It may seem obvious that governments should think through their policies before implementing them; if they don’t, they risk encountering the dreaded law of unintended consequences. That’s exactly what’s happening in the United States’ defense-industrial policy.
You wish he was but he isn’t.
But he is. It’s defense stocks are dropping and the GOP budget proposes to slash military spending by over 30% I’m the next 5 years.
They’re quite literally making the US weaker while helping Russia assert itself in Europe
USA already spend 1000% times what other countries do a 30% cut is making USA weaker by an inch
It always end up higher than before
We do not spend “1000%” more than other countries, and what we do spend is heavily wasted as well.
A 30% reduction is the largest cut for the military in decades. It will absolutely have an impact, as will losing the trust of our allies. No one will let us station troops in their country when we show the world that we’re a bunch of backstabbers.
Let’s hope so, usa has thousand of thousand of military infrastructures around the world
