I'm not talking about the first $700 billion in spending and first trillions in defense assets: I'm talking about the hundreds of billions of additional defense spending on top of that. You can't increase your "don't fuck with us or you will be annihilated" factor past 100% once it's already there. The largest Air Force in the world is the US Air Force. The second largest is the US Navy's fleet of aircraft. At what point is this not enough?

> At what point is this not enough? Excellent question, and as a far left socialist who would love to see more defense spending go towards universal healthcare instead, I agree with you that the current spending is excessive. I'm unsure of where that line is, but would love for someone to research it.
