You should take a look at world military budgets... actually look at the countries that are spending the money.
$1.7T/year in total military spending worldwide.
China at 200B, Russia at 70B.
Iran? 22nd largest military budget at $10B.
The rest of the big spenders are our friends and allies. I'm not going to count up every country, but roughly 1.3T to 1.4T is spent by the US + allies + friendly countries.
Who are we preparing for war with?
- tremon 10y agoWho are we preparing for war with? Our own citizens, of course.
- makomk 10y agoOne of the scenarios that concern the EU is Russia invading and occupying EU states before Nato or the US can respond, present them with a kind of fait accompi and hoping the political will to respond won't be there. So the US needs the ability to convincingly be able to take on entrenched Russian occupation of multiple other countries and take them back.
