Comments

Interesting, but the comments from the two experts are quite similar to those stated previously by Justin in particular. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my take away would be that in a conflict between East and West, the West (NATO) has the potential to dominate such a conflict, but it's necessary to first overcome the spending reductions over the past several decades and emphasize the focus on restoring capabilities previously developed for such a conflict. Absent that, NATO might still defeat Russia or China, but losses would likely be unnecessarily higher.

Also, thanks so much for your acknowledgement of your supporters; I think we're all very pleased and honored to be in this community. Thanks for the thoughtful, in-depth research and reporting to provide us!

Yes, Justin has worked on this before and potentially you saw the supporters only interview I had with him a while back. Scenes from that interview are now in this release. Thus, if it feels familiar, it is because it is familiar. Spending and industrial capacity are the main issue, especially in Europe. Very compact, highly interconnected and basically only waking up from an eternal peace. However, am optimistic in many ways. Western democracies always react slow to the inconvenient but once they are in gear, they really work.
