reintroducing the draft. mobilizing production assets to make munitions, and weapons. weapons procurement. spending authorizations. and, ratcheting up the rhetoric & propaganda machines, posturing for justifications.
mostly old antagonisms that have been dormant for a bit, but, apparently a long time festering. all the signs are there.
cold war stuff. hot war stuff. time will tell. if it goes hot, it will be very nasty, indeed.
