Here’s the thing about sending a message using the military. It must have credibility. When Reagan and Nixon threatened action, they put all the logistics and funding into place. When North Koreans shot a couple of US officers across the DMZ Nixon said he’d blow them back to the stone age. He ordered the entire Pacific fleet with logistics into a ready state and started deploying bombers with fuel and bombs. The North backed down instantly. When they similarly tested Obama he sent a letter. Obama’s red lines in the sand would have been effective if he’d moved the millions of dollars worth of equipment and thousands of personnel necessary into ready positions, but he didn’t so the red line had no credibility.
The Russian will know if this is a real threat based on the movement of logistics. My guess is it isn’t real. It’s more posturing. The only person fooled is Obama.
WTH are they doing in Estonian? They never will be used! They should have been in Syria months ago instilling fear into and killing ISIS terrorists!
Send them where they are not needed. Bank up job, NATO!
