The thought that Russia would launch nukes on the US if we defended Estonia is ridiculous to say the least, simply for fear of the retaliatory strike. Having said that, the question is whether we should fight Russia in Europe or wait until Russia has gobbled up all of their land, population, and production capacity and believes itself strong enough, perhaps after making a treaty with China, to make war on the US and Canada here in North America. Take your pick, sooner or later that choice will have to be made.

Its like a herd of lambs trying to appease the wolves with each lamb secretly hoping to be the last one eaten. Of course we should go fight in Europe, we’re not defending Europe at that point, we’re defending ourselves; while just using Europe as the battlefield, again. We all must understand that Russia’s target is not Europe. Europe is just a means to an end, which is destroying the US. I cannot say whether Estonia would or should be the tripwire, but most certainly by the time Russia gets to Poland it should be. We’re going to have to fight the Bear and the Dragon at some point, we should choose battlefields as far away from the US as possible. This is the lesson of history I hope our political leaders have not forgotten.

The thing is, the Poles won’t wait until NATO gives them the OK to take action....If the Western Ukraine or the Baltics were threatened, they would move in.

The only problem with that statement is that the US would likely not launch a retaliatory strike and Russia knows it.

The current CIC would not counter launch due to his ideology , a hint of which surfaced in his saying during the 2008 campaign that he felt the US could withstand a nuclear hit. We have become the cheese eating french surrender monkeys.
