Fen,

Neither Mexico nor Canada would attack a disputed border zone and kill more than 1000 people. That is what Georgia did to Russia…even if provoked by bandits and ambushes which Saakvashili is not talking about much…there was no excuse for killing those civilians.

If the Russians installed a Moscow State University graduate into the government of either Mexico or Canada and then started saying that they would militarily take back the Gadsden Purchase or the Upper Michigan Peninsula (using Russian military equipment)…we Americans would militarily conduct a regime change.

I am not saying this should happen, but please have some perspective.

This is not 1938. Nobody is talking about Lebensraum.

You don’t need to let an idea that this is World War Two just fester in your head after knowing about a news event for 3 days from Fox News.
