I understand our continuous development of new arms and equipment has not abated, but with a simple order to “stand down” or “remain in place” will render them a science museum piece.
Those in control will not do as the Egyptian military did when confronted with the enemy in control of the government. Our current administration is being manipulated by a sophisticated mind. Obviously not the spokesman’s mind.
I wish we got as much for our defense dollars as the Chinese or the Russians... Instead we get failures like the F-35.
You forgot to include the graph that shows how far our procurement dollars go in relationship to countries that do not allow unions.
Because that graph blows the “but-but-but-we-outspend-every-other-country” canard back into the Stone Age.
You might want to compare BATTLE TANKS, PLANES, and NUKES between the Russians and the US.
You might be surprised that, at best, we’re even...if that.
You might LEARN SOMETHING if you do.
