Russia appears to be building up its military bases near a weak point in the NATO alliance

When in Peace, prepare for war! I put that on my cover of my Army Command and General staff officer course binder.

Like I tell RP Democrats and others, money some want to earmark for climate change taxes on fossil fuels like how California, Canada and the EU are doing, foolishly, when we should focus on near term threats like Russia. Carbon Taxes and other funding sources should be put to the 2% of GDP Defense budget that President Trump has suggested. Global cooling from Nuclear War will be more devastating. The Political Scientists of climate change have a religious-like fervor that blinds them to the clear and present dangers of Russia versus Nato, India vs Pakistan, Iran versus Israel and China or North Korea against United States in Southeast Asian countries allied with the US.
