Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Tell me, what battles did we fight in Iraq today? How many soldiers are committed to battle right now? We have 100,000+ military on the ground there, and the country has stabilized. We can easily commit some of those troops to a fight with Russia if need be.

Unfortunately, a war between us and Russia will not involve soldiers. It will involve satellites, computers, rockets and brinksmanship. We have the winning hand but I hope they back down without us having to play it.

My turn to comment on this. I actually think this is PRECISELY what they want - they may eventually use nukes on us, but I THINK they want us to show our hand, to show our capabilities. The public may never see the true story of how this "war" will be fought, but the Russians will gain enough intelligence and data to be able to eventually MATCH us.

I think this is what they might truly be after here.
