I read all these “conservatives” ranting against defense spending and I want to cry.
Are you out of your freekin minds?
China, Russia and Iran are no threat to us?
Unreal.
“Boo hoo I only care about the Southern Border! “
Are some of you really that ignorant?
Sorry, but for so called “conservatives” the viewponts about national defense are completely outrageous.
National defense against armed aggression is the FIRST PRIORITY of a national government.
Go cry. And read some history through the tears. Do you know what happens when Empires overextend themselves militarily? They collapse from it.
Plus what the heck do you think you are defending? The USA is rotting away from the inside. The Communists and the Islamists are INSIDE THE FREAKING BORDER. Are new aircraft carriers and missiles going to solve that?
The country is dying from cancer, the house is being foreclosed, and you want to go on a shopping spree at Cabela's. That's what you hawks sound like to me.
Insane. And deluded.
We are spending more and getting less. That is not going to work very well.
Moreover, the 69th Intersectional Dildo brigade is not going to win any wars, or even any battles. They might be able to run the concentration camps into which the Democrats want to put their political opponents, but against a peer enemy force, they will be wiped out.
As it stands now, a war with Russia or China is a war we will lose. War with both of them will be a catastrophe. We must have changes in our military forces to solve this problem, and our current political leaders are not going to be part of the solution because they are the cause of the problems.
Much of the money we do spend on "national defense" is being spent on the wrong activities. The spending is being controlled by the wrong people. The spending is not for its' declared purpose.
Best to be extremely cautious about increasing any of it until these other problems are resolved.
