Obama is no JFK, and Vladimir Putin is no Nikita Khrushchev.
So this could get pretty nasty.
Im just wondering how we'll get by without New York, Germany, and the UK not to mention Israel?
And how long and bad the gas and food shortages will last?
Then there are jobs, employment operations, trucking, air travel, medication availability.
Lots of people on life saving medications. That availability would cease fairly fast nation wide.
As they say, only the strong would survive.
Electric power? Home heating come Winter? And radiation fallout?

Vladimir Putin might be as nuts as Bin Laden, and I don't really know how Obama would hold up face to face in a crisis. But neither Mitt Romney or John McCain.

Of all those, John McCain is the most unstable and unpredictable.
Before, he was all for boots on the ground and shoot first, ask questions later.
Now, lately, since Obama is actually talking war, mcCain seems to have softened his rhetoric.
Its like now that mcCain has Obama feeling Obama must do something, McCain is acting like "be careful what you wish for".

Putin is a lot of things. As crazy as Bin Laden is not one of those things.

Are the CIWS systems that are on US Navy ships capable of destroying incoming anti ship missiles that fly at mach 3+? :hmm:

Yes, see SeaRAM system.
