If Russia is Nigeria or a gas station etc., then the US is a McDonald’s that produces junk weapons at ridiculously high prices.

I watched the program live, perfection. Sabby's program reaches out to very broad demographics of activists. I loved the first slap, meeting of your wife story ha. When I wake up in the morning now, I look up to see if the roof is still on and not on fire. When I was in grade school, we practiced the under the desk nuclear survival drill once a month. Everyone enjoyed the weird setting. That first time, I looked into my teachers eyes, she was horrified which told me she knew something I didn't. Propaganda of nuclear war survival is loud and under the desk now. The not so funny thing is, Russia would be far better off launching a first strike having a defensive system that works considering we don't have a defensive system in the u.s. I wrote a story about what is happening now only it was China, not Russia being the first victim of u.s. aggression. Run To The Light. When the Neutrons scintillate your eye, let that be your guide.

Long before “active shooter” drills, I can remember the “atomic bomb” drills. In the 4th grade our idiot nun miscounted the number of bells and insisted it was a fire drill and we must evacuate the building. Despite our protests, we marched out to stand in the parking lot to be incinerated by the evil Ruskies. We were the laughing stock of the school for the rest of the year. Growing up absurd.

Question for you Mark, I work in science and my world is many times not logical in Dark Matter however it isn't intentional. I find it beyond logic the u.s. would seek war on Ukraine, China and Iran all at the same time while destroying the dollar as a global grift. None of this makes any sense unless this is a massive cover of u.s. financial collapse even greater than 2008. I calculated we in the u.s. would pass 35 Trillion in debt with an average maturity of 5 years on Aug 11th. Interest on the debt will be a1 Trillion this year climbing at roughly 1 Trillion every 100 days. Could we in the u.s. be using Nuclear War as a diversion? Not even MIC can explain this mad rush to war on all countries.

Is it possible that asking such questions, we are actually overestimating the thoughtfulness of these people? Any of their wars were planned out only short-term on a certain level. CIA eventually had to lay out the possible dangers for the US longterm. But apart from that not much of structural thinking. With RU as peer power it´s more difficult. But it has worked so far. US could shut down this operation any day, like they did with Afghanistan. The expenditures are minimal. And profit for certain segments are again enormous - just like with Iraq. Apart from that it´s Burn´s job to take care it doesn´t go nuclear. I don´t claim all of it, but much is impro.

p.s. which reminds me of what French soccer coach Didier Dechamps said a couple of years ago: He gives a framwork but much is up to his players in that very moment. Which was suprising for many in the business who have become accustomed to highly planned out, deep-data soccer gamed out in advance. (see e.g. European coaches like Pep Guardiola, Thomas Tuchel, van Gaal)
