We have troops in Iraq, THAT would be a very bad idea if they hit our troops.

The Russians aren't taking over, they're helping take back.
Difficult to argue with success.
Correct. But isn't there a threat that the Persian Hizbullah combined with Russians and company could overtake and potentially invade Israel? The presence of Chinese force doesn't help the matter either..
If Russians and Persians now have agreements and access to Jordan, doesn't that compromise and imperil Israel? My fear is that everyone will or already does have their eyes on Israel..

Thermobarics have eclipsed nukes, same damage, no rads we use DU to take out armor ,but actual use of WMDs is uneccessary when you rule conventional war,and we do. HANDS DOWN.
We aren't at strength right now but let an credible aggresor hit us and we will whip out things that you wouldn't believe.

I wouldn't be too sure of the situation on the ground re: the "Big Bear" coming to town.

President Obama found his private moment of political candor caught by a live microphone on Monday as he told President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia that he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate on the delicate issue of missile defense after the November election, which Mr. Obama apparently feels confident he will win.

Remember when, just before the 2012 elections, when Obama and Putin sat together for the press.....and Obama, not realizing his mic was on, said to Putin:
" i can do a lot more in my second term" (paraphrasing)
Russia taking the role as world police is interesting, the US making red lines, and do nothing about them, says another.
Obama's 2nd term is making Putin look like a superhero to many.

Are laser systems?
Rail guns?
I don't think so.
