Given I"m a little prone to obsession, I'm still scared of a possible war between Russia and the US. I don't understand our love affair with Georgia, our provocation of placing missile shields in former Warsaw Pact countries. I also don't like how Russia continues to lie about withdrawing forces from Georgia. All in all, I've worried myself sick about a possible military confrontation. Does anyone see a glimmer of hope in all of this? Will this crisis blow over in time? Also, do you guys think that the tension now is as severe as it was during the height of the Cold War?

It will not blow over! Putin is a man on a mission flexing his muscle and wealth. This is just the begining, When Nuculer war breaks out between Iran and Israel, the rest of the world will start joining the fight, It is a pretty safe bet that Russia and China will align with Iran. Western Europe will then have to decide if they risk Putin shutting off their oil supply if they go against Russia! Of course right now the world should just stand down, and talk! Some world leaders, ours included, better grow some testicles before its to late! Kind of makes the choice between McCain and Obama a no brainer!

I understand your concerns. But, the big but, I'm more concerned of a "false flag" operation of Israel on a U.S. naval vessel. Blaming the deaths and destruction on Iran by way of using Iranian weapons, and sending false communications from Tehran to look as if Iran is behind it. Israel is desperate to involve the U.S. in their dirty deeds in the middle east, including the annihilation of Arabs/Muslim threats in the region. Any Americans with any common sense would be able to pick up on this, for it is widely known Israel did this once before on the USS Liberty. Don't expect our established "media" to even question this scenario either, the propaganda machine would have most Americans rally behind a counter attack on Iran, making once again fools of most Americans to swallow the bull, and most of the civilized world to again shake their heads in disbelief and wonder just how stupid are the Americans?

It is my belief that a war on Iran would completely destroy what's left of our economy, $6.00 a gallon gas at the start of such a war, ? who knows how high it will climb afterwards? The U.S. would no longer be a "super power" either. Bottom line is: no matter if some of you want war with Iran or not, some now say the neo-cons have already planned it. The writing is on the wall, and "America" will never be the same if we go into Iran.

So please don't fret over Russia, I believe we'll never war with them, posturing and pandering. We could nuke this world over 100 times and we both know it.

If something does "happen" and the war drums beat for Iran, please remember what you read here, think about how the media is delivering their "facts", just think a little, and the hint of the truth may smack you in the face.

We are not gonna do anything to provoke Russia (or China, for that matter). Condi Rice was such a paper tiger . . . "Bad bad bad. You all are bad. Now play nice or we are gonna keep telling everyone how BAD you are."

We will posture and tsk tsk tsk but nothing is gonna happen to put us in the position of having to deal head on w/ Russia.

Believe me, I was a child in the 60s, when we had air raid drills so we would "know what to do when the Russians come." This ain't nothing like those days. Truly.

Our military is so drained right now any conflict other than the ones we have would be a major mistake. lets get out of Iraq let us have some time at home for a bit and re energize and we can talk about a new fight. Right now would not be a good time to start a fight.

Terrified of a Russia-US War




Relax, theres not going to be a war between the U.S. and Russia ever. I would be more worried about how the U.S. handles internal issues inside herself than Russia in the future.

What would it take to convince you it wasn't Israel?

Don't you know that the Jews are taking over the whole world

What Israel needs to do is drop about 10,000 pieces of gefilte fish on Iran. No nuclear bomb can compete with that crap. I'm telling you the Jews know how to make a weapon of mass destruction!
