Putin knows that the he cannot defeat the west in a conventional war, and he isn't crazy enough to commit suicide by going nuke, unless their homeland is attacked. He definitely isn't going to risk WW3 over Syria.
They are most likely using this whole situation to try to get intel on our weapons and to test our resolve. Something we haven't had in a long time.

Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about!

This is where you miscalculate. I am confident that he will press that button under narrow circumstances. I have an idea how he will do it, his problem will be our submarines. Putin can actually attack our country by surprise, but the big issue will be the submarines that will retaliate. We have enough SLBM with MIRV's to wipe out Russia and China at the same time.

We are playing a dangerous game in my opinion.

So, you really think that Putin is a suicidal mad man?
I don't, I think that he wants to live and for his country to live a long life. He will though play games to play on people's fears to get his way.

Suicidal? No, but definitely trying to find a weakness to wipe us out. We are boxing Russia into a corner. Has strong ambitions to restore the former Soviet Union land mass.

If we no longer show the weakness that became the norm with past presidents, Putin will back down, and Trump is working on solutions that will give Russia chances to "save face" but still do the right thing. There are hints of this in the news if you look carefully.

I haven't read much of this thread, but it seemed to have gone on a digression about religion . .

which is a shame, because it was getting really interesting, but you all don't want to mention the obvious, maybe you're all too scared - or too brainwashed. I can't decide. . .

What do you want to know, ask questions! Typically threads on RR will run off the original subject. It doesn't bother me, I enjoy everyone's input.

Scared of Nukes falling on my children, you are absolutely correct! Nukes on me personally? I am headed to my real home.

Basically, some of my rants express tiresome. I am tired and sick of evil. There isn't any other way to express it.

If you want to know more about military hardware or tactics, I am an open book for the most part. I just don't know AREA 51 and super top secret technology.

military hardware and tactics are all good to know - for the soldiers and the generals etc. . . and maybe interesting for the civilians to hear.

But I tell you, what is more divisive? A dishonest media who poison the minds of the people whose interests it claims to serve? A banking system that is rigged to somehow serve different interests? A government NOT listening to its own people?

Military action is just the brawn, the brute force. It's the shadowy brains behind that which decides the course of events . .

Fed Res Act 1913

Fake New or Propaganda media

Gov't has their own agenda and it is not the American people. We are already considered terrorists for not shutting up and towing the line.

Correct.

Now I know most of you might not want to hear this: Russia and Syria are NOT our enemy.

Putin is an honourable man. It makes no sense that Assad would gas his own people when he has clearly won (he took back 99% of the territory he had lost). It makes no sense for the US, France and the UK to strike these targets due to unfounded allegations. In fact it's illegal. I'm only thankful that very few lives have been affected. I will pray for the Syrian people because they are the innocent party in all this.

The enemy is somewhere else, and I think deep down you all know who they are. . .

I can tell you from my country. Most Americans are asleep, as long as it doesn't affect them personally. They give no consideration of the situation. It is really sad on many levels, the insides of my country are being gutted out.

Sir,

It's because they've played you - and that needs to change. You ALL should wake up to their plans and take back your country. But they hide their motives very well - but no matter how deftly they move they give themselves away by their actions.

I'm heartbroken for Western countries and Western civilisation. You are being gutted out from the inside because it's in their interests to do so - to satisfy their own ego and supremacist lust for power. All of this is shrouded in liberalism, political correctness, progressivism, multiculturalism. Things that the general population never wanted to have foisted onto them - and would always refuse it if they were given the choice.

Getting others to do the dirty work and play off all sides against each other is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Trust me: I'm angry, very angry. And so should all of you be. But we should all be constructive in that anger in making changes to our countries in ways that we see the enemy within. . .

72 hrs has come and gone. I might have missed it, but ww3 has not broken out. Then again, I might have missed it. I will check it again. Nope, no WW3 maybe next year. da da da da dats all folks.

Yes indeed. Had a great weekend with my daughters, went to the Aquarium, flew kites, built a model plane and Estes Rocket, and took the 10 year old birthday girl to see her first PG movie today.....Rampage. What a hoot.

Did I mention I didn't see ONE mushroom cloud?

Glad you got a great weekend! Maybe we will get another weekend? Our luck has held out for 7 years of this, might last 1 more weekend.

I just laugh when ever I hear the religious nutball end of the world garbage. Another 24 has passed. World still here. Check.

The world will end...when, I don't know and really, not that big on my concern list. I can't do anything about it, so why let it bother me?

MIB says there is always an Arkellian Death cruser, or a Cegenbrali Explodo ray Destroyer stopping by in high earth orbit. Happens almost every week. They show up, make some threatening sounding noises, MIB piles up a few cases of beer and cheetos for them to beam up, then they chill out and go away.

hell the end of the world almost happened yesterday.
