I’m not sure the West has the stomach for such an encounter...NATO’s weak response to Afghanistan is just one example. America has a serious lunacy problem called the Democrat Party and it will side with any enemy of the US. Dems will adopt the line that we provoked this confrontation in order to muddy the minds of the America public.
Wrong, the Democrats do not control the Executive branch right now. In a confrontation like this, that’s all that matters.
