“What really gets me is as the US is sleepwalking to war, all these war hawks seems to forget Russia has thousands of nuclear warheads. If this was say 1984, the world would be freaking out that nuclear Armageddon was about to occur.”
I think the years of panic over nuclear war have made the public a little numb to it. I agree with you and Carlson, we don’t want, nor do we need a war. No dead patriots so that the deep state can profit.
Now that the vaccine trove for Big Pharma is lessening, it is time to crank of the machine for the Military Industrial Complex. Got to keep those govenment dollars circulating.
On the other hand it probably does make sense to threaten economic sanctions both to discourage Putin, and to discourage Chinese designs for Taiwan. We also need to move a lot of our supply chain out of China. For example, I hear there is a huge pharmaceutic complex in Puerto Rico that fell into disuse when a law favorable to manufacturers was changed. Howabout changing that law to make nearby drug production more feasible and profitable. Why would we want to be vulnerable to China’s production wims?
