If they can't take Ukraine with the US providing the bare minimum amount of aid the Republicans will allow, I'm curious what they think they can accomplish against our best efforts in an actual war.
I'm not curious at all. Let's just stop this shit already.
How unlikley is it they've held back at minimum one airplane and a big ass bomb (atomic, nuclear, etc, I have no idea) for the USA? Best effort or not, if one thing gets through some people are fucked. Some is more then none and that's too much.
On the other hand the United States has been politically gridlocked for the last 15 years because of Russian puppets. For some of us that's been as good as a death sentence.
Absolutely - and I bet with Trump in office he could almost taste the win.
Imagine Trump being in office and him basically kneecapping any response to Russian aggression in Europe. He could bring the US to its knees by trying to play wannabe dictator and tying us up dealing with all the civil unrest that will follow from that. Meanwhile, Europe is left to its own devices to try to handle Russia on its own (with Trump even likely providing intelligence to Russia or even withholding aid to Europe, as he's already promised to do). All signs are kind of pointing to this eventuality if Trump gets elected, and Republicans are too dumb to understand it (or they don't care, because "F* Europe", right?).
The US was late to WW1 and WW2. Wants to go 3 for 3 apparently.
They think they are going to elect a foreign asset to the office of US president and that we will then stand down.
Trump already promised to pull out of NATO if he wins.
Source? I've seen threats and hints, but not an explicit promise.
Welcome out from under your rock, here's a Reuters summary of Trumps anti-NATO posturing over the last 7 years. A lot of it based on lies.
His threats to exit NATO were credible enough that there's now legislation forbidding a president to do so.
You might want to practice your web searching skills as well, it took me about two minutes to find independent sources describing and confirming this.
To be honest even Russia isn't that stupid to touch NATO.
The article is rage bait
Your best effort? Nuclear armageddon. Both europe and russia will be wiped off of world map. US might be able to survive but some towns will be Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
That is with your best effort, so save your fucking bullshit.
