aww crap, just when I thought US forces were looking to extricate themselves from this Ukraine messup, they go and do this stupid game of escalation bravado.

Are they wanting a S400 launch?

The US escalated with threats to Russian territory to gain leverage.

And Russia response was body bags.

The Two Alexes made the excellent point that while the neocon nutjobs are obsessing about Ukraine, the Middle East and 70 years of diplomacy have just slipped away from them, probably forever. The China-Saudi-Iran deal may well be looked back on (if we are allowed that privilege) as the point when US unipolarism died. And the neocons were completely blind-sided by this crazed fixation with a country of little consequence. They make Jimmy Carter seem like Bismarck.

Guess I’m a little more diabolical than you Tex, because I was thinking “slow” roasting over charcoal! Seems to me that a sudden intense poof is just way too quick and easy. :-)

There’s nothing wrong with “us”, but there is sure as hell something wrong the “leaders” in this country!! Incompetent, ignorant, arrogant, needlessly provocative, dimwitted, pick one or choose them all and you’ll be pretty close to dead on.

Guessing these people missed the lecture that assures us that the classic definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I hear you and when you figure out how we get rid of these “unelected” leaders, send me the particulars and I’ll pay for the gas, or the rope. :-)

Who will deliver us from these unelected merciless warmongers? There’s no one.

I used to think, during the Obama years, that those in charge relied too heavily on “talk.” Now, there’s nothing I’d rather see than the return of rational diplomacy.
