What about the South China Sea? Does the US have an interest there?


Couple dead Americans. Already have nearby assets. We are spending money there anyway. This is an opportunity for actual use of some assets for a decent reason. Also practice for these personnel. Some real world practice in search and recovery in the most extreme conditions.

FWIW, this chest beating between us and Russia is something many of us on here experienced in our early lives. Putin reminds me of the Russian leaders back in the 60s and 70s, probably even longer.

This deal with Russia is going to draw out longer and longer. Won't be solved anytime soon, imo. Putin isn't making all this ruckus just to fold and go back home. He will not retreat if shite is smeared on his face.

Invading a region of a country, don't care if it use to be part of the USSR or not, building up troops along the Ukraine border under the guise of "exercises", forfeiting their seat on the G8 council and whatever else I've left off is not indicative of someone thumping their chest.

He has a plan. This was not done on a whim by him.
