Fortress America While Russia Builds Something Else - Parallel History - Econ Lessons

[TexasTowelie]

Hi, my name is Mark, and here’s a historical parallel that’s more relevant than ever to the U.S., Russia, and the world. As the U.S. constructs its high-tech "Fortress America"—the so-called Golden Dome Fortress—believing it can shield itself from all external threats, history may repeat itself.

Just as France relied on the Maginot Line before WWII—only to be bypassed entirely—America’s defensive strategy today could be rendered obsolete by alternative weapons. While Washington focuses on traditional military superiority, recent satellite imagery from the U.S. State Department reportedly reveals the expansion of Sergiev Posad-6, a facility long associated with secret weapons research. Could the next war be fought on entirely different terms?

This video examines the shifting nature of modern defense, drawing lessons from history and questioning whether America’s sense of security is misplaced. If we want to build a better, more peaceful world for future generations, Washington and the American people must take history seriously and rethink their approach. Building walls is not the answer.
