Why Jow Forums?
There is no credible threat
Yet America maintains a worldwide network of bases and forward deployed forces
It is involved in dozens of inconsequential brush wars that are exacerbated by its presence in other countries
And lets be honest, the F-35? The V-22? The America class LHA and San Antonio LHD? You're not getting the best bang for your buck as you just give the Pentagon buckets of money with no limitations. If they had to make hard financial choices they'd reign in that bullshit.
American military spending: 1 trillion a year
Perhaps if the US was weaker then there would be more threats.
> 1 trillion in spending on military for US
proofs or FUCK OFF
To rule the World.
>Perhaps if the wife beater didn't abuse his wife and children there would be others doing it instead
$750 Billion a year. Why??? Because we want to win... Winning costs.
I'm sorry I have made a mistake
Its not 1 trillion
Please forgive me
Its 1.09 trillion

1.09 trillion
They are already updating the F-22 for modern warfare capabilities. Updating the F-22 is not what should concern you, what should concern you are the next generation of aircraft.
Maintaining US military dominance ensures that there never is a credible threat. Peace only works when it is negotiated through a position of strength. Ronald Reagan, and Danrys Stormborn...
>if we just keep antagonising conflicts and spreading war and causing more death and destruction
>and shoveling more money into the gaping maw of the defence contractors
>we will be safe
>>There is no credible threat
China is a massive threat and sooner or later we will go to war. Just a matter of time.
>>give the Pentagon buckets of money with no limitations.
The U.S Empire will end when the dollar reserve hegemony goes bust which is still a ways off because there is simply no better alternative at the moment. America is in the middle east mostly because the Gulf States Petro reserves are helping prop up the dollar.
Most right leaning Americans would like to be out of Europe and have detente with Russia but the shitlibs and Jews are making that impossible.
So basically the system isn't going to change until there's another world war or the current financial system dominated by the U.S ends.
>China is a massive threat and sooner or later we will go to war. Just a matter of time.
>our biggest trading partner is a major threat
>the country that spends 1/5th of what we spend on the military is a major threat
>the country we have encircled with military bases is a major threat
>the country with no forward deployed forces is a credible threat
And then after this, you go on about the fiat currency federal reserve conspiracy
So you believe that China is a threat
And America is being destroyed by Jews
You have been successfully brainwashed by two competing and opposed propaganda campaigns
And simultaneously believe and repeat them in a classic example of Doublethink
>There is no credible threat
because america spends 1 trillion a year on their military
>Perhaps if the wife beater didn't abuse his wife and children she would be acting like a degenerate western whore.
>>our biggest trading partner is a major threat
Yes a $700B trade deficit with a Communist Dictatorship who regularly boasts that their goal is ultimately to supplant the U.S. China has been conducting aggressive espionage in the military and industrial sectors for decades.
>>the country that spends 1/5th of what we spend on the military is a major threat
Chinas economy will someday surpass the U.S and eventually they will be spending comparable amounts in GDP if not more. You also assume expenditure directly translates to effectiveness which is not necessarily true. The Chinese are developing land based missiles that can strike aircraft carriers as well as lower cost stealth aircraft.
>>And then after this, you go on about the fiat currency federal reserve conspiracy
No conspiracy. How do you think they afford a $700B military budget? If there were an alternative reserve currency none of this would be possible. It is all based off debt and dollar fiat and if you think the U.S is in the middle east out of the kindness of their hearts you are a retard.
>>And America is being destroyed by Jews
Americas support for Israel is a huge problem and one of the biggest factors in our continuing involvement in these ME wars along with oil of course. Only a fucktard would deny this.
because otherwise we couldn't fund the jewish MIC and put taxpayer dollars in kike company's pockets
>thats specious reasoning

>the beatings will continue until morale improves
Allah willing beatings will continue until all degenerates are dead.
You gotta remember, our budget is basically the global security budget. Why do you think all these faggit Germans are so mad?
its short scale trillion. americans invented it to make their numbers look bigger to others who use long scale. their frail egoes need that boost. american trillion is european billion and their billion is milliard here
A massive part of that is NATO spending, ask Europe why they need nuclear defense shields and why they won't just accept their Russian overlords?
>global security budget
you're not providing security
you are destabilising more and more of the world and causing more and more conflict and dirty wars faught by special forces, mercenaries, proxies, and drones
this is hurting, killing, and antagonising countless people
and causing more conflict
because everybody knows if you throw more money at your enemy, they'll loose.
>America pays for NATO
No, this is retarded
>nuclear defense shields
The missile defense shield is an aggressive weapon
It puts the USA in a position where it can threaten a country with a first strike and be confident it can survive the retaliatory strike
>Russian overlords
desiccated job not capable of anything
They are a threat, but I wouldn't say they're a "massive" one. Economically, we're tightening a noose around their neck as we speak, and militarily, they're a sitting duck.
worldwide hegemony
It's to protect the globalist world order. If anyone goes against globalism then the US will invade (unless you have nukes) or try to subvert and overthrow. The US are the ones that are spreading degeneracy.
Let's have a war and find out... We wiped Iraq off the map in 2 weeks... They had the 3rd strongest military in the world, Imagine what we'd do to any cucked europoor nation.
>we wiped out a military made up of dispirited conscripts equipped with ancient hand me downs, no C3, no air force, no air defence
wow
that's tough
how'd the insurgency go btw?
oh yeah and no credible deterrent
China has very serious social and economic problems but they are the greatest threat to U.S hegemony and there's no question about that.
They have an extensive nuclear deterrent, unlimited reserves of manpower, a heavy industrial base and are aggressively expanding their influence in Africa and Central/S. America. They are nationalist fanatics and are playing a long game to erode U.S influence and economic power. Their goal is push the U.S out of Asia just like the other colonial powers and eventually they will probably succeed.
Regarding foreign dynasties in China that is an example of their resilience if anything. China has always had an extraordinary capacity to absorb, assimilate or expel any foreign groups that invade and they have maintained their unique ethnic and cultural identity for longer than any other group. The U.S on the other hand is deeply divided and is no longer unified by either an identity or coherent ideology so if anything I would assume the Chinese would be more likely to endure than a country like ours.
bcoz teh MIC doesn't support itself, faggot —
it needs teh MONEY, and LOTS OF IT
For power and security.
It isn't cheap.
That's like asking why a bear has no predators. It's the biggest fucking thing in the forest.
>what's a false analogy
One blade drawn keeps the others sheathed.
kek
because americans think have military equipment is more important than having the industry to make military equipment
