Chairman Of Joint Chiefs: US Ready For "Military Response" In Ukraine
With diplomacy having failed miserably to resolve the Russian annexation of Crimea, and soon East Ukraine (and with John Kerry in charge of it, was there ever any doubt), the US is moving to the heavy artillery. First, moments ago, the US DOE announced in a shocking announcement that it would proceed with the first draw down and sale of crude from the US strategic petroleum reserve, the first since June 2011, in what it said was a "test sale to check the operational capabilities of system infrastructure", but is really just a shot across the bow at Putin for whom high commodity prices are orders of magnitude more important than how the Russian stock market performs. And now, as Bloomberg just reported, the US has escalated even further, citing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, who "has claimed that in the case of an escalation of unrest in Crimea, the U.S. Army is ready to back up Ukraine and its allies in Europe with military actions."
So much for those peaceful hour long phone calls between Obama and Putin.
From Bloomberg:
According to the Web site of the Atlantic Council, Dempsey said that "he's been talking to his military counterparts in Russia, but he's also sending a clear message to Ukraine and members of NATO that the U.S. military will respond militarily if necessary."
"We're trying to tell [Russia] not to escalate this thing further into Eastern Ukraine, and allow the conditions to be set for some kind of resolution in Crimea. We do have treaty obligations with our NATO allies. And I have assured them that if that treaty obligation is triggered [in Europe], we would respond," Dempsey said.
According to the General, the incursion of Russian troops into the Crimea creates risks for all the countries of Europe and NATO allies.
"If Russia is allowed to do this, which is to say move into a sovereign country under the guise of protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine, it exposes Eastern Europe to some significant risk, because there are ethnic enclaves all over Eastern Europe and the Balkans," Dempsey said.
And with that, the USDJPY ramp takes the pair to overnight highs, and futures are set to go green. BTFWWIIID!
More seriously, the real question is how Putin will react to this quantum escalation in verbal hostilities: wild guess here, but somehow we doubt he will pick up and leave.

"first draw down and sale of crude from the US strategic petroleum reserve,"
Oil being diverted to EU nations that go along with the US sanctions. To make up for any Russian oil loss.
As a gung ho friend of mine said, who had just been recruited by the "Corp" and was on R&R told me, way back when we were both teenagers, "WAR IS OUR BUSINESS, AND BUSINESS IS GOOD!"
Thank God for me, while in college that year, the lottery went up to 162 and my number was 163.
I was 314
These fucking people are lunatics!

Excuse me? Since when does the US military respond to anything? You get your orders from us, assholes.
"the U.S. Army is ready to back up Ukraine and its allies in Europe with military actions"
What happend to the coalition of the willing? I don't hear any Europeans talking about hauling their shit into the Ukraine. I hope you are able to fight yourself General Dempsey because if you start up a draft no one will be coming to this party. Good luck. Every war this country has fought since I have been born has been bullshit.
The scary thing is that there are people who would show up for that party, herping and derping all the while.
Draft me, please! Train me to shoot and kill people. I'll decide who my enemies are.
"Every war this country has fought since I have been born has been bullshit."
How's Iraq working out? The weapons of mass deception. Hey Vietnam brought back memories for some people. The daily body counts for Iraq were eventually hushed up.
Most people are tired of sacrificing their bodies for boosting the profits for GE, General Dynamics, Lockheed and other defense industies.
I can just imagine the questions the pit bull watchdogs of the media are pummeling the administration with.
Is the US prepared to go to nuclear war over the Crimea? Does the US seriously believe Russia is preparing to invade Europe? Do they have the military or economic capability to make that even plausible? If so, just how soft are our European "allies"?
God that's funny. Hey, I heard Anderson Cooper might be gay. What do the ladies on The View think?
HAHAHA - yeah, our stallar media. All those fuckers do is trumpet whatever TPTP tell them to trumpet.
This is getting ridiculous,
I am sick of the global cabal creating these unecessary wars for what?!
If putin wants to annex Ukraine, give him a bear to ride and ak-47 and let him do it HIMSELF,
same thing with these fucking elite banker trolls, heres your horse, heres your assult weapon go destablize Ukraine, you fucking socilist monsters!
Go rid yourselves of our planet, the rest of us peaceful people on this planet just want to be left the FUCK alone, have some brews, and enjoy a laugh...
and
enjoy a laugh...
Which is, in fact, the answer to Fucking Elite Banker Trolls and Fucking Socialist Monsters.
enjoy a laugh... embrace joy, reject rage, refuse to be led away from the true path.
This clow would volunteer to test a firing squad. His hero is General Buck Turgidson "Gee I wish I had one of them Dooms Day machines".
Dempsey's statements demonstrate the foolishness of pursuing Polish patriot Brzezinski's plan to move NATO up to the borders of Russia.
NATO has accomplished its mission and should be disbanded.
Obama's method for the "couping" of America.
How about putting Obama (younger) against the old man Putin in a ring and let them fight it out?
If Warshington, DC gets nuked, it will be even better.
God, I hope so. The hope and change we all need badly.
Problem is, it would likely be a lot more than just DC that gets nuked. I'm looking towards the Air Force Base in my area saying "HMMMMM, the Soviets considered that one of the top 10 targets, now what about the Russians? How far will the fallout travel and what direction will it go?"
If it goes that way, Realistically the best bet is hoping that you are vaporized in the first round.
off topic...or not?

