Putin isn’t stupid enough to not know he is outmatched on the battlefield if he fought the U.S., and the U.S. would not be fighting alone.
It’s a joke.
Obama is the weak one, not the US military...
For the sake of argument, let's assume Russian tanks roll into all three Baltic states. Then what?
Would Obama and NATO start a strategic bombing of Russian targets? Would they mass tanks on the Polish border, and then strike towards Moscow? Would they risk a Third World War for the Baltics?
Or would Obama and NATO declare some sort of military blockade of Russia, and then leave it at that?
I'm betting it would be the latter option. Putin wins, and NATO falls apart, just like the old League of Nations did.
There is a powerful lesson here. Do not make treaty promises that you can't keep or won't keep.
We don’t have crap in Europe, and it’d take a couple of months to get a credible force there. Have the ships sailed yet?
