I fail to see anything new in policy.Policy has always been in retalliation to WMD, the USA will employ overwhelming force,including nuclear force
This is not a test.
This is reality.
That some people are not aware of the consequences of implementintation of full USA military involvement, is not an excuse for ignorance of reality.
The current situation of the world reminds me of more prosaic times of entering bars with my former husband.We just went out to dance, and have fun together, but there was always that little guy, the drunkest loudmouth in the bar, who wanted to prove his nonexistant manhood, by baiting an alpha male.
Atempting to ignore him did not work.Pacifying him did not work.Knocking him off the barstool and standing on his throat was the only thing that worked.
I never understood the testosterone of the inferior male confronting the superior male in the abscence of an overt threat.
Must be a guy thing.
But I am OK with nukes.I quess that is a USAF veteran woman thing.I wont pretend to be happy about it, but I wont pretend to be sorry.
