    Are you shocked, if you aren't buying from Russia you have to buy from someone since domestic production isn't allowed by the US government.

    Which is nothing out of the ordinary for the region. The state doesn't represent them in any real way, why should the soldiers give a crap which side wins.

    Obama initially called isis that and said they were not a threat.

    are we referring to Iran or our own government? Because the group that became isis was part of the “moderate” rebels we funded because Assad said no. And once the “Jv” team started making a mess that made the US and Europe look stupid, we funded al nursa an al quaeda affiliate.

    Actually yes, the trump sanctions pretty much crashed their economy, they were even having trouble getting food, much less the material to build a nuke. But yeah with fracking we are energy independent, so this isn’t our problem.

    Well yeah it isn’t like Russia is able to use them themselves right now, so they need testing data, ideally from being used against a force that is technologically advanced. So they probably supplied some to the,, for that purpose.

    The thing is the US isn’t quite as good at it, the best run one was Afghanistan, and we all remember how that one turned out.

    Why would they be? They know how to play that game very well, besides their public doesn’t care if they intervene directly, which limits what the US can do, since even the warhawks don’t want a nuclear war.

    Calm down you are in a potential conflict area already I somehow doubt you would be shifted to another.

    Yes, a proxy conflict, not a direct one. We fight and aid one faction, they do the same, and no nukes fly. They invade a region directly, we help indirectly and vice versus.

    Not likely, during Bushes term Russia invaded Georgia, the US did nothing more than say a few strong words. During Obama’s terms he tried to reset relations complete with a hilariously sad prop. And then Russia invaded Crimea. The uniparty is easy to deal with because while they will happily...

    Probably not, one is enough, and Bolton is way too recent, if he is invited even the twitter left who think Biden is their great white hope, would have to realize what actually happened.

    Ahh so the standard uniparty kabuki. He is a major Warhawk, think Bolton. The difference is trump kept Bolton on a leash due to caring about popularity with his base, that isn’t likely with Cheney.

    Have... have you never heard Cheney’s opinion, I don’t think there is a country in the Middle East he doesn’t want to invade.

    Since Cheney is Bidens foreign policy advisor, how much does a tomahawk cost?

    India as well, if only due to being the first stop on the way out of the gulf. also the conflict between Sunni and Shia will heat up, as the us isn’t there to make them play nice and the “civility“ we have seen in the Middle East for the past few decades will end,

    Wouldn’t work, the soviets were recognized as a. Super Power, the only way they could try that is if they were dumb enough to fish in waters protected by the US, they weren’t that stupid, and thus far the Chinese haven’t been either.

    The Chinese overfished to the point that their waters are virtually a dead zone, so now they try to steal everyone else’s fish https://qz.com/948980/china-has-fished-itself-out-of-its-own-waters-so-chinese-fishermen-are-now-sticking-their-rods-in-other-nations-seas/

    The thing is the Saudis dont want the fight in Yemen to end, Yemen can't hurt them, and it works as great live fire training for their military, that is all it is training.

    No because the UK always ensured it benefited from it, most notably the British did not protect their rivals, The US protected everyone’s trade, for the sake of a global order.
