Our right-wing elite is very strongly McCain-Palin
Which is hysterical, so are ours. Funny how boths sides are exactly alike.
They want McCain because all that bluster and crap trash talk makes them look better, more important - even though, as both sides really know - nothing is going to happen. The USA is not going to invade Russia. Our right wingers are mentally defective, but our army and general staff (as are your right wingers (often called 'hard liners') and general staff are not. Everyone knows you can't invade Mother Russia. Hell, we're having a hard time with Afghanistan and trying to make just Bagdad safe, so some sort of movement like that is impossible.
Just as the other deal is. Red Dawn (WOLVERINES!) aside, Russia is not going to invade the US, nor were they ever going to invade the US. Its all but impossible to do. You have to move enough troops half-way around the world, enough of them to subdue and rule an area that 300x1000 square miles that is - as we all know - full of people who are all but ungovernable to begin with. Ain't happening. The Former Soviet Union NEVER had a war college try to game it out. Which is how plans start. Neither did our War College by they war. We were going to duke it out - if it came to that - all over Europe again.
They just want a return to the good old cold war days. Its only nostalgia really.
