    The Russians are rebuilding, re-arming with petro-dollars. We have pushed them too far. NATO has proven to be a "paper tiger" and Putin knows this. The tripwire will be Ukraine, where there is a large Russian pop. in E. Ukraine. Wat will NATO do? NOTHING. Iraq has drained the US military, and in A-stan only a few members actually fight. Germany, Italy, Spain refuse to deploy the number of troops needed to conduct offensive ops there. They won't fight. We better re-think the missle defense system in E, Europe. If the Russians cross into Ukraine, only the UK and France [yes, the French] will fight alongside us. Air power is the key, but it does not take and hold territory. We are taking on too much, with too little.
