As unbelievable as it sounds, the U.S. is closer now to attacking Russia than it’s been in more than 40 years.
Russia’s support of the Bashar Assad regime in Syria has resulted in airstrikes on hospitals and food aid convoys — strikes that the Obama administration has blamed on Russia, despite evidence being conflicting (there are some indications that the missiles may have come from U.S. drones).
In at least one case, the U.S. has “accidentally” bombed Syrian soldiers protecting ground areas from ISIS, immediately before ISIS overran their positions.
Prominent politicians including Senator John McCain have called for a “no-fly zone” in Syria, and spokesmen from the State and Defense Departments have literally said it may be time for Russian soldiers to be going home in body bags.
Both President Obama and Hillary Clinton are fully in support of taking further action, despite warnings from military leaders that this could lead to open conflict with Russia.
In this clip, we can see U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley warning Russia in no uncertain terms of America’s military might and willingness to use firepower to protect our allies and destroy targets wherever they may be.
