That’s why the tanks were brought back after Obama got rid of all of them. He made a huge mistake. He finally corrected it. It’s insurance. It’s also like a safety program to be aware of what Putin is actually doing. It allows us to have the right information as we do the risk assessment.
I wasn’t aware he had drawn them down.
A few weeks ago Obama was rattling his sabre in Syria. McCain was shooting his mouth off in the Ukraine. Then the media was pushing the idea we were putting additional tanks and other equipment on the border with Russia.
When you get circle jerks doing things like that, it can lead to reactions on the other side.
These folks play with talk of war as if it were merely plans for next Saturday night’s social club.
In that environment, just about anything can happen.
