Russia is not the enemy, there are far more dangerous interests that are already in our congress, compared to the great world leaders Vladimir Putin. We call them countrymen or leaders but many are in fact "dual citizens" and don't have real allegiance to anything but power (or in many cases, Israel).

That was a real quick turn-around you made. We absolutely always have a choice in how much money we waste. Draft every healthy 18-year-old into the military, send them home four years later with training and a rifle. National defense improves and cost goes way down.
People don't want a draft, because we have too many snowflakes who never put on a uniform. Make it an opt-out system, rather than opt-in and that would go a long way improving defense and decreasing spending.Comment -
Majority of people who make complaints like this will be voting for the incumbent in November. This ideology shows that America is not Great Again; this means America is destroying itself. The half-trillion per year spending on the military does nothing to protect us. It mostly hurts us and makes us weaker by adding so much to our national debt -- which we then owe to the rest of the world.Comment -
Imagine being so mad at a foreign nation.
You crash a lambo worth more than $100,000 into their hills, buildings or terrain. That's how much $$ the missiles drones fire are worth.
That's how the US military wages "war" in this day and age.
The only thing it does is inflate the deficit and guarantee america will go bankrupt long before they achieve anything of value.
More than $12 trillion dollars lit on fire and burned on war in the middle east. With absolutely nothing to show for it.
There's nothing to brag about as far as the US military goes.
Its a giant money pit and corporate welfare program for lockheed martin and other defense contractors producing garbage.Comment -
This is why we have the trident submarines. Even if mainland is struck we will fully be able to strike back with what ever is needed.Comment -

The cost of a service member is about $100,000 per year and is an investment in our own people. The half-trillion spent on the military keeps us in debt to the rest of the world and gives them an easy way to overtake us as a world power. Obviously that's what people in the US want, because we keep insisting the government go further and further into debt to fund the military.Comment -
China/Russia/USA anyone of them can blow each other off the map. A war between any of them you don't to want to see happen. They'll be nothing left in the end on either side..Comment -
world currency not two country currency... no one is mass buying rubles... come on manComment -
Global reserve currency**.
The problem is liabilities and interest grow @ greater rate than revenues on an annualized basis.
The cost of programs like social security might grow 20% per year. While tax revenues only grow 3% to 5% per year. Eventually you reach a point where liabilities are larger than revenues. Its only a question of when.Comment -
A conservative government could pay off the debt. It was under control for most of the entire history of the country. Even after the liberals took over Washington in the 1980s and decided to make debt and spending their top priority, it was brought back under control in the 90s. Just because the federal government is filled with left wing extremists right now, doesn't mean we can't change back. We've done it before.Comment -
Trump's space force will eliminate that asteroid or meteor before it gets us. He's a smart man.Comment -
with no power grid there will no food delivered or even processed since vehicles will not be able to run. there will be no cell phones, television or any way to communicate with the public unless you have a short wave radio. people will go nuts raiding, pillaging and looting anything they can get their hands on to survive. if it happens in the winter people will freeze to death as there will be no fuel delivered or your electric heat will not work. bonfires will work for a while but not practical long term. bodies will be piling up everywhere and no one will come to take them away. chernobyl is not the same. no radiation with an EMP strike. you must realize how much we depend on the power grid to survive. it would take a year or more to fix it but by then it will be too late.Comment -
