All that matters in the long run, we're assuming no major attacks. For the Dems, no major attacks. The Europeans do deploy some troops in Lebanon, with no major brouhaha there. (Big assumption).
More important and equally unlikely- No major attacks on US/Western Europe. Why would any of us care if Russia is hit by Chechyans? They have been fair. I hated the babies killed, but it seems the didn't. So f them.
My guess, the West will be hit, then all bets are off.
Could go totally dhimmi, and wouldn't surprise me.
Then again, could be they take this as a wake up and call to arms. Also wouldn't surprise me. Bo†h fit historical framework.
