    Zelensky is the strongest man in the world to be able to hold himself back from attacking these ass holes.

      I mean, it would have certainly resulted in him being shot on the spot. The Secret Service would shoot anyone .

          US didn’t spent most of it’s money on army for nothing. Doesn’t matter if the army is as powerful as it says it is, the image is strong enough, so nobody will dare.
          The only way it will crumble down is if they do “putin gambit”, really attack someone, fail spectacularly at it, expose inability to do shit, and get 50 square kilometres of baren wasteland for it.

            But you just described Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Didn’t even get to keep 50 square kilometers of barren wasteland.

              Not really, no. US went there, destroyed a bunch of shit, played around for couple of decades, and went home. They didn’t lose much (occasional humans don’t count, who counts a bunch of kids with guns), that was basically a play so the ghouls can watch some people die, par for the course. US didn’t lose anything substantial ever and never was in a war that was important for them ever since that one with Mexico.

          If you’re imagining some kind of first strike situation I think you’re barking up the ring tree. However, the US is extremely vulnerable economically.
