Daniel Davis: Russia's New Strategy - No More Appeasing NATO (Glenn Diesen)

Lt. Col. Daniel Davis is a 4x combat veteran, the recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling, and is the host of the Daniel Davis Deep Dive YouTube channel.



Daniel Davis points out that after the US strategic defeat in Vietnam the military became more reflective and sought not to engage in conflicts where there wasn't an achievable objective. However since then, with the regime change wars in the Middle East, that lesson has been set aside. The reason for the current US foreign policy is because it is driven by the Israelis (and their cabal of neocons), and not the US State. 

Both Iran and Russia are targets of the neocons. Attacking these nations, who are allied with each other, and also allied to China, is foolish considering the deindustrialisation of the West. In any long running war of attrition the West will lose. The wars are a road to defeat - militarily and economically.
