no
but what other outcome would a solid "russian stomp" get?
i guess i see your point there
their response to the attack would be nukes, fair point
nuclear deterance
Russia can't win army vs army
but they can cause Mutually assured destruction
ya thats what i come back to
Metal Gear solid covered this
"If you win, we all go"
the "deterance" we claim to have ready
we haz nukes
they do too
tru
which is why i really dont think it would be as cut and dry as we would declair open war
if russia handed over the agents they claim were "responsible" i bet we would wash our hands and call it a day
just going off normal responses here, not suggesting anything crazy
yea but putin cant turn over the agents. It would make him appear weak
exactly
I think it is time to elect Vermin Supreme
look weak or have a nuke at your throat.......... i bet he goes weak
almost all cases of the eastern powers being difficult is meant to be a sign of strength
there comes a point where russia would have a response of their own
and we wont touch russia
if "their guy"
was found out
Nah, they'd just take sanctions, and then dodge them with 3rd parties
and everything will be the same again
how strong will putin appear to russia at that point
his own party would kick him out
cant nuke them and invading russia never works unless you are the mongols
or hand him over to avoid war
they wuoldn't hand him over
cuz thats a sign to each other that they're weak, and could just be next the next time the US would make demands
i think you way overestimate their allegience to putin
you can only sanction the russians so much
its not allegiance to putin at all
But if 10 people are all willing to sell the otehr 9 out
they'd have no trust to work togetehr
he is really popular
so the first one to become the "leader" would execute the other 9 cuz they can't be trusted anymore
