, and it causing us to behave recklessly.
