I think some of y'all need to read a little history. Like The sudetenland just prior to the start of WWII. Hitler just kept moving forward because nobody had the stones to say ENOUGH. I am not a war lover, but Putin is making scary noises and making scary moves. Where will he stop, if no one says ENOUGH?

We can't afford to keep spreading ourselves this thin, militarily. America has enough irons in the fire right now without getting involved in any more of the world's skirmishes.

Are you kidding? Obama's not President yet, haha. Try coming into America that will be their last mistake. We are Cowboys still and dont have a problem with going off the deep end for $ or land. Me on the other hand will be heading to Canada and fishing while this WWIII starts.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I havent seen Russia make any attempt at invading or overthrowing the government of a soverign nation. I havent seen Russia occupy any country that is 3,000 miles away for the better part of six years. I havent seen Russia force their way of life onto other nations in order to promote "their" way of thinking and believing.
I havent seen Russia seize an entire country in order to reap the profits from their oil wells/natural resources. I havent heard Vladamir Putin talking about the need to spread Russian ideology at any cost.
Russia responded to an attempted ethnic cleansing of it's own citizens in an outer province that was under attack. How would you expect America to respond if we were to find out that Russia was sending billions of dollars and weaponry to Mexico with the attempt to influence the politics of that country for the benefit of Russia?

Exactly!!! This is what will lead to an eventual occupation of our Sovereign soil here in the U.S. Spread our troops so thin abroad that we have no one left to defend our borders except our civilians that possess limited fire power.

Hmmm... I don't think that it will get THIS bad, but it is a good point to consider. Definately we would benefit more by having the defense here (where it belongs and what our military should be intended for) rather than abroad defending these little countries w/ rather big "mouths".
Originally posted by BlackOps719 These elected scoundrels who are responsible for the past five years of aggression should be tried for war crimes and put in prison. They have done a huge disservice not only to our nation and our tax payers who have elected them, but they have also commited an unforgiveable offense against our fighting men and women who have suffered as a result....not to even mention the millions of foreign lives that have been taken and ruined as a result of their greedy and piss poor decisions.

we have the best nuclear program in the whole world, and pretty much the best navy, definetly the best airforce
