I agree with Thornberry - if we want to GOAD RUSSIA into going to war over Ukraine, we might as well start spending the money needed to actually win, since millions of American lives will still answer to just one of their thousands of nukes.
Our military budge now is SO STRONG that we’ve managed to get 3 carriers out of base (i.e., deployed), which is a lot better than the 1 or 2 we were able to send out at any time last year. A whole 3 carriers... I guess we have to start somewhere.
