Northern Ireland, the former Yugoslavia, Chechnya, and the eastern Ukraine.
That's it.
Wars are mostly fought with non-caucasian proxies.
The caucasian race is not going to cede already-shaky global hegemony with a hot war between the two largest caucasian-dominant nations.
White nationalism is the cornerstone of President Steve Bannon's ideology.
Operation Able Archer reveals things in a far different light to your optimism about human nature. Shit happens when Jack jumps out of the box. If the US and the West continue pumping up the Collective Shadow with their endless projections anything is possible.
Point taken, but note there was no policy of first-strike nuclear attack on either side.
Face it, Russia doesn't have anything the US is going to go to hot war with them over.
Syria? Ukraine? The USA goes to war over two commodities -- oil and heroin -- and last I looked neither Syria nor the Ukraine were major players.
I find the entire subject of Russia over-rated.
Once Obama and Putin negotiated the removal of weapons of mass destruction from Syria and Iran the chances of a wider war diminished significantly.
The hacks of Podesta/DNC would have amounted to a footnote IF the GOP hadn't disenfranchised millions of Democratic voters, or IF James Comey hadn't interfered in the 2016 election.
I grit my teeth every time some clown says -- "We can't let the Russians interfere in our elections ever again!"
How about not letting the Republican Party interfere in our universal ballot access ever again?
