Lets put it another way, are you scared of 20,000 nuclear weapons being unleashed on the population of Earth thereby eliminating the human species? it certainly gives me pause for concern.
Why? If it happens it happens at least we'd be warm on the way out....
I’m not a senior boomer but a mid life gen Xer and I can tell you that any delusion you may have about peace and appeasement is just that....a delusion. What these “senior citizens” you complain about know is that totalitarian dictators and bullying nations thrive on appeasement and weakness and that kind of weak policy invites more of thier aggression. The only way to have peace is to project strength. Only when the wolf fears you will he leave you alone. If he smells your fear, weakness or passivity your going to be his dinner.
Delusion? Is the savior becoming an oppressor a delusion? You youngsters need to wisen up. Keep your boiler plate blatherings to yourself. It's been said a billion times and never made a difference to anyone. It's an excuse for poor behavior.
From some reports, Russia has already hacked into the electric grid of the United States and can disable it in a matter of miinutes, essentially stopping all data transfer immediately. Without the ability to communicate, we would not be able to field a response to anything without long delays.
Is that anything to be scared of? If it is a plausible threat, what is Trump doing as president to address and forestall such an attack? If nothing, then he is literally allowing Russia the leeway to take over the country without a shot being fired.
Russia is ruthless & relentless, once they get wound up.
They are good at defending their homeland, not at projecting power elsewhere. Their military is actually pretty bad overall right now. Lots of stuff that looks good on paper, but doesn't work, or it is not maintained, and in short supply. Their troops aren't nearly as well trained as ours, nor well equipped. They use a lot of contractors, and conscripts that aren't very motivated.

I keep reading comments saying Russia is broke and can't afford a war and that their military is incapable, I keep thinking how its dangerous to underestimate a opponent and be so sure how a chain of events will or will not unfold.
As long as Trump and Putin are BFF's, we are fairly well safeguarded against any kind of serious war.
After all, they don't want to destroy any portion of their "new" mutually ruled alt-right empire!
The U.S. has been an empire for over 100 years.
