Question

Should The U.S. downsize troops in Afghanistan and Iraq in order to prepare for future threats such as Russia?

Answer 1

The US should get totally out of the middle east...the sooner the better.  This entire conflict is about oil, oil pipelines and making money for those that own it and/or control it.  The Oil Mafia simply can't let go of this cash cow no matter how many people get killed.  The Russians want to control the oil pipelines that run through Georgia, the same as George Bush's Junta want to control middle east oil.  We need to move on to 21st century technology ASAP even if that means going to fuel rationing for a few years.

Answer 2

No, we need to bomb regions in Pakistan that are safe havens for Terrorist and the Taliban. Eventually withdraw from Iraq, and increase the size of our active military.

Answer 3

Mathew H is on crack.  Nobody would win in a war between the US and Russia.  Neither one of us has the capacity to attack each other.  If we tried to invade Russia, we wouldn't last very long.  We can barely handle poorly trained Iraqi guerrillas.  With that said, Russia could never attack us, either.  Russia is also not that stupid.  They aren't dumb enough to attack us on our soil. The world would be against them in a heart beat.  As far as military spending goes, how much do you think terrorists spend on military equipment compared to the US?  It's not the equipment you buy, it's how you use it.  Russia is no joke, but I wouldn't be afraid of them attacking us any time soon.

Answer 4

HAHAHA.   Russia wouldnt stand a chance against america in todays world..... EVER.  America alone spends more on its military than the next top 25 countries combined.  Russia can barely keep its military running as it is.  People need to stop freaking out that russia conquered georgia's army.  georgia's ENTIRE army has only 18,000 soldiers.  Thats pathetic.  trust me, no country (or 5 countries for that matter) could take on America in a conventional war.  It simply is not possible.  And im not being a some ignorant patriot or anything, thats just the truth.    And then america has 5x more allies than russia.  Basically all of europe will side with America over russia.

Answer 5

We should finish off the little village of brown people before moving on to another war. One at a time people, come on.

Answer 6

The president of USA is oiling his misile.

....while Russia is overextended in Georigia, this would be an oppprtuniy of a lifetime to crush the ever-lovin-bones or those shit0ite precepts of bigomy to a mushy oily spot on some anonymous siudewalk in h**l!
