YES. YES HE WOULD. ONLY if it were to his advantage and kept him out of jail. If he thought he would get caught, he STILL might do it. HE IS THAT STUPID.
I believe trump does whatever Putin orders/commands/requests/tells him to do. No line beyond which he would not go to please his puppetmaster. We do not know how dirt or the nature of what Putin has on trump. It must be despicable and ugly.Thank you for your reply Sharon and the graphic. I was going to use an adjective but Honestly I can't settle on one that it justice. Use your imagination! Gawd he is UGLY.
I can't picture any situation where that would happen. As far as I know, the only time it has happened ... was the First Gulf War (kicking Iraq out of Kuwait). I don't think Russian military forces were involved, though. Mainly because our systems are incompatible.
So, yeah ... if Russia did something similar and asked for us to help, it would probably be the same thing. Incompatible systems - so I wouldn't support troops fighting side-by-side.
btw - Incompatible systems is one reason we don't want Turkey to manufacture parts for our NATO planes, while also having Russian air-defense technology.
Here's where my ignorance shows Walt and so I need your help to understand what you mean. What do you mean the systems are incompatible? Soldiers are armed and ready to kill and do when they can. What other system is there when you are at war? Apologies for my dumb.Thank you for your reply. It's what you tell me next that will be helpful. Thanking you in advance I remain YOS! :)
First, of course, there's the basic language barrier. Most Russian troops don't speak English - and most American troops don't speak Russian. Add that to the fact that they have never trained together - and it makes it unwise (at the least) to field them together.
There are computer systems on the battlefield - one purpose of which is to reduce "friendly fire" incidents. Helicopters, tanks, bombers, fighters, ships ... all have computers to tell them where friendly forces are. Part of that system is portable units carried by soldiers. So if the systems aren't compatible, you increase the chances of "friendly fire".
Another technology is basic radio communications. If the radios aren't capable of operating on the same frequency and encryption - units can't communicate and coordinate actions.

GADZOOKS Walt! I had no idea about any of that! Thanks for filling in the blanks about what you alluded to. War isn't as easy as I thought if odd countries speaking different languages combine to fight a common enemy. Appreciate that you were kind enough to take the time to detail what you meant :).
