Putin has less disdain for America than Obama has. Obama wants to destroy America while Putin doesn’t. He just doesn’t want us to destroy Russia. Obama doesn’t care who goes down, as long as America goes down with them.

Wake up Boehner and McConnell! Get off your dead behinds and re-establish the Republican party and fight this cretin head on. Americans who vote Conservative demand it. You're a disgrace to your country and two more willing sycophants I've yet to see.

.....which is what White House insider Lawrence Cobb believes. He noted that we spend ten times as much money on our military as the Russians spend on theirs, and that “We’d clean their clocks. Russian troops are not that good. They are not as modern.”

This man is a certified effing idiot. Ask a US pilot if he wants to go up against a current generation double digit SAM or the newest one.......

This is all going according to plan.

Whose plan?

Ayers, Jarrett, Soros.

Obama isn’t willing to defend America against anybody, so it doesn’t matter what our military capability might be.

I wonder if a segment of the Roman citizens felt the same way as they watched their civilization crumble from corruption and evil from within their own ranks...

The Russians wouldn’t stand a chance in a “Drag Race.”

Well they were not thrilled when the barbarians spilled through the gates. I don’t fear invasion from anyone, but putting us back to the 1870’s in terms of isolation woul not be much fun.

I agree with you and would add:

Russia has several initial advantages in a conventional conflict in Europe with NATO.

Russia has a distinct numerical (if not quality) advantage in armor, interior lines, surprise, and concentration of force against an enemy which must be spread out in the shape of a horseshoe. Russia can easily concentrate overwhelming force at an identifiable target area and overwhelm it, at least initially. I think that is why we recently sent warthogs to the theater to try to balance distinct advantage the Russians possess in tanks and interior lines and concentration of force.

Russia also has the advantage of fighting Napoleon's favorite enemy, allies. The strength of the NATO alliance is probably a myth. It is impossible to believe that modern Europeans are going to unite and fight doggedly for any principle or any identifiable piece of soil which is not their own. It might be true that in the long run the overwhelming and qualitatively superior forces of the USA would prevail but only after local success by the Russians making it very difficult to eject them. Many Europeans, my neighbors not excluded, believe that the true enemy is the United States and not Russia. Finally, no one has confidence in the the American administration which is an indispensable element if NATO is to function and vital if NATO is to deter.

McCain is a “war hero” according to our ‘news’ media.

And so is John “Purple Heart” Kerry.

This dishonored club is blindsided by the glow from Czar Skeeter’s crown.

However, the Pentagon’s dire assessment may be less of a warning, and more of a desperate plea to stop cutting their budget

More evidence that the whole 'Russian aggression' meme was ginned up to boost defense spending.

HEY! Leave our troops alone. They’re busy playing dress up Barbie in the barracks. :-)
