President Obama sends a tough message to the leadership of Russia.

In the game of poker you get five cards and then you get to discard two 
and draw two more. The objective is to wager that your opponent has a 
weaker hand than you do, but the odds are not in your favor when you are 
dealing with a fresh deck. So, sometimes you have to resort to 
subterfuge or have faith in the luck of the draw.

In the game of chess the objective is to maneuvers one's pieces to 
acquire an advantage over your opponent, eliminating only those enemy 
pieces necessary to secure one's own advantageous position - while 
counter acting against the opponents maneuvers. The final objective is 
to place the opponent's leader (the king) into such a position that 
his/her/it's defeat is absolute and final.

Ukraine, Moldova and Lithuania are all well covered by the opponent's 
knights and rooks. Finland must not stand between the kings. It's a game 
of chess being played on Russia's table and the American king is far, 
far away. As in chess, after sufficient pieces drop into Russia's hands, 
a stalemate becomes the logical outcome.

So, What could the opponent king do? Kick over the table? Not likely.

Putin is playing chess. Obama is playing poker - Obama is the one doing 
the bluffing. It's the difference between poker and chess.

Obama is playing a different strategy with Putin.  Obama are and the NATO 
allies are threatening Russia with sanctions which would hurt most of the 
people of Russia.  And, Putin can't do anything about it other than trade its 
goods and services with China.  Also, it would be destructive for him to use 
arms and weapons.  It would only lead to a MAD policy which could annihilate 
the entire planet. 

 In the end, China would come out ahead since it can trade with everyone in the 
world including the US and the rest of the NATO member countries.

[FairfieldLife] Obama Warns North Korea

2014-04-26 Thread jr_esq
President Obama sends a tough message to the leadership of North Korea against 
nuclear threats.  Would this strategy work against a dictator that marches to a 
different drummer?