This is all hype and bullshit....
Look at this map of natural gas lines & flow volumes into Europe (data IEA.....)
http://www.iea.org/gtf/index.asp
No way is this flow of gas going to be risked by starting a hot war.
Old saying... follow the money....A large part of this is all about the flow of natural gas into Europe..... price and availability...
ZH is becoming a tool for the TPTB.... (I still can't get over the reprint of a USA Today article on this subject... REALLY Tyler!!!!!!)
I sincerely hope you're right and it is all "hype and bullshit", but I've got to ask.
do the recent actions of all parties involved make it clear that a war is out of the question?
or is it your own normalcy bias that is leading you to believe that this time is no different?
this is a highly dangerous and unpredictable situation of which reasonable, sane men are not in control of and sooner or later the "choice" to go to war or not may be made by default regardless of intention.
when you play chicken, eventually it simply becomes to late to blink and the collision is unavoidable.
Gen. Dempsey just took us one step closer to that point with these comments.
Suggest researching the 1997 Partition Treaty. And Russia's current troop deployment. (appears to be well with in the bounds of the treaty).
Keep in mind we have a currency war going on. Think of Putin's roll in undermining our reserve currency status... how has "history" treated other leaders that have attempted to do this?
And yes Putin is a thug, most of the world leaders are. But this is starting to look like a US inspired propaganda and false flag event. Most disturbing of all is the fact that I am not seeing any mention in the lame stream media that Russia has a right to have these troops in the Ukraine.
I am thinking of the history books I have read and what the German people and the world were told about the German invasion of Poland during WWII while it was occurring.
Will there be a hot war? I don't think so, but most people in England did not believe Germany would invade Poland.
Your comment on normalcy bias is well said.
hardcleareye, there perhaps comes a point where one has to "follow the murder," rather than "follow the money." However, that is extremely difficult to do, because it requires attempting to think in a criminally insane way. Many people, if they try, can attempt to "follow the money" to its source. That path appears to make rational sense. However, very few people attempt to "follow the murder" to its source. I am not asserting that I can, but that merely that I could begin to imagine that there are some such paths.
There actually is a combined money/murder system, and the murder system does back up the money system. The money facilitates the robberies, which can be made out to have some rational sense to most people. However, the killing that backs up the robbery almost operates in a world of its own, in the short-term. Sure, the power to kill is crucially necessary to back up the power to rob. Sure, there could not be any monetary measurements without the murders to back those up. Thus, being able to rob resources, or command and control the money, could be comprehended. However, being able to kill, or command and control the murder, is much more difficult to comprehend.
Human laws are extremely convoluted, since they are based on the ability to back up lies with violence. Overall, they may make some sense, because they tend towards providing access to natural resources and productive capacities, while denying those to others. However, that can not exist without the power to kill to back it up, which requires the murder systems. BUT, those murder systems tend to operate in a world of their own in the short-term, which is what they care about. Sure, they are paid for by the money system, and they back up the money system, and so, to that degree they can be made rational sense of. However, within their own frame of reference, the operation of the murder systems appears to be completely insane after the development of weapons of mass destruction. But nevertheless, the most criminally insane people are those who currently control civilization.
Whatever moral highground we thought we had concerning illegal invasions of other countries was totally destroyed when we invaded Iraq. Putin and the rest of the world are rolling their eyes at us.
General Martin Dempsey wants to go to war? Send HIM to Ukraine on his own and point him in the right direction.
"The new Great (Threat) Game in Eurasia" by Mr. Pepe (the great one!) Escobar 3/12/14
fresh off the press... http://atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/CEN-01-120314.html
True stories that confront the Western-Ukraine-NATO-US-supported propaganda are flying around the internet.
Russia’s not standing alone in this; China’s with her and now it looks as if India may be. And now comes your latest straight-talk from Pepe, a powerful voice from the Asia Times:
“In Ukraine, the West supported an unconstitutional putsch against an elected government perpetrated, among others, by fascist/neo-nazi storm troopers (Svoboda, Right Sector) instrumentalized by US intelligence. After a Russian counterpunch, US President Barack Obama proclaimed that any referendum in Crimea would ‘violate the Ukrainian constitution and violate international law.’
“This is just the latest instance in the serial rape of ‘international law’. The rap sheet is humongous, including; NATO bombing Serbia for 78 days in 1999 to allow Kosovo to secede; the 2003 US invasion and subsequent trillion-dollar occupation and civil war creation in Iraq; NATO/AFRICOM bombing Libya in 2011 invoking R2P (‘responsibility to protect’) as a cover to provoking regime change; US investment in the secession of oil-wealthy South Sudan, so China has to deal with an extra geopolitical headache; and US investment in perennial civil war in Syria.
“Yet Moscow still (foolishly?) believes international law should be respected - presenting to the UN Security Council classified information on all Western intel/psy-ops moves leading to the coup in Kiev, including ‘training’ provided by Poland and Lithuania, not to mention Turkish intelligence involvement in setting up a second coup in Crimea. Russian diplomats called for an unbiased international investigation. That will never happen; Washington's narrative would be completely debunked. Thus a US veto at the UN.”
And here’s a footnote from a recent Global Research article:
[1] The pro EU-US putsch regime in Kiev is a product of nearly 25 years of planning and enormous funding by political agencies of the US government. According to William Blum (Anti-Empire Report#126, 03/07/2014), the self-styled National Endowment for Democracy bankrolled 65 projects involving political indoctrination and the formation of political action groups. Under-Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that the US government had spent over $5 billion dollars preparing the ground for the putsch in Kiev.

