Those who advocate a war with Russia are you recommending suicide ? Once the nukes are let loose no one is a winner . really the whole world losses regardless of who is the last nation standing .
Even if it never comes to the nukes Russia wont be a total push over it is one of the few countries who has trained and can mobilize all of its military in 2-5 hrs .
The gunboat diplomacy is not the answer . Diplomacy where give and take occurs. Compromise on both sides .
Every one who is advocating a war with Russia do you already have a bomb shelter built and stocked for several years with plenty of items for decontamination ?
If not better do so before advocating a war with Russia !

DEBKAfile's military sources report Moscow's planned retaliation for America's missile interceptors in Poland and US-Israeli military aid to Georgia may come in the form of installing Iskandar surface missiles in Syria and its Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad.
Russian Baltic and Middle East warships, submarines and long-range bombers may be armed with nuclear warheads, according to Sunday newspapers in Europe.

that quote made my day, sorry to inform you mate but the USA is not capable of taking out russia and Iran, its not as simple as that. dont underestimate the russian war machine and on that note dont underestimate Iran either , they are no pushovers, for once I would be on russias side sick of the western hypocritical culture of do gooders and pompous idiots.
Can I ask what country you are from that we "do gooders and pompous idiots" Americans are protecting from the rest of your neighbors?
You are naive.
Edit:
I realize "America" sometimes screws the pooch, but at least we do something.. the rest of the world seems to just let the chips fall where they may. It it wasn't for America (and it's sometimes reluctant allies) the world would have probably have had a few more Hitlers by now.
You'd probably be a proverbial "Nazi" if not for the US. (directly or indirectly)

I think in a conflict between the US and Russia, US would us small tactical nukes against military targets. However, I don't think it would become a big nuclear issue. I believe both sides would work out the issue before something like MAD would come into play. Of course it would be the losing side that would initiate something of that level, if it came to that.
This is just the Russians trying to play a card that the US doesn't want. They see this as the US making a move against them and they want to do something to prevent it. Russia is not crazy enough to launch nuclear missiles at the US. They could put one underneath my house and I wouldn't be worried about it. They don't want to end the world they just want to be recognized within it.
