David Rutherford says the U.S. is already at war, and walks through seven warning signs he says came before America's wars. In this solo episode, David, who says he spent much of his adult life in special operations and intelligence work, walks through seven warning signs he sees in the years before America's wars, and says he sees them again today. He says he is not predicting a war and that his list is not a definitive way to read history. He wants to give listeners more context for their own critical thinking.
