All things Middle East related

[That Guy]

Are you really trying to compare the Psychotic beliefs and desires of the Peace Loving Jihadists with the Soviet Union?

you mean the soviets that are currently occupying a foreign country while assassinating anyone that publicly challenges their leader?

and yes they overuse death to america the same way we overuse terrorist. but training militias isn't nearly as dire as nuclear war. The question is what's the best way to avoid that in the long term, engagement or hostility. in the most extreme it ends either with nukes or with both sides becoming uninterested in using them. we disagree with russia on a LOT of things, but neither side is looking at tossing warhead around, even though america is more hated by the russian population now than ever (due to their state owned "economic warfare" media coverage and all that).
