@Buddy Larsen…

I meant a nuclear equipped country (Russia)doesn’t have to be strong or have it all together to wreak havoc, they just need a madman strong enough to order a launch and someone caught in their net willing to push the launch buttons. I’m with you, if we must , we must, but we’ve got a lot of non-nuke havoc we can wreak on them with precision. Russian military hardware and or troops need to go up in smoke quickly before anyone, anywhere on any side will believe the USA anymore. The world just doesn’t believe we’ve got the guts to strike directly against Putin and until we prove it, rather than threaten it, the rest of the world will be hedging their bets, and Russia will get a free ride wherever they want to go.
