On another note, there have been repeated stories of Putin threatening nuclear war and his moving submarines into the north Atlantic, among other aggressive posturing. My feelings on it being, you can't let bullies run all over you. Because when you do they only grow too comfortable in doing/saying the same.
Yes I'm a Christian. But I'm not exactly a turn the other cheek kind of guy. I'm more of a "what's good for the goose..." "eye for an eye" "mutual assured destruction" kind of guy. I believe when enemies show you who and what they are, BELIEVE 'em. That when their leaders tell them to go out and buy two weapons, one should at least CONSIDER doing likewise.
