Where do you get that? We have a strained relationship with Russia that's about it. GWB was in Russia for what - five days at some point last year or this year.

Fifty years of Russia( in its various forms) supporting those we have been at war with.

That's because contrary to popular belief GWB does talk to leaders that can be reasonable....little loud mouth running of at the hip like in Iran are not reasonable in their wants.

Russia is our ally....they just don't agree with us on many issues, which is okay. Putin got tired of listening to the West and trying to please them so he went out hand picked a new guy. And dealing with two of them is probably gonna be the toughest thing USA is gonna face over there cause they seem to act as if they don't run the same country.

I would suggest we simply provide any military equipment needed by our allies,it is the least we can do.

Ok fine lets give them military equipment which will in time wind up in Russian hands considering our stuff is million times better than theirs (except AK47)

With all the crap mortgage securities China used to buy from us, and all the tennis shoes, gadgets, and cheap plastic junk we imported from them, you sure could've fooled me

Ga does seem to have USA old 102 Howitzers but they just dont have the man power to keep Russia at bay.

Russian infantry is now rolling in with air support / GA will have to pull back and will not hold.

Russia will engulf them fast and thats the way they should do it . its over for GA

We disagree here, Russia was our ally up to about the time Putin came to power. Now I don't view us as clean in the deterioration of the relationship, we certainly were guilty of bad international behavior as the USSR was dismantled. However, I think we have now recognized the stupidity of gloating and corrected this problem.

But, Russia today leaves a lot to be desired. They are in the process of ruining their economy over the long term, and natural resources is their only saving grace.

Pull back WHERE???

Russia is conquering their nation....

Sad how many feel this is okay as long as we don't annoy Russia.

Shades of 1938.
