All warfare is based on deception. (I:18)If the will is not in our leadership, then any demagogue will keep pushing to see where the limits are, and will breach the limits where deemed feasible. Same thing happened during the 1930s with Adolf. And there are too many people sympathetic with Vladimir in our own federal government, as I presume you well know (including Obama, obviously)and just as many sympathizers in the EU.
That was your point?
OK.
