don’t think Europe and the U.S. would be too thrilled if Russia turns of the tap . . . that could be a “red line”

Plus the fact that Colombia is a major US Ally. I expect something to happen in South America.

Its as if their foreign policy was being written by a manic-depressive control freak.

Can you spell "KGB"? I thought you could!

I got better idea maybe he could challenge Vlady on one to one basketball at Midnight Basketball

That'll work well. First time Obambi tries to move down the court Putin plants a judo chop that takes out most of Obambi’s teeth. Obambi looks around for the ref's call and suddenly realizes there is no ref....

We’ve been expecting nukes in Cuba for DAYS now...

ICBM MEANS:

"It doesn't matter what continent they are on."

If they do such a stupid thing, Bush needs to simply call a press conference and laugh at how silly the Russians are for making a 50's technology bluster.

Some how, methinks they are confused on whose “government news agencies” are being listen to by whom.....

Yeah, I got some of that on another thread. It's like bizarro world.

“If this blows up into a full scale World War, those positions will be fortified with many more “assets” that were not required to “keep the peace” in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Why do you think that we have a bunch of assets that are readily available to use in a World War?

____________

When it comes to defending against them it does...but we’re in no way ready for a total defense against an ICBM onslaught.

“Iran is part of the russian alliance. Its just part of the same war.”

Do you own a map? If you fight a war against Iran and a war in the Caucuses, you need twice the assets and logistics. It doesn’t matter that they are allies.

Besides, do you think Russia wants Iran to get nukes?

Somebody needs to post this in breaking if they have not already done it. This is a major step up.

They can’t do that without also cutting off the Germans, so there’s a positive side to that.

Yes... Russia will give Iran Nukes.

Do you own a history book?

Was the war in north africa and the middle east, Italy and germany 3 different wars?

Think of it this way.. This Is WWII, and we don’t have to take France because we already have it. Yes. Iran will need to be smashed. but so did most of Europe During WWII.
