Your problem is not that he’s “inciting conflict.” Your problem is that you perceive that he’s inciting conflict with your dear Mother Russia.
Because fighting a war with Russia would be just so keep, we would whip the Mongol asses back to Russia, they couldn’t do anything to us.
Not wanting to fight a war with Russia is somehow favoring Russia? Yeah, right: try self-control preservation, idiot. How long do you think that a conflict between American and Russian forces will remain conventional? A couple days, max, and then if you or I survive the initial exchange, our chief concern will be living for the next week or month. We will be eating bugs and wiping our rears with leaves, wondering if we got that fatal dose of radiation, or if some gang is going to visit us the next day and take our stuff after killing us and raping our women.
I repeat: idiot!
