I'd really love to know why we are standing on the brink of war with Russia over Syria!
Some have said that our current situation could be even more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis.
As much as I can't stand Trump, it's Obama and Hillary who are saber rattling and pushing this. If Hillary gets in, she will likely make things worse.

I remember the cold war in the 80s and constant worry about two countries armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons going to war.

Why is the medial so silent about this?? They would rather talk about Trump groping women or Kim Kardashian getting robbed!

It's also amazing to me that so many democrats were SO angry and up in arms when we entered into war with Iraq that everyone knew was for B.S. reasons but these same hypocrites stand by and allow Hillary to talk about a no-fly zone over Syria which would effectively mean war with Russia or getting damn close to one.

The stakes here are a lot higher than a needless war with Iraq. They are the possibility of war with Russia.

Clinton is comparing hand size with Trump. That's all this is.

Democrats are war hungry maniacs.

They have ruined Libya, supported fascist MB in Egypt, hell bent on removing Assad, supplied weapons to ISIS, and rattling Russia's cage.

We're not on the "brink of war". Russia directs us to stay out of the way while they bomb civilians and we do it.
Does that sound like a "brink" to you?

I was thinking about this the other day. Back then I didn't like the republicans because I was sure we would have a nuclear war.


And here we are nearly 40 years later...and it's the democrats.


Weird how things are circular, isn't it?

We're always on the brink of war because war has a way of starting unexpectedly. Syria and North Korea are possible ignition points. So is the South China Sea.

Ambiguity often starts wars. One side misinterprets the other. That's a problem in all the current messes. We say something but do another or nothing. Allies get hung out to dry, adversaries grope for the next point of resistance.

We've turned "Speak softly but carry a big stick" on its head.

George Soros and the international banking families want a 1 world government, to accomplish that we are going to have a large war or two. If the citizens of the countries pay the price what do they care? The issue is that so many do not care and are happy voting for Hillary because she will give them free crap and Trump said some bad things that we are heading down the road to accomplishing their goals.

So what happens if China, Iran and N. Korea back the Russians? Is the world screwed? Nukes? Could the US fight a war with so many internal conflicts (rather "soft" population that is politically/socially divided)?

Sure if you ignore everything else that does not sound like the brink of war, but if you realize that at the same time we place bombs on their borders, we arm their enemies, we are interfering with their countries matters, they have let it be known multiple times in the last couple of weeks that they feel war is coming, our SOS, President, and one of the candidates are all blaming them for their issues and threatening them. Yep sounds like the brink to me
