"There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have. Remember Scrooge, time is short, and suddenly, you're not there any more." -Ghost of Christmas Present, Scrooge
What do the Russians do for a 2nd act? The US isn't going away.
Fortunately for Putin he is pitching to people who are happy with lots of posturing, convinced that everything he does is right. If there is a second act it may be a good deal less pleasant.
The DONALD COOK was 70 miles from a Russian military base with the capability to shoot down every aircraft on that base and no one expected them to respond? The old days we would have sent up planes to practice our interception techniques. I'm sure to hell that the DONALD COOK was testing their firing solutions up and down the ying-yang. You don't get real life opportunities to practice against real opponents that often.
