Can Anyone Tell Me Why It Is So Essential To Increase Defense Spending Over The Near Term?

[Missourian]

They're gonna take the land route?

To where?

You're worried about aircraft carriers and hypersonic missiles.

I'm worried about shipping containers and our porous border.


What does the balloon trick tell us about the enemy?

That they understand that we are hyper-focused on high tech threats...and almost ignore low tech threats.

Why not simply IMPORT their weapons instead of shooting them into the stratosphere?

Why invade the old fashion way...when we'll just --- let you in?

The Military today is just another form of mutually assured destruction.

China...you pull that trigger...you better be sure.

Executive bonus time for war machine contractors.

 

[Mac-7]

No we aren't...
Our proxies are supplying "obsolentent" gear, proving plenty good enough.
We are getting a remarkably cheap way to battle test some of our systems.

Maybe so

But weapons stockpiles are being depleted that we will need in the future

If there was EVER a time to re-examine how addicted we are to spending enormous sums of money on things that go boom, surely it would be now.

Our historical foe is crippling itself, burning through its vast arsenal at an accelerating rate.

They will have to rebuild their military asset base, while under international sanctions. This will be enormously expensive, and will take a decade.

/——/ Tell those socialist countries you adore to build their own military and defend themselves. Then we can reduce our military spending.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Where are we gonna fight China?

No where. China does not want to take over the world with their military, they are doing it economically while we are wasting trillions on invading countries no threat to us

 

[Mac-7]

While Taiwan, Japan and S. Korea serve them drinks?

Taiwan and Japan are fully committed to opposing chinese aggression

South Korea is still on the fence because of not wanting to provoke their largest trading partner

Golfing Gator is uninformed as usual

10 years ago china was rolling along economically

But not anymore

And anyone reading the news who believes in a world not dominated by China gets why, Alfalfa

Serious waste and fraud. Unfortunately nobody wants to fix it. Congress needs to reign in the bloat. Too many useless Generals and such. Ax you DEI Commissars. Find the waste or face automatic budget cuts until you do.

With the way the world is now it's obvious why we need to stay on top.

You believe Red Dawn is based on a true story....

Do you know who makes the front line fighter jet on which the Chinese one is based?

 

[The5thHorseman]

No where. China does not want to take over the world with their military, they are doing it economically while we are wasting trillions on invading countries no threat to us

They can only go as far as they can move it.

So how do the chicoms get that carrier into the Pacific?

Post your sources, Scrappy..

There's no one even close

 

[Mac-7]

So how do the chicoms get that carrier into the Pacific?

I think that carrier cannot defend itself in the Pacific

It needs to operate closer to china

 

[The5thHorseman]

I think that carrier cannot defend itself in the Pacific

It needs to operate closer to china

But the purpose of a carrier is to project power.

It is not optimized for coastal defense or amphibious landings.

Sure, what are you claiming is wrong exactly? You think China is a benevolent country that believes in the woke agenda?

Its an old and inferior design