Thnx JR, your research and links are always appreciated.
JR - Fairly accurate commentary. I should say here all global leaders participated in the ass raping of the little guy. So to hell with them! My obligation is to keep my family alive and safe in what looks like our last evolutionary cycle. God bless all of you of all nationalities. Saying goodbye to 3D is just fine with me. A system based on violence to evolve may have been a necessity but now we are wasting time. A shame the likelihood of needing to evolve (with massive pain) is all but guaranteed.
Well, no better way to fundamentally transform America then to get it into a third world war with a nuclear super power.
Oh well if worse comes to worse millions will be free from mortgage payments, car payments and student loans. LOL.
Sorry, i'm tired of the drama. If they're going to do something then fucking do it.
This is pure bullshit bluster. Note that he says "if NATO obligations are triggered" - BIG IF. In other words, IF other NATO countries decide to go, we'll follow. The chances of any NATO country deciding to fight Russia is about zero - but of course that is exactly how WWI started - treaty obligations pulled armies into battle that otherwise would have been kept in their barracks. Nobody ever learns, and Generals live to see others die.
...And the politicians/oligarchs live on and enjoy the spoils.
"This time, however, the last "fig leaf" of the West has fallen for good, exposing its huge hypocrisy. While until today, operations and wars in other countries (Yugoslavia, Iraq, etc.) were taking place under the excuse of the fight against terrorism, the supposed "liberation" of people from authoritarian regimes, or, the supposed defence of human rights, there is no excuse in the case of Ukraine and mostly Crimea. The right of self-determination is not applicable in this case, according to the Western hypocrites, who activate this right only in "special" cases to serve their interests, like in the case of Kosovo."

