During Vietnam the hawks told us if we lose the Russians will be over here next, a typical “boogie man going to get you” tactic. We lost. Not only did the Russians not come here, they left the eastern block by 1991. Now it’s the Ukraine War and hawks telling us if Russians win they will invade NATO. There’s that darned “boogie man going to get you” argument again.
NATO represents 60% of global military power. Russia, with just 5%, don’t make much of a boogie man.
