There are wars of choice (Iraq) and wars of necessity (WWII). The chances of entering a war of necessity and ine that is a total war are difficult to calculate. There are people who are worried but don’t think the current regional wars in Ukraine & Middle East would spill over unless if there is a major miscalculation. Not an expert, just offering my unqualified opinion.

I skipped over most of it, but reading some parts in between this "report" is so... sparse. What I read is mostly just "our adversaries China and Russia are bad" and "we should think about space force" and "recruiting has been rough".

Also crazy how the US is still so hyperfocused on Russia and China as their enemies. If anything causes WW3, it's most likely going to be this weird cultural fetish with having enemies.

Its not a brilliant diplomatic position to just exclaim "these are our adversaries".

You dont see an American villain in every Russian movie, so why the other way around? Why is the US fetishizing this hatred so much? Is it that much fun?

Either way not the best report I've ever skimmed over. I expected a bit more factual and a bit less whining.

Meanwhile in reality, the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues with nightly drone attacks and civilian casualties from Russian aggression. That is why Russians are not welcome in the West.