Seems to me that the only Generals left in the Military are probably too busy picking the new drapes and twee decor for the office and the "mens" quarters...
They couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag!
Not sure about the readiness of US forces. However, I am certain the Russian resistance will likely be much greater than a few thousand taliban throwing homemade grenades.
Yes, while we would likely kick the shit out of Russia in a direct naval engagement in the Atlantic, or even in a hot war in Africa, US troops on Russian soil is a very, very different matter all together. When there are troops on Russian soil, those motherfuckers do not give up and they FIGHT. We do not want to experience a Russia with its back up against the wall. We would eventually run into issues maintaining all of our cool technological weapons, and it would turn into a grungy go for the throat on the ground brawl. Then the nukes start flying.
Wow. That [this thread] escalated quickly.
US military personnel please understand, the civilian population is fundamentally agianst any US military intervention in Ukraine. Further, please know you are only a dispensible pawn for the stateless corporape/bankster cabal motivating the destabilzation of Ukraine and intervention against Russia that can lead to world war three. US leadership is corrupt and demented, please do not support them or their agenda of enrichment for themselves and death and disease for everyone else.
When the people bercome overly restless and discontent, it's time for war. A nice distraction, perhaps helpful to the economy, and neither Russia nor the US will experience any destruction on their home turf.
"....the incursion of Russian troops into the Crimea creates risks for all the countries of Europe and NATO allies."
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 1997 a treaty was signed with the USSR, Russia & Ukraine, The Partition Treaty. Under that treaty the Russian navy is allowed up to
- 25,000 troops,
- 24 artillery systems with a caliber smaller than 100 mm,
- 132 armored vehicles, and
- 22 military planes, on Crimean territory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_Treaty_on_the_Status_and_Conditio...
Most recent news on troop deployment.
"The number of Russian troops in Crimea as of March 10, according to modest estimates, is 18,800 soldiers," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said at a briefing on Tuesday.
He said that they included 11,400 Russian Black Sea Fleet servicemen and 7,400 servicemen from the military units and associations of the Russian Armed Forces."

Obama finally gets the chance to bomb brown people AND white people!
When Obama and the Socialists are done declaring war on Russia, they can come back here and continue their war on us.
Did this guy just escape a Fancy Dress Party in the geriatric ward?
So, the better question is: How does staging the overthrow of the legitimate government of the Ukraine and then creating a Kosovo style war around it benefit the progressive (communist) agenda? Because, after all, isn't that what these globalism initiatives, including the elimination of both inalienable and constitutional rights, the progression of false flags, resource control, and debt slavery are all about?
Global domination, THEN WHAT? A new Utopia of violence. The price tag isn't worth the sacrifice, friends.
Then an attempt to control collapse through the mass murder of the majority of the human population during the 21st Century.
legitimate and government do not belong in the same sentence.
So let me get this straight. The US is willing to back up Ukrain Military wise so that Ukrain can do what it has decided to do which is to join Russia. Where is the conflict?
We need to bring Democracy [and the oversupply of GM cars] to them.
I am so poor that I have to watch CSPAM feeds.

Obama: "This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility"
Medvedev: "And we will have more flexibility after the Olympics"
I suppose the general isn't saying anything we didn't already know was coming. these the pathetic attempts at diplomacy felt from the start largely just for show, without any real style or substance but necessary steps none the less I guess.
had to go through the motions right?
it has become obvious that Russia never believed that the west was sincere in wanting a diplomatic solution, from day one Moscow has been preparing for a large scale war, you don't put that kind of effort, resources and money into a dress rehearsal if you're not certain the show is going to go live. in fact they have been prepping for this confrontation for well over a year now, as if they new sooner or later they would be put in a position where it's either fight or accept NATO dominance on their own front door.
now here we are, what happens next could effect the lives of us all.
the real danger in this situation is that regardless of intent the escalation away from diplomacy, be it genuine or otherwise, is very real and with the comments of general Dempsey, obviously accelerating. once this process, this acceleration is set in motion it is very difficult to reverse, history shows us that.
we could very well wind up with a case of "the choice making you" in this situation.
It's more a fight for allies at this point. Will the EU wake up? Do they realize that they are the land bridge between the US and Russia? Sure, technology allows flight, but the law of gravity is a bitch, Europe.
Dempsey, you are a tart.
1. you don't have military options vs. Russia going beyond Napoleon's or Hitler's
2. you didn't really say anything because Russia doesn't threaten "NATO allies"
3. your veterans have already identified HOPE & CHANGE for the USSA:

Mr Nobel Peace Prize needs a war to distract the sheeple from the economic piles of shit they are now knee deep in.....
Remember how GREEN JOBS were going to save the world and make our economy better? Socialists have accellerated the economic decay of America, but stupid people still vote for it, or vote for a 3rd Party which is still a vote for Socialism!
Even Ron Paul has said MULTIPLE TIMES now that libertarians are stupid to vote 3rd Party!
America will never be changed via the democrat Party, and voting third party ensures that Socialism wins, and America loses.
Some people never learn.
Hoax and Chains is what the sheeple demanded!

