Tough talk? The time for talk is over! Pull NATO out of Afghanistan and aggressively reposition these troops along Russia's western borders where they belong. Plow megamoney into high-tech missile defense, apply robustly. Start signing shitloads of mutual defense treaties with Russia's neighbors, funnel guns and money to anyone that'll sign. Put Condoleeza's Soviet-area expertise in McCain's cabinet. Court China and India more aggressively in order to balance Russia's growing power, more guns here. Allow China a diplomatic free hand in dealing with its internal dissent, ramp up attention on Russia's. Fearmongering media blitz on Russian power, Islam is out/red scare II is in. Drill, drill, drill. Print more American flag stickers, lapel pins, etc.
