I’m hardly naive enough to think that we don’t need a sufficient level of defense. I do however have a problem with these never ending wars that consume an inordinate amount of US wealth. How is Russia able to maintain military parity with the US yet only spend 1/10 as much? The arms industry is a total scam on the American people. If you haven’t figured that out yet than you are the one who is naive.
Russia doesn’t.
Would you want Americans to be suffering the massive losses in men and materials that Russia is suffering in invading their next door neighbor or in the way they fight period, using inferior weapons and using mass deaths to make up for them?
What would happen if a second front opened against Russia, for instance China or NATO, or North Korea for that matter, Russia has little air capability and nothing much in the way of a Navy, they are not a peer, their major threat is nuclear and to land they can drive to, Europe.