Fuck Ukraine and Fuck you Dempsey. You want to help them, then pick up a gun and get your wrinkled old ass over there.
Col. Nathan R. Jessep: I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to
Here you are Mr Dempsey, heres a novel idea, seeing as you are an old man whos probably never held a battle rifle, nows the time to pick one up, and your sons, and at your age probable grandsons, go on you and the boss idiots that want this shit go and do it then.
If push comes to shove this time old man, and I suspect deep down you already know this, you WILL be going first, you, your kith and kin, and all those of the psychophants you are lead by and obey, this time WE, the prolitariat will sit this out.
I am fucking sick of the outright criminality of the insane wankers who run run the West, yous fuckers couldnt organize a piss up in a brewery and you expect US daft cunts to go fight for GS and northrop weapons?? Never mind wall street and cast iron pensions and bonuses on the backs of us Plebs??
Go fuck yourselves, you are far more important in your imbecilic heads than you will ever be to a simple man on the street. You will unleash the dogs of war you daft fucking twats, indeed you will, but it will be us fuckers that will see for you nation wrecking cunts before one poor bloke on the streets of Ukraine.
And I think you know we will. We have simply had enough. You have lost all moral and public approval, all rights for legitamate governance, you have been seen through. These banktrupt nations you supposedly speak for cant, and wont take much more.
You will fight and die long before me, mine, my friends, my neighbours and indeed my whole community.
Damn you all, damn each and every one of you swines to the pits of hell. WE the FUCKING people deseve better than this.

Exactly.
It was the man determined to keep America out of wars of aggression, Ron Paul, who garnered greatest financial support from active US military members during the 2012 presidential campaign.
The ArmyTimes reported in February 2012 that “Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is, by far, getting more military campaign contributions than anyone else in the 2012 field.”
A review of Federal Election Commission donor records showed that President Obama, who as a U.S. Senator had voted against war with Iraq, ranked second.
It was Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor running for the Republican presidential nomination who made it clear he would back all Israeli attacks on Iran, that ranked last among the three in military donations, collecting a mere $22,753 in 55 donations.

WTF ?
Political pussy General in an F-Troop uniform. I do not think Putin gives a fuck as to what he says.
I heard earlier today that one of Putin's aides had commented that he is incandescent with rage that he is being treated like a Gaddafi or Saddam figure...I have to admit that it seems to me that has been the case,
However to me he appears the only world leader out there with any sense...the West's reporting has been utterly ridiculous in its bias
I hope it motivates Russia and China to get BRICS moving to a common reserve currency, and exclude the USD$ from their transactions. MOVE IT BOYS!

You're real tough, fella, seeing as how Ukraine has said that its not going to respond militarily to Russia, so nothing to "back up" there, and other than a large order of white flags from France, doesn't look like Europe is doing a whole lot to get prepared to tangle with the Bear either.
Unfortunately, when western Ukraine mercenaries start killing and raping Russian speaking eastern Ukranians, the great leader, VP, will come to the rescue and save the Russian people from their enemies. An epic story about to unfold, Bob.
Right on that one, but for o stepping in to call time out & let Crimea vote..
When asked who was willing to put up with a cold winter at home for the privilege of fighting or even sanctioning the invasion of a soon-to-be-reunited Soviet satellite, Europeans everywhere begin whistling and looking at the ceiling and the floor. And, good for them - it's none of their business either.
TPTB that control USA foreign policy have been asking for this brewing fight for too long now. Bases all over the world, exporting our inflation, warring against all who disregard our monetary policies, treaties in place to protect almost 1/2 the globe as if attacked ourselves, ...
Our politicians will not stop this unless we the people make them do it.

got that right Bob. This deal is already cut. The first clue was the aside regarding O's election. quid pro quo ...the Olympics. NBC's already re-positioning the wording .New media buzzwords will emerge on what to call this deal as the focus groups test out.
This clown is playing US bad cop. O will come in as the great oracle he is ,and convince the world.... that Crimea needs to vote what's best for Crimea.
We should have seen it coming when 4th place US championship skater-babe was promoted to the team on sponsor/nbc exemption vs qualify.
next already.....this shit's not about to get real. Russia's about to get strategic real estate via a well orchestrated sham. O pics up some GDP when there is not enough world growth to go around....

