I want to ask you once again, what the purpose of your plan? Why US and Russia can't live in peace together?
Russia like China can not fight the UNITED STATES on an offensive due to U. S having a ring of bases that surrounds China and Russia. You have American troops in Japan and in South Korea. America has an strategic pact with Australia and New Zealand. Also Taiwan is a client state of the U.S. Afghanistan war after 9/11 allowed U.S to have military bases in the heart of Asia which can strike both China and Russia. Also their is a U. S base in Kyrgyzstan not to far from Chinese border. Russia is not that far from the middle east. If anything the middle east is Russia's back yard. Israel is an American client state and can strike Syria and Iran both Russian allies. Last US can use bases in Turkey or in Germany which can strike Western Russia. The US has 4 ways to strike Russia Russia and only two ways to strike China.

Russia is just triying to make maneuvers against the United States and using other countries like China to be on its wing. So far it seems to be working. Right now we are in economic warfare with Russia. Lets see how things work out in the future.

Five ways if you count the secret tunnel being bored through the center of the Earth as part of Operation "Wet Willie" in progress even now. The evidence is being hidden amongst the sand being dumped in East-central New Mexico over the past 30 years. Just like in the 'Great Escape' but with bigger pants legs.

Why do you need this war?

You discuss Russia, what do you know about Siberia and Russia?

Is a war with then something we could ever envision in our lifetime?
Honestly, I think we would win, but it would come at a HUGE cost, a lot of people would be killed and both nations would be devastated. It would amount to a pyrrhic victory.

Have you been to NYC, or San Francisco or even in DC for that matter and ask who are buying these multi million dollar city dwellings with no occupants inside of them? Its plenty of Russian and Chinese oligarchs who are buying these properties and putting down payments for a mortgage, however not fully paying off for the property. IF they want to, Chinese and Russian investors can pull their investment in the property right out of the noses of U.S banks making the banks fall into a tailspin. This thing started way before the U.S imposed sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine.

Is it a threat to buy properties in US? If it is a threat why US government didn't prohibit them to buy?

Frost in Siberia, hills, taiga, thousands of miles away, you can not hold a vast territory.

Your tanks bogged down and will be useless, your soldiers will repeat the fate of Napoleon, cold and hunger. Or are you waiting for an easy walk?

August 24 (September 5) in 1854 in the midst of difficult for Russian Crimean War (1853-1856) Petropavlovsk(city) and the few garrison had won a brilliant victory over the superior forces of the Anglo-French squadron attacked the port of Petropavlovsk - the main stronghold of the Russian Far East.



Defended Russian Kamchatka, from Anglo French squadron, you did not succeed. Do you want to repeat?
