re: Why is our military deploying again?

Agree with your first paragraph and Putin is definitely a narcissist

That said, I do think that eventually you will have an unstable religious fanatic gain access to a nuclear weapon (or even worse, a stockpile) and it will leave the world leaders with a difficult decisions to make. I do believe it's matter when, not if, a nuclear weapon is launched; I just don't think it will be a prominent power like Russia, China, or the US that pulls the trigger first.

You might be right, but my personal opinion is that we won't see anything like that in our lifetime...in regards to a nuclear weapon being used. But if it happens, I certainly agree that it wouldn't be a nuclear power that made the first move.
