You don't go on national television and say that a war with Russia is "on the table." You just don't do that. That alone should be enough to turn people off of her. The woman is dangerous and doesn't belong within 5,000 miles of the White House.
How stupid are Americans to buy this crap? Russia lost 20% of its population during World War II. That is an atrocity that most Amerikans probably just can't fathom. And I'm pretty sure the Russians are going to deal quickly and smoothly with anything thrown their way. They've already been through the wringer in war time. As they showed during the Georgian debacle, they ain't putting up with no crap.
Our military is completely broken. We in essence have no military because of the Iraq/Afg fiasco, and we don't STAND A CHANCE against the Russians. And Russia is swimming in money - absolutely drowning in money because of their oil and natural gas. Whereas we are completely FLAT OUT BROKE. The U.S. is financially busted. I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. loses its AAA credit status.
And Putin is an elite intellectual who was trained by the KGB. He's really smart and is ALWAYS going to be thinking one step ahead of his opponents. Not for nothin' do those Russians churn out the best chess players in the world.
Suffice to say, if we provoke Russia again after the way Georgia f***ked up S. Ossetia, it would be like playing checkers while Putin is playing chess. We'd lose in a heartbeat.
We are no longer a superpower. Maybe Amerikans just need to realize how low we've sunk. A broken military and debt up to our eyeballs does not equal "superpower."
