Hitler did not have thousands of nuclear weapons, and the capability to deliver them to any locale in the USA. Not that I don’t want action, but a certain measure of discretion must be applied.
Putin doesn’t have an empire to rule if he goes nuclear. He’s not suicidal - like Iran.
Funny how the Russians don't share your fear when it comes to our nuclear weapons. How is that?
The Russians are in no great position to do anything if we kick them out of the G-8, WTO, etc., place Ukraine in NATO tomorrow and handover a few thousand Stingers and Javelin missiles to the Georgians. What are they going to do, stick their thumb in our eye at the UN?
This is called hardball, and they aren't going to launch nukes at us over Georgia.
Here's a little secret for you, the Russians think your line of reasoning constitutes weakness and weakness must be exploited with further prodding.
