There was this story that during the Nixon administration, the Russians obliquely asked them what their attitude would be if there were a nuclear war between Russia and China. The impression was given, at least to me, that the Russians were thinking of eliminating the Chinese because they had become rather troublesome to them.
The Nixon adminstration's response was to be ambivalent as possible so as to create doubt amongst the Russians that such an idea was a good one. Perhaps Nixon did the Chinese a great service, for Russia may have been contemplating a first strike.
With all this Russian posturing of late, I am beginning to wonder what their intentions are with respect to us. Also, what is Obama's intentions with respect to that? We may have a pretty bad situation on our hands here.
Could the Russians be getting an idea that they could eliminate the USA without major repercussions to themselves?
