. . .

J          “Russia.”

K          “U.S.A.”

. . .

K          “Both countries are getting extended.”

J          “One country is retreating.”

. . .

K          “Russia had little choice.  Russia is moving purposefully because it must move purposefully.  The U.S. is moving clumsily because it always moves clumsily.”

J          “This is the biggest game changer in recent years.”

K          “Turkey is the emerging big player.”

J          “I do not doubt that there will be many unintended consequences.”

. . .

K          “When you have someone cornered, you are in the same corner.”

. . .

K          “They all certainly extended and expanded World War III.  More war, more death, more destruction, more violence.  More war, more death, more destruction, more violence.  More war, more death, more destruction, more violence.  And as I have said many times, when the tide shifts, the blowback over the next 100 years will be unprecedented in human history.”
