Is the US stupid enough to go to war with Russia? ?

Question

The US says the missile shield its sticking in Poland is to defend against Iran, yet they are on about invading Iran anyhow and they dont even have nuclear weapons. Futhermore Europe isnt bothered about Iran but yet the US thinks they now need to protect the world do they?. If thats the case why dont they put missiles next to South Korea as North Korea has nukes?. No its about gaining influence in East Europe while trying to encroach upon every part of Russian policy. The Yanks have always wanted to gain influence in the Caucasus so what better way then sticking an American friendly puppet government in the area then give them permission to bomb the Russian friendly enclaves as to allow NATO domination. NATO is a relic of the Cold War but yet its gaining bases and Nations all over the world. Perhaps they want another Cold War as they seem to be wanting it more and more. The US does not seem to be happy unless its going to war with somebody, the only difference is that nobody else is allowed to go to war, only the US. How long until the US becomes another Nero thinking they can do what they want while ignoring everything around them burning. The US is destroying itself at a huge rate at the moment what with huge third world immigration and a huge federal deficit. The bubble is already bursting but i guess they want to take everybody down with them.

Iran havent got any missiles capable of carrying nuke warheads as they dont have the technology. US spy satellites can see exactly what is going on in Iran like they can everywhere. They just want to dominate the world and Russia

Answer 1

I hope Russia is not stupid enough to try a war with us.

Answer 2

I'm afraid that some of those in power are exactly that stupid and it scares the living h**l out of me!

Answer 3

Any country/leader that wants to go to war is stupid.

The Cuban Missile Crisis had Russians planting nuclear warheads less than 100 miles from the U.S. Now the Russians are getting an attitude about Poland. It's another example of a double standard.

With our troops so widely dispersed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all over the world I wouldn't worry about who is going to win or lose as much as how to avoid such a war. Russia has a very paranoid government that will go to the greatest lengths to prove a point. Take a good look at their history compared to the United States. We never had a Stalin, Lenin, or an Ivan the Terrible. We never executed 20 million of our own citizens for a political agenda.

After all, the people who suffer the most are the soldiers and civilians. At least the politicians have places to run to and hide.

If you take a good long look at history, any country that has been on top has been hated by everyone else. The Romans, Mongolians, Spaniards, Germany, even the English.

No matter who starts it, we're all going to lose.

Answer 4

Russia would be stupid enough to go to war with the United States as much as it is vice versa, thousands - hundreds of thousands of civillians would be killed. Whomever makes the first attack will be the one hated.

I like Russia and America so don't get me wrong.

Answer 5

The question should be, "Are the Russians stupid enough...."

Answer 6

Unlike the United States, Russia has serious gaps in its ballistic missile early warning radar system. They wouldn't see our first strike coming and would have nothing left to counter attack with. What few SSBN submarines they have at sea would be sunk as well.

As for South Korea, we do have missile defense systems there in the form or Patriot Pac-3 and Aegis warships offshore with the Standard missiles. The type of ballistic missiles launched from the North fly much slower than the type from Iran that the defensive missiles in Poland are designed to defeat.

Yes, the United States does have debt, but most western economies do as well. Some are far worse off. If you actually did some research on GDP/debt on these countries you'd be suprised. At least we're honest enough to put it on the table instead of hiding it from our population/world.

The US is spying on everything! The US does not want to dominate Russia they want to end Russia! You do not understand the Americans and their ways! Russia causes to many problems and they kill people for no good reason why for land? And power? Come on give me a break. It's time Russia gets knocked down a few pegs...

If the US does attack they won't have time to do anything or be able to contact anyone. They pretty much would not even know what hit them.

If the US attacks it will not be told up front and it would be when you least exspect it.

Answer 8

As much as some people want it to happen, I don't think it will happen and I have trust in both the Russian and American people to stop it if it ever got close to it.

We were able to avoid war with Russia for over 40 years during the cold war when they were a bigger threat. I'm sure we can get past our differences.

Everything going on today is just a power play and posturing. Nothing serious will come out of it ( hopefully )

Answer 9

Russia would be stupid to pick a fight with the U.S. (and vice versa, I suppose), because both sides would end up with serious losses no matter who starts it. Also, shut up with your tirade about the U.S., you obviously don't live here, and base your opinion off of the media and your own biased view. Also, I wasn't aware you were an Intelligence specialist who had access to spy satellites that can confirm the presence, or absence, of warheads. Until you get your facts straight and speak with more credential, cease and desist, please!

Answer 10

Russia would be fools to try and start a war with us.

Why are you saying we want world domination? If it weren't for us you would be speaking German. Obviously you are not American and do not understand our ways.

Answer 11

Robert Kennedy wasn't happy when the soviet union tried to put missiles in Cuba, was he? so why does Bush think Russia will be content to have American missiles in Poland? I know that if I was the Russian President, I wouldn't! Bush must have a death wish, he's playing with fire and dragging us into it with him!
