.He could also get us all killed, but I know he's smarter than that.
there is always this thinking, we should not provoke russia....do you think russia cares it it provokes the US on a daily basis?
It's to Putin's benefit to act in an ostentatious fashion. I'm not sure what we get out of the posturing. Most other world leaders could be cowed into backing down and I could understand that being the goal, but I don't exactly see it happening in Russia's case.
Posturing? What about protecting our citizens? So it's now open season on Americans now by Russia? What's the point of even having a government if it won't protect us?
