Isn’t Russia the only country involved that went on a war footing? The rest were never serious. They thought sanctions would stop Russia!
The sanctions on Russia has hurt the West far more than Russia with the fact that Russia gained independence from Western corporate dominance and kick started the stampede to BRICs.
Only neocons are dumb enough to think the Ukraine War is a good thing for America and Americans.
Our war planners believed taking away Visa, OnlyFans, and McDonalds would make the Russian state collapse.
Says a lot more about us than it does about them.
Interesting question about war footing.
To the group here;
Did the USA ever go on a “War Footing” regarding our Vietnam War? We drafted sure
And I beliieve, I understood that we inflated our money to fund it on the down low, rather than stand up and sell war bonds. Ration, etc. That’s why Nixon ended up trying price controls briefly, in a failed attempt to counter inflation. It failed, and it’s legacy plus other things. Cost Ford the election in ‘76.
True?
