That is not an assassination, it is a strategic strike. We are at war gentlemen and ladies. Whether we recognize this or not, our sons and daughters.... in my case grandsons and daughters, will die for NOTHING unless we step back from the abyss that is being an Empire. The World community becomes more powerful, and the US citizens, our very best, die. Not for America, but for the Empire.
Thing about facing Russians is....if you step back, they take a step forward and stay up in your face. Keep stepping back, and soon they push you over into the abyss labelled "Russky Mir".
