A Russian victory in Syria, a Europe that seems to be trying to commit suicide by sanctioning energy imports, and a lost war in Ukraine. <br /><br />Given the unrivaled US string of successes since the Iranian coup in the 1950's this seems to be in line. <br />jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-57949024287315811662022-04-08T18:55:51.210-03:002022-04-08T18:55:51.210-03:00Washington's Playbook for Destabilizing Russia...<i>Washington's Playbook for Destabilizing Russia - Part 2 - The Military Options</i><br /><br />As mentioned before this is the next thing to a declaration of war. Russia may not have been really happy about this. The writers also seem oblivious to the fact that it is no longer 19970 when the USA is the dominant economic power.<br /><br />Watching the hysteria that we saw when Russia sent a couple of bombers or a few technicians to Venezuela was reveling. The Rand "analysts"' to be charitable, do not seem to understand that their major targets such as China and Russia or Iran have no incentive to sit passively by as the USA attacks them. Saddam Hussein did this and where is he now? <br /><br />Humm, I wonder how much time and money it would take to revive the violent side of the Puerto Rico Independence Movement? <br /><br />A couple of nuclear capable Russian aircraft in Venuzuela was enough to throw people in the the USA into panic. What happens when the Chinese gets berthing rights in Venuzuela and the Russians have a squadron or two of Tu-160 aircraft just outside of Caracas? <br /><br />The Rank Organization is almost as incompetent as the current denizens of the State Department whose level of incompetence is mind-boggling. Both seem to be in some fantasy world. <br /> jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.com
