With China and Russia preparing it's militarys for wars and building and more weapons gotta be safe😎
When you allow the complex to grow, it now controls the Presidents. And the need to demonise others to justify spending. A vicious cycle. That budget could be used for health and education in US.

Don't make us weak
7:40… I hear you.. but I would also argue that excess will lead to, if not failure, a lack of purpose. I would also argue the Taliban do not have that lack of purpose. Neither do the Kurds

Thank you
Well said.
Israel tells US what to do even stopping de-nucleraziation in North Korea. Trump is like USA citizens – owned by Zionists and pals in congress.
So, assuming the big powers are not going to go to war, for all the reasons they say … the shark and the elephant scenarios … then why are we doing all this military spending and focus on war in the US? I think it has to be to keep the people down, and the current power structure in place … it is a big fake, like our idea of democracy is. It keeps people working, it keeps people from complaining, it keeps people out of the political sphere, or at least a real democracy. It is used to scare our own people, not China … China has its own people it wants to scare, and its own system to stabilize in its own way.
The U S has lied so many times that there can be no more trust from the world. They should have to answer for war crimes. 800 bases tells you they working for world dominance.
Due to the US Dollar Standard, the US does NOT bear the cost of its foreign military spending.
You have been making enemies out of China, Russia, N Korea, Iran, Syria and many other countries which do not follow your orders and directions. You are acting like a DICTATOR! What do you expect these countries should them? Willingly to become your lackeys? Together these proud and independent countries would unite and sink you!!!
DC is looking for and manufacturing escalation, next big war will be on American soil… better get that wall if you get the hint… disgusting how DC is playing with our lives and future.
Evil america, no sleeping well and stop crying..
Seven hundred billions or trillions dollars nothing can do except propoganda..
Half of the money is corrupt
One harsh fact that most "progressive" Americans do not want to face is that Americans are just on average way more war-hawk than Chinese. The West has on the whole an inherently expansion mentality, and the United States is the most renowned result of it. Chinese throughout its long history remain a largely "stay-at-home" people, and understand the danger of military much better.
Every Chinese with a bit of formal education must have learned at school one of those classical Chinese poems or texts that lament the perils of wars. In contrast, you don't see American schools teaching those anti-military messages.
USA: I go yang
China: fine. I go ying
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
via verifiable and verified information, the u.S. military cannot be trusted – 11:44 am hours Pacific Standard Time on Friday, 29 March 2019 by the financially insolvent and financially insecure and financially troubled u.S. military veteran Max Rafael Waller who is still employable
My United States Of America has become weaker under Trump to the point where china and Russia are actively holding joint military exercises. Grenada in the Caribbean Russian operatives attended a closed session to gain drilling rights at the protest of the presiding ministers. Around the same time many earth quakes happened in the region in 2017.
My back yard two military monolithic societies Russia and China know that the Oil coming out of ground in Venezuela is The Sweetest of all crude oils outside of Nigeria minimal refining from the ground to the tank.
America no longer has any "National" interest. Her budget and foreign policy more accurately reveal a National disinterest to the point of hostile neglect. A State of perpetual fealty to the global hegemony interest of her corporate overlords.
And we still can't defeat the Taliban or ISIS.
Trump is keeping his promises – Bringing back Manufacturing to America by Manufactured Wars for the Weapons Manufacturers.
The military industrial complex robbing The nation of it's wealth.
The Left talks about the Koch brothers the way the Right used to talk about the Rockefeller brothers. The more things change, the more things…
The Trump situation, spiraling out of control, will not get better. Only one person can fix this mess, and that person currently has no incentive to do so, for all eyes on Trump = focusing on the problem.
Consider this:
If Trump is the Devil's right hand man, who can defeat him?
If Trump is the Devil himself, who can defeat him?
Col. Wilkerson is right on most things, but on competition with China, he's wrong. Cooperation with China would have been much smarter, and more rewarding than competition. Cooperation beats competition almost every time.
Our Humongous military and budget are not for defence . The size of it wasn't even needed in the US corporate run governments wars for resource . The size and budget of the US military for the benefit of arms manufacturers , military service providers , and filthy rich men who invest in it and keep profiting from it to feed their wealth addiction . These are Trump , republican and many in the democrat party's cronies .
The military budget and the size of the US military is a vicious moral obscenity on the US taxpayers to the whole human race . If the military budget and current size were cut by 50% The US military would still be larger than the next 7 largest militaries combined . And half of those are our allies including genocidal , cutting off heads of : having sex out of wedlock(while in the palaces of the House of Saud is whoring with hundreds of females) , criticising the House of Saud , drinking a beer or two, etc House of Saud .
It is high time we cut the military at the very least by half and "beat those swords in ploughshares " meaning : national infrastructure repair and development , medicare for all , public education from k-12, two and four year colleges and universities and for PhD, M.D.s, D.Os etc ; and making public all vital goods and services including banking .
In addition , those in the 8 figures of US dollars all the way up to the billionaires should pay income and wealth tax starting at 50% after first million dollars and progressing higher when you get into the 9 figures to billionaires . THIS IS NOT ROBBERY . These people have made their fortunes off the intellectual workers to the labor workers increasingly hard work for less pay and longer inhuman work weeks . Noblesse Oblige = From those who have much , Much is expected back to the society you made your fortunes off of .
Extremely good analysis.
That money should have been spent on moon dases and trips to the moon and into moon lava tubes ! China will do a population on in moon lava tubes first and take the moon thrn return and take the world using moon technology before moving on to mars and out on to other moons in our systems and astroid mining
Remember the folly of the ussr. This arms production thing is a waste of money.
War Games, you have to love it!
These people are getting paid very well for their time, which they spend playing games. One group pretends to be the adversary, and they spend millions simulating outcomes to their own agression. I'm sure the big boys from the industrial cabal come to play from time to time to simulate World's End. It's all good fun. You ought to try it sometime!
Trump is a bully, all he knows. He is a just a wind bag, luckily he has the attention span of a twitter
China must be able to defend itself. But the only good defense is a good offensive arsenal capable of taking down most of the USA's major cities and military bases near and far from the Chinese coastline.. China must be ready for WW111 now not a few years from now. China wants peace to develop and raise its population above the poverty line but the US is constantly asserting its military power and demanding its allies and neutral states to toe its line and in containing China. You only have to look what is happening to Venezuela to know who the evil empire.
The bigger they are the harder they fall.
In the past they use to make weapon to make wars but know we make wars to produce arms !!!
