NINE warships along with "soft power" tactics??

Riiiiiight.

I don't suppose the US doesn't want to take the problem to the UN.
Right now they're spreading themselves very thin and are pushing themselves into a tricky situation. This bluster may have worked before.
But now, all other countries know where our bluster lies.

In a cheesy CinC who lands grinning on an aircraft carrier, with his stuff crammed into a pouch declaring "Mission Accomplished" while he can't find his ass with two hands.

Sorry, I think his bluster is leaving us wide open for a full blown confrontation with Russia and possibly China. One smart comment (bluster) from either side could escalate this into something we'd rather not see. Our troops are thin and our equipment is worn.
