VIDEO EXCERPTS: . . . Someone doing something really, really, breathtakingly stupid and provoking the United States ... This has happened before. I mean you could make the argument that was basically Pearl Harbor...
... When I look around the world at the powers that are in play, I don't think the Chinese are anywhere near dumb enough to do that. At least a few years ago [...they realized...] that if there was a fight with the United States, it would be a fight on the water. China depends upon freedom of the seas in order to keep its people alive.
The entire economic model, the food imports, the energy imports would just stop; and China knows that would be suicide.
So the only country right now where that might be an issue, would be the Russians. And that's because of Russian incompetence.
We've we've learned over the last three years that Russia doesn't have a classic army in the sense that most people think of the word. They basically have a mob, that they put guns into their hands, and throw them at things. And that's a strategy that has never worked for the Russians.
If the fight gets to a point that it's hitting US interest, that's where you get the direct clash. So as long as the United States is at least passively interested in NATO -- should Ukraine fall, then we will be in a more direct fight. But we are not there now, and if the Russians continue making the gains that they've been making in the last year for the next five years, we will still not be there...
Is the US looking for a war?
