I have no love of Putin—But, like the British troops in North Africa who faced Rommel, The desert Fox, I respect him and understand his actions. i don’t think Obama would fight Putin—even if New York was nuked. (Putin would blame it on Terrorists)— I don’t think Poland would fight for the corrupt Ukainians—nor would the Germans or French.
If a war started—It would quickly turn into WW III. This time —we might not win. I don’t believe the Average American has the balls to fight and die—and sacrifice for such a war. Once the Body bags start rolling in—in the hundreds of thousands—the Anti-War movement would start. Better learn to speak Russian —Da!
“Anti-War movement would start. Better learn to speak Russian —Da!”
Only if a Republican is in office. With Obama, the anti war crowd would say his response is nuanced.
“I have no love of Putin—But, like the British troops in North Africa who faced Rommel, The desert Fox, I respect him and understand his actions”
Rommel was an honorable man who loved his wife. Exactly what are the many character traits and actions you find in Putin that you respect? Having children with his mistress? Theft? Murder? His crushing of dissent and all hopes of a future democracy in Russia? Starting proxy wars in neighboring countries? Threatening the world with nuclear weapons?
