Are you sure it didn’t just need fitness videos, T tests, and public executions? Hard to believe the war Trump won 6 months ago is still going on.

We certainly don't need more dumb battleships.

The real question is what sort of military does the United States actually need for defense, not offensive force projection of an imperial power? Which is the wars in both Iraq and Iran as well as most US military actions since WW2. Maybe the entire plan not matter how one funds it is evil.

The defense industry is our back door national industrial policy (socialism). No congressperson is going to vote to close the missile, tank or submarine plant in their district until the last moment.

i try to wrap my mind around how our country is going to survive, but i can't. the breakup of the united states in inevitable.

As long as the 1% own stock in for profit defense contractors, or own PE firms that back defense contractors the budget will continue to balloon & we will continue to use million $ weapons against 5 figure weapons. It’s all a big Ponzi scheme, and the tax payer is always at the bottom of the pyramid

Haven’t been able to reconcile cash in over 2 decades (and counting).

I would say the Debt is the second biggest threat to the Nation, Donald Trump being the first.

Even prior to MAGA, the GOP showed no interest in dealing with unsustainable trends, whether this was debt, climate change, inequality, tribalism or the collapse of trust.

It’s not just the direct impact. The US has been able to leverage access to its air technology for foreign policy. The UAE and F35’s, Turkey voting Sweden into NATO for F-16’s, right back to Egypt getting F-4’s as part of the Camp David deal. Drone tech is edging that bargaining chip off the table.
