And what happens when Obama jettisons international law? Russia, China and Iran then do likewise...

Iran closes the straits of Hormuz, china issues an ultimatum to Taiwan, Russia deploys an air defence regiment to Damascus and shoves Three armoured divisions towards the Polish border and goes to defcon one. the Black Sea fleet closes the Turkish shore. The Russian supply routes out of Afghanistan are closed and the Taliban get supplied Russian MANPADS.

Are any of you aware from Wikileaks that Americas air superiority is contingent on an absence of MANPADS in terrorist hands? are you aware that any chunk of MANPADS is worth $3000 in cash, no questions asked, at any American establishment around the world?

As for Russian gas supplies to Western Europe, are you aware that the same hip pocket crap about economics deterring war was hauled out before both WWI AND WWII?

"The Russians, Germans French etc. will never go to war because it doesn't make economic sense, their economies are entangled, blah blah" guess what?


There is a great deal China and Russia can do, or as you should know if any of you are commissioned, your charges can make more trouble for you, than you can for them. God help America if they go through with this.
