To be honest, we don’t have the military to fight - obama has gutted it to pre-WW1 levels. We need to rebuild our military as Reagan did and yes, even GWB had to rebuilt our military after the Clinton years. Whether people like it or not - there will be WW3 - and it will be a nuclear war. Just read the Bible and it’s all spelled out there. I seriously doubt that Trump wouldn’t use our military if necessary, but for now - let Russia handle this mess in Syria. The US has made some horrible mistakes in the Middle East.
Truthfully, I am less worried about nuclear than I am about cyber. That seems to gearing up and could bring us to our knees. I am seriously worried about that. Why lay a rich country to waste when you can immobilize it and take over with all assets in tact.
