There are plenty of `sabre-rattlers’ around today. Following the French and German experiences a saying was coined: ‘Russia is a lot easier to get into than out of.’
We have never fought the Russians/Soviets and the reason is obvious to anyone with a room temperature IQ or higher.
I have not seen anyone say we ought to fight the Russians. What most here say is that we should support the Georgians in all other ways necessary, but short of getting involved in the war ourselves. This is their territory that is being invaded. We can offer them support without getting directly involved.
What would we do if all the freakin illegal MExicans rose up and wanted to form a break-away country in the Southwest U.S. I would hope that the memories of one of my favorite Presidents would be invoked - that of President James K. Polk.
