(31,158 posts)I think he knows what he can get away with. Of course, Lindsey Graham!s allegations about Benghazi being the root of the problem really ring true.
Sarcasm definitely intended.

I'll repeat a quote from earlier today,
"Never corner anything meaner than yourself." That applies majorly in this situation. Obama and Kerry are walking on eggshells with this Napoleonic character.

(9,462 posts)the NATO folks involved and it's over and out. It won't be a six month walk in the park, but the numbers aren't there for Russia. You look at the military firepower, manpower and technological advantage of the West vs. Russia and they don't stand a chance. Russia's military is very good, don't get me wrong, but they don't have the numbers. Why do you think Putin has been upgrading their military and increasing defense spending? He doesn't like the math.
I think if Obama and Kerry are walking on eggshells it's because Putin is too unpredictable. I think Putin would go to war rather than lose face.

(1,135 posts)exactly what I mean. I know we have the military force to beat Russia, But at what cost to us? That's what I feel Obama and Kerry are striving for as hard as they can; to avoid war.
The right are slathering all over themselves wanting war. They are monsters.

(17,528 posts)their mouth's are watering at the thoughts of all that money and they don't give a dime about the people, deaths and the environment. I wouldn't even be surprised if they didn't want to nuke them.
