The longer we wait, the messier it's going to be.
Besides, the Russians and Chinese aren't stupid. They'd back off if put under military pressure from the western world. For a while, at least.
China isn't the only nation we can buy things from, and the Russian military is still trying to cycle out old Soviet gear.
The US has the largest military in the world, and one of the midst heavily armed populations.
Not to mention everything our allies have.
no but China is a big bloody part of it. And while Russia have lost a lot of power, you've got to give it to them that they're stubborn as hell. Plus the fact that if one country were to try to force them into submission, it's likely that more will be forced to follow. If America advanced, Britain would definitely be thrown in (we throw ourselves in every conflict. Every. Conflict) and everybody will be forced to pick sides. Not to mention the fact that a lot of countries allied with America and Britain rely on Russia and/or China heavily in some cases- I know Britain does because the main thing we were worried about was losing resources from Russia.
They can't be brought down as simply as you think, and while countries like America have allies, it doesn't mean those allies want to be sucked into a war.
It's funny how 3 different stories are told in the media. I watch the german/international news, the russian ones and the ukraine ones.. just 3 different stories on every story that is published.. really funny somehow and really sad, you don't know what to belief :-/
It's funny how much people underestimate the military power of the US.
.
For the past 50 years, the US has been pouring every dollar it can into it's military, it's literally preparing for a war with every other country at the same time.
.
If China and Russia team up against the US, it doesn't matter that they have more money, because it takes time to turn money into military power. USA don't have money because they already turned it all into military power in advance.
.
Every country in the world could team up against the US in a war WHILE THE US IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CIVIL REVOLUTION and they'd still win. Because that's EXACTLY what the US military has been prepared for.
I think if EVERY country ganged up on the US it'd be very difficult for America to win at LEAST. I will admit, they are one of, if not the most powerful country on the planet- but most of that goes into their nuclear weaponry and their alliances and wealth. The US is a first world country- they're far from poor. They're allied with other first world countries that are either rich, powerful or influential such as Britain. The fact is, I think America would put up a very good fight and would definitely bring down a lot of other countries before it was beaten- but if they're as powerful as they say you are, they wouldn't have any worries because anything they need could be taken from a weaker country. They don't do that because they don't WANT a war on their hands- that wouldn't be an issue if they could win so easily. Remember how the Vietcong, UNOFFICIAL soldiers, managed to force America out of South Vietnam without much issue and rarely had to fight them face-to-face.
Well, actually the deal with the Vietcong had less to do with military power, and more to do with the willingness, or lack thereof, of the American people to continue supporting the war.
And just in case that's exactly what you just said, and I simply misinterpreted your post, my bad.
An in-depth strategic analysis made by some of the best strategic tacticians of the world determined that a war involving USA vs The World would most likely result in a draw.
That is going to get hairy, but quick.
China might see that alignment as a cue to start talking about Taiwan or those stupid, uninhabited islands they are in a pissing contest with Japan over.
Kind of unrelated but please can people just understand what a REFERENDUM is?? Which is what the people of Crimea had and the whole place celebrated when they were joined back onto Russia. There are also so many nazis now in place in the Ukrainian government and far more working in the army while civilians are being killed. I sincerely hope the UK or America does not get involved(if they aren't already) by supplying weapons and whatnot after the ceasefire has already taken place and the people of Ukraine may just be able to get on their feet again.
Well, nazis, not as in German Hitler WW2 Nazis, but narcissistic people, as in the real meaning of the word nazi. And yes there are many of those in Ukraine, and in Russia too.. try to be black there :D really funny! It's funny how everything not american news like, is "tin foil hat". Brainwashed until nothings left.
Nazi isn't synonymous with narcissist.
It's shorthand for National Socialist Party of Germany.
The rest of your comment is illegible to me, so I can't fight or agree with any points you may have presented.
"It's shorthand for National Socialist Party of Germany." <-- don't know where you got that but that's just not true.. It's just a shortened version for "Someone who supports of Nazism".. nothing to do with Germany at all, except that it's commonly used for the german nazis.. and the rest is illegible? try to turn your resolution up?
The referendum was a sham. Thousands of ethnic Russians retired from Moscow and the military to the Crimean Peninsula. You did not need to be a citizen to vote in the referendum, just a resident (or visitor). The Russians voted themselves to annex much of Ukraine. The Ukrainian citizens have pushed back, too little too late. Thousands will die, Russia will control most or all of the Ukraine when it is over. Let this be a lesson to Americans who want to give full rights of citizenship to foreigners.
I mean, really, 6 news shows within an hour here, that I watch, had STORIES about the dress. It was weird. I kept fast forwarding through them. And they they also had *teasers* about the dress story. I mean, really?!?!
I say, we put boots on the ground for Ukraine.

I'm british, and "hate" america as much as the next person. I'm stating facts. Do your research.
