Right, in the middle of war with Russia and with war with China on the horizon. Great idea.

Right, in the middle of war with Russia and with war with China on the horizon. Great idea.
- themoonisachees 4y agoThe US aren't at war with Russia. Sure, they're helping an ally in a De facto war against Russia, but currently the us spends more on "defense" than both Russia and China combined, when it is technically at peace. In case of a war with China, are you expecting the military budget to not increase at all?
- Thetawaves 4y agoHow do you stay at peace? A strong deterrence.
- pessimizer 4y agoThe US has the strongest deterrence in the history of the world, and it's constantly at war.
- LetsGetTechnicl 4y agoWars we've provoked/are provoking but that's not a discussion relevant to the original submission
- vaidhy 4y agoWhen is the time US has not been at war? Maybe, we are inverting cause and effect here.. US is always at war because the budget allows for it?
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoSay it this way. Tomorrow if the american security /defence budget was cut to 0, do you think the rest of the world will storm/attack Americans because they have an eternal blood thirst for them? Don't they have their own problems to deal with? This is the problem with mitary and security infra of any country. They keep the bogeyman alive because their paychecks depend on it.
- Thetawaves 4y agoThis is literally exactly what would happen. It need not be blood thirst motivation; simple profit dynamics are enough to ensure this outcome.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agokeep on dreaming
- Thetawaves 4y agoGood thing you will never find out.
