Obummer doesnt like Mutually Assured Destruction. He is going for MANS

Mutually Assured Naughty Step

MAD doesn't work with liberals like Obama, Putin isn't afraid of a strongly worded letter

What we need is a leader crazy enough to use nukes, then Putin might rein back his options

In the old days, countries used to have a 'sphere of interest'. that was because they were expanding
When they were shrinking, that became the 'National Interest'

The fact that Russia now has a sphere of interest is a bit worrisome. Russia has large sub populations all over the place, it wont be difficult to get them to agitate for Russian intervention to protect them.
