You won’t see me attacking FReepers that post as much as you do, but I really have NO CLUE as to what the President is thinking. It does sound like he’s almost dying to get into a war with Russia over Ukraine with a gutted military...but then again who knows.
I don't think even THIS POTUS wants a military confrontation with Russia.
The problem is that this POTUS and his cronies think they can bully and bluff Russia before they have even put up ante.
Without a couple of Armored Divisions in BOTH Germany and Poland, and a couple of combat brigades in both Austria and the Czech Republic...not to mention an Air Wing or two...Russia knows they don't even have to factor the US Military into their planning.
It's VERY dangerous for the Sheriff to stand in the middle of the square bragging on what he's gonna do to those outlaws when he catches up to them. Unarmed.
And nothing but a cold wind at his back.
