@cicerone imposter,
I hate to point out the obvious, but since Snowden handed over on a silver platter all the Order of Battle plans, every intercept point, and revealed exactly where all the US and NATO partners are and the size and the capacity of forces, I think it's bad timing.
Russia still has nuclear weapons, so do we, any suggestions on how you think the West should proceed? I think the US and Allied Forces are working very hard to redo all of the planning in order to restore a sense of security and national defense. So in the meantime, Putin can cause as much trouble as he wishes, I don't see an easy way short of declaring war, and even then, are we ready for another world conflict, is there anything or any equipment we have that hasn't already been revealed to Russia? We really dont know what Putin knows. The US isn't out, but to we have to regroup, it would be foolhardy to do anything else. In the mean time, the portions of the Continent that was once part of the Soviet Union needs to start thinking on their feet, and contain the threat from Putin on their own. Maybe we will luck out and find our own Snowdovich who feels as deep a need to betray Russia, as Ed Snowden did to the US.
