Very good post.
I don’t think American or European leadership, both civilian and military, has ever been this inept.
Thank you. And that ‘ineptness’ is what bothers me. Accidently getting us involved in a new ground war in Europe without their even realizing it.
After the end of the Cold War, I never felt comfortable with all of the “we don’t have to fear/expect to fight the Russians again” mindset.
