When did Russia threaten the US? China repeatedly threatens war with
the US, over Taiwan and over the South China Sea, but not Russia.
Non-crisis wars are fought on rational considerations, such as
by counting numbers of missiles.
Crisis wars are like sex. They're driven by raw emotion, DNA and
hormones, and are often completely inappropriate and irrational.
From a purely rational point of view, the South never had a chance of
beating the North, and Japan never had a chance of defeating America.
And yet those wars went forward. Go figure.
