Palin leaves open option of war with Russia - Yahoo! News
Quote:
"We will not repeat a Cold War," Palin said in her first television interview...
Asked whether the United States would have to go to war with Russia if it invaded Georgia, and the country was part of NATO, Palin said: "Perhaps so."

This sounds crazy. I don't want to wage war against Russia. It can have Georgia if it wants, does she (or McCain/Obama) understand what the Russians have in terms of a military? True, we have enough defenses I'm not worried about a Russian invasion yet, ICBMs maybe, but not a conventional war on US soil. But, I doubt the US would win if we fought Russia on Russian soil.

Pressed on the question, Palin responded: "What I think is that smaller democratic countries that are invaded by a larger power is something for us to be vigilant against ... We have got to show the support, in this case, for Georgia. The support that we can show is economic sanctions perhaps against Russia, if this is what it leads to."

OK, this sound a little better. Go with this answer.
