So I am not like a political expert or anything, but I do read the news and have a good bit of stuff I have picked up over the years in terms of social dynamics and history.
I have this concern lately where it seems like the US and Russia are gearing up for a war. I don't know if this war will be hot or cold, or if it will even happen, but it is a concern of mine. I worry because these are two nuclear regimes, the stakes are very high. So basically the things that worry me are:
-Russia bringing foreign citizens into it's military. (Anyone want to join the Russian military? Get naturalized in a former soviet country and you are in.) -Russia kicking out US protection of their exposed nuclear assets. (I understand that they don't want US spies in their army, but they should also be able to protect this shit by themselves. Having nuclear material without being able to protect them it presents a risk for everyone.) -Russia supporting Ukraine separatists. (Ukraine is appealing to the US to intervene because they think that Russia is funding the "revolution" there. To me it seems likely this is true to some extent.)
I mean the US plays its part too, I'm not trying to deny that. I don't even really know where to begin in criticizing them but it seems like they pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan, they are probably gearing up for something bigger. What is that? Otherwise we should be shrinking our military.
So am I crazy or is this happening? Is this already obvious to everyone else? Is there something I am missing that says these two powers aren't headed towards conflict?

What is money these days anyway? I mean I could totally see things going along as it is and no conflict happening, but I worry we will not be so lucky. I mean I really don't know what type of relationship there is between the US and Russia, I feel like it is weird and there is a potential for things to go south.

All it takes is a heft line of credit from China in exchange for mineral right or other areas of intrest.

No Russia counts on us for trade at the very least, and even China won't start shit because we owe them so much money Loan sharkers never get paid their full due.

Well honestly I hope I am wrong here. I'm not even so sure that it wouldn't be the downfall of the US. We already put enough into the military and we're not even at war. The shit is insane. I just hate to think about it because I know it is not out of the realm of possibilities. Hitler thought that Russia was weak too, but you don't want to wake the sleeping bear I just think we all need to learn to get along.

there won't ever be a real physical war between the US and Russia i don't think, simply because the US doesn't need to engage in combat with Russia to cripple it - the sanctions we are imposing on them is hurting them really bad. inflation is at what, 15% or something now over there? when you ad
