I saw your post #43 which answered my question in my #50, so we put a couple of aircraft carriers into the region, how do you think that plays out if Putin decides he isn’t going to back off?
Think logistics. Putin is not that far from Mother Russia, our forces on the other hand are half a world away. Our armed forces have been slashed and minimized to the lowest level of readiness since World War I, and that is no way to prepare to confront the Russian bear.
Don’t agree. We still have tactical nukes, last I looked.
Our carriers enter the Dardinelles like the British tried in WW I and the mine filed goes up behind them.
