I'll have to say that I don't trust Russia in the ME; they are "professional troublemakers." There seems to be a move to stretch American forces to the max in order to cause major logistics problems with cover and supply. We are being probed on every level to find our weaknesses, and there are many, by multiple nations. I'm fearful that all thus information is going into a Cray Super Computer in the PRC so that a multi-front, multinational assault can be sprung on our forces. I hope that this doesn't sound too paranoid, but the US still tethers the troops to inept civilian control; and in todays world, such can lead to very damaging lag in response times. I say; Unleash the Hounds!!!
