Ollie: Most of the $110 billion is spent in the US to defense contractors providing US high skilled jobs and it sends a message to Putin and to China: No more invasions.
This is exactly what Oliver North said in that video. At root, Ollie is an anti-communist Reaganist. So are you and I. We all see Vlad Putin as trying to bring back the old communist USSR. And the USSR's boot on its neighbor's necks. Russia is not communist, but Putin's Russia is trying to revive ye old USSR imperialism. Only problem is, ethnic Russian (real Russians!) birthrates are too low.