The West doesn't want competition from BRICS. They want to destoy it. That's the simple reason. Kill your competition.

Woot! Avtomat Bitches... No seriously, that was a high school in Connecticut.
No seriously, the little girl in braids? This is her granny. I want to follow The Mocha Fucking Messiah into a ground war in Russia. What could go wrong?
Thanks for the video! I can see that I need more practice with my AK.
The recent almost hot war in Syria with USA forces explicitly, openly involved was deferred indefinitely because the US Congress got a earful from Americans all over the world.

Arguably most important event of 2013...US President begs for war on TV but US population says NO. I can't recall this ever happening before in US history.
This time Americans yell "HET!" (pronounced 'nyet" of course)
We are in the fourth transformation of human communication...all three previous transformations led to complete legitimacy crisis of institutions...
Enlightenments are wonderful...and bloody.
Crimea 4 Syria and Assad. Trade Done, Troops home. At least the U.S. had the politeness to wait until after the Games. What a Joke.
The war maniacs in the west have underestimated the awakening taking place. I hope they continue to do so.
I, for one, am confident in our current leadership.
BWAHAHAHAHA! I make myself laugh...
Dempsey is insane.

Putin wont be Ghadafid or Hussiened because he has Nukes. not imaginary WMD. They can huff and puff all they wnat this will hopefully turn out to be nothing when all is said and done and Russia will get her way Ukriane will be part of her again.
Option B is WWIII.
Dont like it dont want it. But with the orchestrated Coup not going as planned this might end up going fullscale war. God, Great Spirit Help please prevent this.
Ukraine is not part of NATO. There is no responsibility to respond. Thanks for the piece of yellow journalism ZH. If Russia attacks the Czech Republic we ll be ready "to respond."
I'll huff & I'll puff - what minute, gay & trans & lesssy military parade dancers to the Crime eeee aaaa. Taht will scare the chit out of em
US prepared for military action over Ukariane - will drone a few Somalis.
Of course the US military is ready. They are always ready to shit stir and then get mud kicked in their face. The so called global cop is now the global gangsters/banksters. They were ready for Iraq, Afgan, Eygpt etc. Look how well that turned out. Disasater is an understatement for the folks on the street. Great for the drug lords and weapons sales. Patience is running thin around the world with regards to Washingtons complete incompetence and idiotic behaviour.
oh great... and of course MARTIN DEMPSEY WILL BE LEADING safely FROM THE REAR WITH OBAMA AND COMPANY...... Dempsey. Clapper, Brennan, Kerry, Hagel all pathetic yesmen for the "community organizer" busy buying pink shit at the GAP... We have had enough of the bendover boy who gave up all the ablood sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan.. Send your fucking daughters you cocksucker.
"...because there are ethnic enclaves all over Eastern Europe and the Balkans," Dempsey said.
There are also ethnic enclaves in Detroit. Since when is this a justification for war on the far side of the world?
A group of more screwed up hacks have NEVER been in charge of a country or military.
NO to Ukraine, No to manipulation by external and internal enemies. Look around you! Are you all out of your minds?
ANY, General, politico or lesser asshole who want's "Military action" in Europe, again, needs to lead from the front, with their offsprings right behind them.
Of course the US military is ready. But is it capable? When i think of the US military juggernaut i think of that punch drunk boxer making a comeback because he needs the money. At some point in time during the first 30 seconds of the opening round, you know in your gut this isn't a man fighting to win, it's a man fighting for a paycheck.
'Murica bitches. Ain't nothing like it.
Lets hope the Gen's counterparts have more sense thanPutin. And maybe this is a strong message for av real military buildup including updates to nuclear weapons and missles in Europe.
