  1. Back to the Cold War! I miss the Cold War. I got to do a lot of cutting-edge research with unlimited budgets. It was fun.

  2. The Europeans actually stepping up in their own defense. Finally! Wasn't that what Trump was telling them they needed to do when they laughed at him in his first term? Who's laughing now? The first thing is the Europeans have the money. Their combined economy (EU plus UK) is ten times that of Russia. If you look at some of the, as Peter would say, batsh*t crazy and wasteful programs the EU funds, you know the money is there. They only do the crazy stuff because the US has subsidized their defense for so long. And I am just talking about the EU plus the UK. Add in Ukraine, by the way, and they have additional exploitable oil and natural gas. Start fracking and building nuclear plants and they would be in good shape on the energy front. Secondly, they have three times the population of Russia. Thirdly, their weapon systems are light years ahead of the Russians. Oh, and by the way, they have their own nuclear deterrent. Add it all together, and this should be a slam dunk for them. If they acted together, it is Russia who needs to be afraid.
