We wouldn't be defending ourselves, but we'd be defending our interests which is good enough for me. I don't like how so many people have bitched about our war in Afghanistan, always talking about how we need to get out, yet those are many of the same people criticizing our government for not taking a tougher stance on Russia. It's either one way or another, we either fight for our interests and what's good in the world, or we only fight when our people are at risk. It can't be both.

I, for one, think we need to stand up to Putin with our military and punk him on the world stage. He talks a big game, but he doesn't have the power to actually go toe to toe with America, and never will.
