I haven't quite finished but it does go through the schematics and size differences in military as well as US aid.

Interesting. Let's hope this is close enough to reality. But now there is twice the firepower around Ukraine.
I am wondering why the West would not shut down the Swiss banking system from Russia that I heard this morning would not happen.

We'll see, unfortunately.

Would guess because that could unleash a more aggressive use of Cyber warfare, first in the Ukraine, later Europe. Also, Switzerland is not a member of NATO although they do have a collaborative understanding. If the Swiss shutdown the banks to Russians with billions invested there, they will loose a ton of accounts with the other dictators etc out there. It's bad for business....

By the way Biden and his team are acting, and saying or implying an invasion is sure to happen, its almost like HE WANTS it to happen. Maybe a way to bolster his dying economy. We do NOT need a war, been there done that twice ( by serving) in my life.

This administration has learned from the mistakes they did before and after Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014. Many in this administration was in the Obama administration after all, with the obvious one being President Biden.

So this is a concerted effort to discourage Putin to again invade Ukraine, and prepare the public for what is to come after an invasion.

Russia is yet again a belligerent neighbour threatening our freedom, peace and democracy.

If I'm correct wars don't bolster the economy but put it in greater debt.

They hack us, we should be hacking them and showing communications between Putin and his generals.

Government debt, manufacturing gains.

Trye WWII is an example when you read about the ramp up, jobs, new technology, but they drove up debt and here we are. People always wonder if there was NO wars what would the economy look like.

Only the 1920s and 1980s were clear of war as far as the US was concerned. Many other factors were involved but both decades had two major things in common. Presidents that were deregulating with tax cuts and the economy was robust and still created a ton of new technology.

Particularly Faux's natl security reps description but also Tucker, again. BTC does one of the best jobs using examples of to highlight the circus Faux is. Pretty sad really.

Edit: if you notice what the rep is doing is she's talking straight through to get the seriousness of the situation across to the viewers.

What's pretty sad is your obsession. The beginning of that segment from Watter's does the opposite of what you constantly try to prove. It was a reasoned articulation and defense of Biden's approach that Watters allowed the FOX viewers to be exposed to...que terrible!
You would be better served coming to your own conclusions instead of getting them from Brian Cohen.

More accurately, we occupied Nicaragua and Haiti throughout the 1920's and the Dominican Republic until the mid-1920s
