War in Europe is not a hysterical idea
Sure, AA is a front for the Polish government, a mouthpiece for her husband, the Polish Foreign Minister.
Still, the questions need to be asked.
What if Putin decides the risk of nuclear war is slight, even if, and maybe especially if, Russia uses nukes in Poland or elsewhere?
If war broke out in Europe, again, would the US be crazy enough to jump into a European war for the third time?
I think we would jump in.
O is the least hawkish of the office-holding, DC Democrats and even he has already said the US will honor its Article V commitments to the Baltic States, which are NATO members.
All the more so as, since the end of Soviet Communism, the NATO countries have relied more, not less, on US guarantees, at our own instigation.
And nearly all Republicans are more hawkish than the Democrats.
You want to be indispensable?
Be careful what you wish for.
Would jumping into this war require an unheard of regime of press control and suppression of dissent here at home?
Yes.
