Yep. That's exactly what I told a German Freeper a month or so ago on a similar thread. I told him he'd better start learning Russian because with Obamalamadingdong in the White House Europe could no longer depend on the USA for it's defense. He couldn't see the connection. If Israel goes for broke and starts a war with Iran after bombing their nuclear sites into oblivion that will slow or stop about 40% of the world's oil supply that passes through the Straight of Hormuz because it will suddenly be in a war zone. Europe will almost certainly have to get most of their oil and gas from Russia. This puts the whole of Europe under Pootie's KGB thumb. The Euroweenies are too stupid to see what is on their horizon.
BHO=increased troop commitment to Afghanistan
The wife and I just did a quick trip up to SW Virgina for a couple of days of hiking. Along the way up and back we saw dozens of military vehicles being moved south. Mostly, it was Bradley's, Humvees and MRAPs, but there were a couple of M1A1's, too. Could be a coinkydink, but the last time I saw this much military hardware being moved south was about two months prior to the Iraq invasion. Before that it was during the first Gulf War. Something is up....
