So let’s see, we have a new president, hand-picked by Putin, in Russia. We’ve got Ahmadinejad making nice with Iraq. We’ve got a new leader in Cuba. Chavez making threats against a US ally. Al Quaeda. Hammas threatening Israel. What happens when all of them get together at one time? In an election year where two socialist/communist democrats are running and very popular?
Can anybody say stretched too thin?
How anyone here possibly thinks that we can keep doing what we are doing and get involved with Iran, and get involved with Venezuela, and still be prepared to deal with China and/or Russia if needed, is living in a dreamworld. It's scary to think that so many people here are so willing to throw our already overworked and stretched thin military at this situation, and every other hotspot. How exactly can we do this without the military, and country, collapsing under the weight?
