SHOWDOWN: RUSSIA VOWS SHIELD RESPONSE BEYOND DIPLOMACY
Breaking news - just headline.
That sounds like a reasonable guess, but it could mean cutting off Russia's customers to the west of those countries too.
Expect oil prices to surge.
Most democrats, many moderates and even some self-described republicans. Sadly.
Looks like Pooty wants McCain to be pres! Thanks for the help loser.

There is no war to end.. We simply use Iraq and Afghanistan as a base of operations for the feature presentation against Russia and her allies.
We are in a FAR better position to fight this war than we would have been without those 2 positions.
The alternative is a hostile nuclear armed fanatical islamist jihadist state at their underbelly.

Russia has absorbed enough western money that it doesn’t need more west money to make it through the Winter. The same cannot be said of those nations dependent on Russia for energy. Glad my home is powered by micro-hydro generators. No grid required.
I don’t think that Russia is that stupid. If they decided to provoke us to war, we would crush them. Their one advantage is that their populace can handle serious casualties, while ours generally cannot.

I'm sooooo sure Israel is terrified after the Russian anti-aircraft batteries worked so well during Israel's bombing of Syria's nuke facility last September.
Why Colombia?
After that they they start getting irrational.
Yep, we fiddled with the UN for 6 months trying to get them to enforce their own resolutions against Iraq, all the while the Russians are cleaning out Iraq via Syria.

Why are you assuming Russia would go against their own precedent and hit Iran? They are aligned WITH Iran.
Anyone else getting Dragon’s Fury Deja Vu?

Glad I am a disaster preparedness freak and live upwind of every US nuke target. No worries except what to do when the football usually comes on.
They can't, yet; but as soon as we retire the shuttle they can do whatever they want and/or charge whatever they want for access.
“We are in a FAR better position to fight this war than we would have been without those 2 positions”
No we are not. We don’t have the resources... the men, equipment, etc. Nor the will.
We are stretched too thin to fight three wars.
Well DUH... Russia does not CARE how many die. Of either side.
