Russian Ships Near Data Cables Are Too Close for U.S.Comfort

The degree to which you guys care about russia is pathetic, and betrays the wests own insecurity and weakness. Russia has an economy the size of like canada, who even cares. Who cares if they f**k around in places most people haven't heard of? Never got the obsession with Russia.

I largely agree on the Middle East, but I have no interest in letting Putin exert greater influence over his neighbors. We get to win history, not Russia.

Agreed Asia should be our primary focus but it's America. We can fight in two theaters and win and we can exert influence in many theaters with relative ease. I do agree we should ignore Russia's dramatics, but we had to respond to the invasion of Crimea and, for now, I think we probably stymied Russia's designs on other neighbors. You seem unaware just how concerned some countries that border Russia are of the bear's more belligerent nature in recent years.

lmao getting bogged down in eastern ukraine isn't winning man. If that happened to us it would be an unmitigated disaster. again, it's like the short bro running game on a fat chick at the club. It's only a win to an insecure midget, it would be a grenade to anyone else. What other countries is he going to go after? Belarus? Moldova? I bet you forgot that place was even a country. Baltics, norway are all in nato. f**k sweden and finland, if you want to be neutral then don't bitch when your nuts are hanging in the wind. You're with us or against us etc etc. I don't even know who is in charge of half those central asian countries, but i guarantee they are a liability and not an asset.

Russia has a smaller eocnomy than italy, let the euros handle them. We should be focusing everything east, China is a real rival and not some uppity island chain like japan. Will take everything we have to keep them in check. Russia is a distraction, you can't let the loud mouthed midget throw you off your game bro.

Russia is largely aligned with China and remains the second largest military power in the world. You can't address one without also addressing the other. As stated, we are capable of handling geopolitical posturing and if necessary proxy wars in two different theaters.

And I want to win. Not just in Asia. Everywhere. We're America. We get to win. The more countries we pull into our sphere of influence the better, and IMO that's an intrinsic good.

Russia isn't aligned with china. They are huge strategic, geographic and military competitors. Again, the only reason they pretend to get along is because we are dumb enough to stick ourselves in the middle to take flak. And second largest millitary power? They can't even beat up the rump of ukraine. there is a strong likelihood if they ever did push the red button nothing but smoke would come out of the silos. half the ships they put to sea literally cannot float. the second time they tried to use a cruise missile it landed IN THE WRONG COUNTRY. their population is in sharp decline, half the men die before reaching 50, and have an economy half the size of france. paper tiger man, if you think they are a millitary power you are just buying into the midget macho nonsense.

I dont get this desire to meddle and have spheres of infuelnce like this is a f**k risk game. We invented jeans and rap and the iphone, our sphere of infulence is based on being chill, innovative and likeable, not by playing stupid games with russia. our spehere if infuelnce expands by it's very nature and meddling only backfires on us. we have no obligation to drag others along or convince them of the righteousness of our ways. If they cant see that, their loss. they can go wait in the bread lines and console themselves that conscripts dying = power while the rest of us enjoy our lives.

cant be insecure bro. we are the 6'2 alpha here and that fact is obvious, we arent the midget who needs to remind everyone how tough he is or how much kitty he pretends to slay. just let it do what it do bro
