MAGA Wants to Cut Defense

[CowboyTed]

If you look back in retrospect, it was very obviously a very bad decision. We lost a democratic country in an important area and now Ukraine may lose their democracy and we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to a nuclear WWIII than if we had just stayed in Afghanistan.

Are you serious....

You seriously haven't fucking clue how Putin thinks... Putin had Trump under the thumb.

Trump was trying to weaken NATO and possibly pull out of it in a second term...

Biden has shown how strong NATO is when America engages with its allies...

What Biden did to get EU support will go down in history as a masterclass in soft diplomacy... Biden has EU leading the fight in a war, pure genius... This is the same people that laughed at Trump behind his back... Trump was scum in Europe, he was consider an international joke, he sucked up to dictators and anyone who stroked his ego.

Trump was a disaster...

Like all government agencies, the military is wrought with waste

The word you were looking for is not "wrought". The word should be "fraught".

Yes cut defense spending.
The US spends more than the next 10 countries combined.
We can't afford extravagance. Especially when dumbfuk leaves $86b in AFG for the Taliban.
Your data is from the 1970s

No, my data is from right the fuck now. My daughter is an Army officer and she went to Iraq with forklifts older than she is, and they were broken down constantly, requiring parts be shipped from the US.

Biden being a dumbass has nothing to do with it.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

cut out private contractors....remove them totally...

Explain how you would do that? You want to nationalize all defense contractors?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

well being a trump supporter is not a good look...

Being a liberal's first sign is the ability to be so ugly as to make a freight train take a dirt road.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Maybe by their location? I assume we can block foreigners from accessing the US internet.

Where is Ft Bragg? I don't think that installation exists anymore...

It is being renamed Fort Liberty, but I don't think they have officially changed the name, but it will soon happen.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

the name change is concerning to my friends and i....do we need new birth certificates? i was born at womack at ft bragg....now what?

My daughter was born at a Navy hospital now closed. My son was born at a naval hospital that is now an Air Force hospital. The state issues the birth certificate. so why would it matter?.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That's true, in the sense that many installations use civilian DOD police at entry gates.

But they are still government employees.

No. They are contracted employees, not government employees.

MAGAts have always hated veterans.

They also hate ethics since they are gutting the OCE. What are they so afraid of? Accountability?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So you rather US Personal die in combat taking back all that Benedict Donald gave away in Afghanistan in 2020. How many US servicemen and women would you have sacrificed for Russia?

The Neo-GOP and Russia certainly got Biden and Nato's response the Russian invasion of Ukraine wrong.

That's a strange nickname for President Biden.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

There are some areas that the spending could be refined and improved...

Example, Aircraft are becoming less important to drones and 3d printers...

US should be looking at Drone carriers as they are cheaper to deploy...

Millitary can save money, saying that the Ukraine war is the bang for buck war US has got in in century.
This war is costing fractions of Iraq or Afghan... No Casualties and it is putting the worlds largest problem to peace in the corner.
Make no mistake Putin is a very real danger, he is a criminal with ambitions of an expanded Russia very close or including NATO...

China has ambitions but they mainly just want money and know that access to markets is there lifeblood...
If a TPP(US included) and EU Deal was in place China will do what they are fucking told. Any stepping out of line would mean sanctions on delivering them raw materials... Ditto for Brazil, India... just in case.. Russia would find it a lot harder to find customers too..

The Russians have proven that drones can take on certain missions. but the Ukrainians are having a field day shooting them down.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yep, I do. Far too many people like you but I do what I can.

Then again, in my state 2.4 million people voted for a lower that had no chance to win the state, and that is all that matters

lower?

The future is drones...

Ukraines where having a field shooting down aircraft...

The Russians Have Lost Nearly 300 Aircraft Over UkraineâMostly Drones

Ukrainian troops have brought down 278 Russian aircraft in the eight months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine starting in late February, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, said last week.

www.forbes.com

So far Ukraine has shot down 430 drones Russia has used in conjunction with the missile barrages. Most of these drones are believed to have been Iranian made.

Ukraine Shoots Down 11 Iranian Drones In Latest Russian Barrage

As Russia launched its 10th large-scale missile attack on Ukraine Thursday, it also used Iranian-made drones to try to overwhelm Kyiv’s air defenses.

Drones are cheap... Russia can afford to loose way more drones.

Financial toll on Ukraine of downing drones âvastly exceeds Russian costsâ

Analysis reveals cost of shooting down cheap drones, but experts say deployment is sign of Moscow’s weakness

www.theguardian.com

It is more costly to shoot them down than they cost to make...

Drones especially cheap ones swarming could be far more deadly... That's why I said 3d printers might be more important... Make them in on ship and deploy... Could have numerous designs while using that same motor...

Scary warfare... Much less consequences for attacking side..

LOL, the immediate reversal of your core dem beliefs is so amusing to watch.

I can tell you failed economics 101 because you were too busy assuming you knew what you were talking about.

That's a strange nickname for President Biden.

Even stranger still is that Biden wasn't President in 2020 when the Doha Accords were implemented and "Donnie Dangerously" gave away all the goodies in the Candy store for free. "Zippy" did it deliberately to hamstring the next Administration. Here's "The Don" bragging about it during his first Rally after losing the election.

"How about that? Worse than Afghanistan, where, by the way, I started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process.

Donald Trump: (22:53)
21 years is enough. Don’t we think? 21 years. They couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process when other things…yeah. Thank you. Thank you."

When did MAGA become anti-military appeasers?

Possibility of defense spending cuts after McCarthy deal divides GOP

"We got a $32 trillion debt. Everything has to be on the table."

“Everything is on the table”

Why do you lie?

Democtats have sought to destroy the military for drcades, and now - after putting hand-picked douche bags like Milley in place,tbey have all but succeeded.

No one wants to defund the military - they want to defund the mandatory CRT, Transgender programming, funding for abortions / trans-surgeries, and liberal indoctrination bullshit.

Yes, you could. The Chinese do it, more or less, the Russians do it.
The big problem is the US has FREEDOM OF SPEECH.... so..... can't do.

Milley was nominated for JCS by Trump, dumbass!

"He was appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by President Donald Trump, making Milley the tenth U.S. Army officer to be chairman. As chairman, Milley is the highest-ranking officer in the United States Armed Forces and the principal military advisor to the president of the United States, the secretary of defense, the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council."
