Since Germany is no longer on the front line, we should redeploy eastward. In fact, Germany has been pretty much useless as an ally, and what little they have done for us they have to do it in secret because the Germans are probably even more rabidly anti-American than the French are. I think we should arm and strengthen the countries in the East we judge as having the most resolve and ability to hold back the Russians when Russia turns on them.

I don’t think Putin is finished. This is one of his opening moves. Our next move should be to pretty much lay waste to Iran’s nuclear weapons programs, aircraft defenses, navy, leadership, and Revolutionary Guards. Doing Iran would be a severe blow to Russia, because right now Iran is Russia’s crown jewel client.
