Russia ain't the old USSR; if Putin TRIED to get stupid, THAT could black back on the dude and, bad.

If he whipped out the nukes against Poland and so on, that WOULD get real bad since the US will start tossing nukes, too.

Correct. Reagan helped tear down the wall and free Eastern Europe. Trump wants to give it all back.

If Trump starts a war with Iran it will be World War 3. The U.S. and its allies vs Iran and its allies Syria and Russia, not to mention potential major terrorists attacks on American soil that it could spark. Heck in all of the confusion with Trump and his clueless team, North Korea might jump in and give us a challenge. It's going to be hell but we can thank all the idiots who put Trump in office.

Do you expect Russia to look the other way regarding US Geo-Political Strategy?

There is no treaty. It was a UN Security Council Resolution.

No, they can't. I've explained why they can't a dozen times.

Like I've said a dozen times, when it time to effect regime change in Iran, it will happen and it doesn't matter who is President.

Really ??? I Remember the same sort of bravado talk back in the 60's about a little jungle country called Viet Nam. How could a bunch of mismatched weapons and people living in rice paddies defeat the greatest army in the world ? We all know how that little fiasco ended up.

What most people do not grasp about countries like Iran, is , you kill one of them and 10 more are radicalized into getting revenge. The Russians could not even win in Afghanistan , and the Russians do not exactly fight with gloves on.

We do not need another war on our hands right now, or ever.

I don't want to see this administration start or promote any wars..

But I have a plan A and a plan B

Plan A : Speak out against it and side with legitimate anti-war groups who oppose the proliferation of war and conquest.

Plan B : In event that plan A fails, be prepared to profit immensely in an ancillary fashion, when the confrontation begins.

Very simple and straightforward.

Vietnam: word was our military was NOT allowed to hit with full force. If our people could've, the Vietnam War would've gone down much different IMHO.
