I think it depends on HOW the military spending is allocated. We do need to build up our inventory again, but we need to cut spending to woke projects and foreign aid.

The military industrial complex demands about $50 billion per year in war. As soon as we quit spending $50b per year in Afghanistan, we started spending $50b per year in Ukraine.

He certainly has a point there. That's not the kind of spending we need.

“He certainly has a point there. That’s not the kind of spending we need.”

Excellent wise objective words. I am already questioning if we need more obsolete battleships as they are planning to build. Or an “iron dome” that is completely unfeasible, expensive, and useless.

This is absolutely just throwing money to the MIC to keep them in business without any common sense behind it at all. It is right to question this logic and rationality.
