Contrived US/Russia “tensions” benefit the Warfare State

Pentagon is sending troops and war gear to the border of Russia, the first such deployment since the end of the Cold War.  The deployment is called the, “European Reassurance Initiative“, and is clearly meant to provoke Russia into a first strike.  So, around 4,200 troops are going to six countries: Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria, along with hundreds of tanks and other gear.  How would we feel if Russia lined the border between the US and Canada with Russian troops and Russian nukes?

What life is like after militarized cops ransack your home and business

…and take everything of value.  Washington Post

The Drug War gives cops the power to descend on peaceful families and steal their valuables, keeping them even after a judge rules against the cops.  The Drug War is the backdoor into our liberties that has created the perfect environment for the growth of an unaccountable Police State.  Take it away and that Police State will starve from a lack of power and money.  It will starve in the face of our liberty.
