> We’re literally torching two billion dollars a day on the military when we’re not at war and not under threat. Would you just start spending when the war starts? Then you'll get a war much sooner (the enemy will see your weakness) but you'll save money (the war will end quickly). > not under threat China, most of all? Russia? Iran?

None of those countries want a war with the US.

  That doesn't mean they don't want things that may lead to war, and may want them badly enough to risk war, such as Taiwan or parts of Europe. If the US is weaker militarily, the risk is less and they are more likely to take it.
