this is significant. I saw some excerpts from the interview with a top brass re: dusting off cold war strategies.
Reading between the lines and applying a bit of reality, there are plenty of top career brass who are chomping at the bit to play war with russia. It's the primary adversary of our military, both historically and in technology/logistics. We have prepared for the last 70 years on kicking Russia's ass.
And let's be real about something else. This is a prime opportunity to do that. And just as important, USA is implicated fully in this entire UKraine ordeal, from the rebelion to mh17 and on, and we've supported that with a major propaganda campaign.
So USA is butfuck serious about this.
Russia is in no position to think they could or can win this either. The difference maker is
1. the entire western world is allying itself against Russia/Putin.
2. based on #1 and knowing where Russia GDP is derived and where Russia is currently economically, a war combined with a virtually total shutdown of Russian exports would spell instant collapse of that country.
Finally, this isn't about USA people v Russian people. It's about goverbment v governmnet.
