Bit of a different time, but a good example.

We are not, quite, at a hair trigger with Russia (though we may be heading there over Kosovo),

Considering the financial, political and generally devastated condition of Russia today (basically run by the Russian mob), why are we overly concerned with them?

Even if we were in a “hair trigger” situation with Russia … what do they have to offer in the exchange. No Navy, Army or Air Force. Little to threat us with except threats.

Could induce NK to fire missiles at us … might make it 25 miles.

China, not ready to challenge the US (today).

The powers in the world also have to remember all the Nuke subs. we have all over the world … got to be uppermost in their minds.
