- jonnybgood 6y agoThat is absolutely not realistic.
- encryptluks2 6y agoWhy not?
- pjc50 6y agoMan has quite a lot of security against on-the-ground "deniable" attacks. Then you have the question of whether the surviving second in command decides to just eat the loss and surrender his country to the United States without firing a shot, or .. fire a shot. The bare minimum is probably the televised execution of all US embassy staff in Russia; the maximum retaliation is, of course, nuclear war.
- encryptluks2 6y agoWe're already at war with Russia, it is just a cold war involving cyberattacks and attacks on the US election system. With Russia moving troops to the border of Ukraine they are going to keep testing the US until we are forced to act. Better be on the preemptive.
- mekkkkkk 6y ago> until we are forced to act Are you suggesting that the Kremlin wants to escalate into full scale war with the US?
- encryptluks2 6y agoI think they will work to destroy the US from within as much as possible until it is entirely possible for them to destabilize the US to the point that they spark a civil war. This last election was just a preview in my opinion.
- lostmsu 6y agoGive US people some credit. I believe the White House event cleared minds of many right-wingers in regards to election rigging.
- encryptluks2 6y agoWe shall see, but I think the left/right paradigm is something that has only gotten worse through time we need ranked choice voting an more participation from third-parties or we'll quickly end up right back where we were.
- bloak 6y agoTaking out the Archduke Franz Ferdinand went well, didn't it? That wasn't even done by another major power, I think. (I'm no good at history.) Presumably there's a reason why major countries don't usually murder the heads of state of other major countries. I imagine it has something to do the military having standing orders to retaliate in such cases.
