If they decide to be stupid and make a first move, then we should contain them with long range weaponery (i.e. tanks in Turkmenistan, Iraq and Afghanistan, and battleships in the Arabina and Caspian sea, as well as in the Persian Gulf) put sanctions on goods other than are necessities to life (we cannot ever sanction food, water, medicines, for any reason). We CANNOT make a first move. Not only would it be disrespectful to our allies, but it would (based on our record) mean failure and the deaths of many, many more soldiers.
