Obama has neutered our ArmedForces to a shell of it's former self. You can have all the fancy smancy toys you want,but if your people don't have the will to fight a war, you will never be victorious.
Obama says U.S. military ?superior? to Putin?s Russian forces | PBS NewsHour
Cold War games: President Obama flexed some American military muscle in an interview with CBS News, saying of Russia, Theyre not interested in any kind of military confrontation with us understanding that our conventional forces are significantly superior to the Russians. We dont need a war. Reuters described the comments as Obama using words unheard since the Cold War. Obama warned Russia of consequences for what he sees as Russia violating Ukrainian sovereignty and that it was absolutely clear Russia has supported at minimum non-state militias in Eastern Ukraine.
Three pro-Russian separatists were killed in Eastern Ukraine, and Ukrainian officials said a national guard base came under attack. Russias Vladimir Putin was sharply critical, warning that Ukraines leaders were taking it into an abyss and called accusations that Russia was behind the unrest in Eastern Ukraine [nonsense] although he did for the first time acknowledge the presence of Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
He also raised the potential for Russia to use force in Ukraine, asserting that his Parliament gave him authority to do if necessary. I really hope that I do not have to exercise this right and that by political and diplomatic means we will be able to solve all of the sharp problems, he said in a televised interview in Russia. Still, for all the saber rattling, the most the West is calling for is another round of tougher sanctions, though some in the U.S. have called for arming Ukrainians. Today begins another round of talks in Geneva with Secretary of State Kerry.
