Are we planning a ground attack on Russia because we really think the former Soviet Empire will invade Poland or the Baltic nations? Are we planning for a land war in Europe to intervene in the Ukraine? What for is the money? The Trump administration and Big Media, for all their noise, mainly argue that more spending is good.
Americans may think that we don't start wars, but the Russians don't.
The old shill argument that democracies don't start wars is belied by American attacks on Serbia, Iraq, Libya, and Yemen.
The casualness with which much of Washington regards conflict and starting wars is only comparable to the thoughtlessness of Europeans when they started World War I. Like now, that war followed nearly a century of relative peace and prosperity.
America is hostage to the actions of a host of tiny countries possibly starting a war.
Witness now how casually Trump talks about starting a war with Iran, with no thought of possible consequences, including blowing up oil facilities in the Persian Gulf, oil and gas vital for the world economy.
For most Americans, war means sitting in front of their TV's watching the bombs fall on small nations unable to resist or respond to our power.
