And, just like that, that unspoken angst of growing up during the Cold War creeps back into my life. This is all bluster, but I don't see our feckless leader capable of doing more than scolding Putin. Can you imagine war with Russia? China would certainly attack Taiwan if they were ever going to...everywhere would erupt against US interests. How should we respond?
Do we do this, "We want to remind Mr. Putin that we are the most powerful nuclear nation AND we are the only one to have used them against an enemy."
Or this, "Mr. Putin should remember that our submarine fleet could destroy the Russian oil economy in an afternoon."
Or, what we'll probably get, "The United States of America strongly protests this violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and insists that the Russian government return its troops to the pre-2014 borders."
Good hell, I wish Romney were President right now.
