We have no national interest in Ukraine. We do seem to have an over-active military-industrial complex that wants to have an external enemy to rally against. Just like the corporate profits coming from the COVID crisis, some political campaign contributors want a place to send money raised by increasing the federal debt.
My comment was m guess on where the next battleground will be that we will send federal debt dollars to. Should we be there? No.
We do seem to have an over-active military-industrial complex that wants to have an external enemy to rally against. Notice all the defense companies are relocating to DC metro area.
It's important to have a powerful military. But we can easily cut down 75% and we will be able to remain our deterence.
But if we cut our military, we should reduce our entitlements (never).
