Poland has sent their sons to die at our request. And if my son or daughter want to join the military when they are of age, that's their prerogative.

What do you think General Mattis would do?

I have about 7 friends still active duty in Marine Cops. But I do trust Gen. Mattis.

I don't think there will be a war with the Russians. Trump said it himself, you cannot fight two wars at the same time. His priority is ISIS. I would give ISIS and ME to the Russians.

Anyway, it's not our concern.
Touche', besides Obama laughed at Mitt Romney when Mitt said Russia was the next biggest threat during their debate. I can see O supplying weapons straight to Russia like he did with ISIS and Al-queda in Syria

Don't worry, Obama won't get his war with Russia. Trump will likely bring the tension down.

The world has changed, meaning we can destroy Russia if they try to invade our shores.

Sure, having an ocean to the east and west is lucky for us, but it's time to use that luck to our advantage.

Liberals seem to love the idea of war.

Europe is going to choke on their poor decisions and that is their problem.
