I agree. You don't have to drop nukes to be respected. Just them knowing that you won't hesitate to light their asses up is enough to keep them in line, for the most part.
When have we ever, in the history of the United States of America, shown the Russians that we wouldn't hesitate "to light their asses up". I'd say that our bilateral relations (and the broader implications on all foreign policy since WWII) have been defined by the understanding that we would very much hesitate to light them up...and they us.
Interested in an answer.

I'm not only talking about Russia. But, Putin has been making a mockery of Obama for a long time. Please, tell me how effective our foreign policy is right now?
Like I said, we can't control our own borders. It's a free for all right now, and it won't be long before terrorists from all over take advantage of that. Just my opinion.
And if you don't think that Reagan is 1000X the leader that Obama is, then we will have to agree to disagree.

Kate Obenshain and O'Reilly hammer the Little Idiot on the downed aircraft - and paint a stark contrast to Reagan in '83: LINK

Actually, the soviets admitted they screwed up once Gorbachev got elected.
