At the very least we should spend more than China and or Russia but this is ridiculous
How the fuck does anyone justify the United States military budget?
Israel's security from middle east, asia, russia.
are you retarded?
how much do you think it costs to be the worlds hyperpower hegemony capable of projecting naval, air and terrestrial power globally?
do you realize that one fully equipped aircraft carrier with supporting ships can subdue a major geographic region?
We can easily afford this because we're fucking rich you simpleton. As a % of GDP we don't actually spend a lot.
If there were not niggers and spics in this country the budget deficit would be zero without touching any military spending.
That's not to say there is no wasteful spending but fuck off you pussy bitch.
Needs to be bigger
it's recuperated in weapons sales
This, cut the gibs
Saving the world from sand people one Predator missile at a time.
You're welcome.
>how much do you think it costs to be the worlds hyperpower hegemony capable of projecting naval, air and terrestrial power globally?
We have allies and frankly, who cares what happens to the world?
>do you realize that one fully equipped aircraft carrier with supporting ships can subdue a major geographic region?
Do you know I don't care and just want to fix the shithole we have now at home?
>We can easily afford this because we're fucking rich you simpleton. As a % of GDP we don't actually spend a lot.
We are $20 trillion down the hole fucktard
>If there were not niggers and spics in this country the budget deficit would be zero without touching any military spending.
Yeah, so lets stop using this money and give it to them to fuck off
>That's not to say there is no wasteful spending but fuck off you pussy bitch.
Fuck you you complete NEOcon warmonger
Biggest chunk of budget goes to salaries, wages, and retirement pay
The empire doesn't run itself. It's funny how people stopped recognizing empires when empires stopped coloring their territory on the map. Who knew it could be that easy?
Military industrial complex
also known as corporate welfare
Everyone say FDR
How much and what territory is from the USA's empire, krautanon?
You don't stay the world's sole superpower by not spending a ludicrous amount of money on your military.
This.
We have some sweet clay to protect. I sleep soundly.
Fuck the world
>what is the earth
>you don't delude your slave populace by not spending your monopoly money on """research and development"""
ftfy
threadly reminder: china has developed a hypersonic glide vehicle for it's ICBMs before the USA
While I sort of agree, hang on
>We have allies and frankly, who cares what happens to the world?
If the entire world is overrun by a Chinese/Russian alliance, I'd really like to not be defenseless.
>Do you know I don't care and just want to fix the shithole we have now at home?
Same issue.
>We are $20 trillion down the hole fucktard
Debt between countries, especially major world powers, is not as easy as "less is better". Certain debt is not only not bad, it's desirable, and other countries are in no better shape than we are.
>Yeah, so lets stop using this money and give it to them to fuck off
You must be joking
>Fuck you you complete NEOcon warmonger
I agree warmongering too hard is pointless and wasteful, but the warchest pays for a lot more than you realize. It's basically "tech" expenditure, as these companies roll out thousands of patents and inventions a year.
I know that Germany definitely is with 35,000 American soldiers permanently stationed here. South Korea and Japan also.
>We have allies
Which is the main reason our spending is so high. We are responsible for the security of western Europe, Japan, and Korea. That shit is expensive.
>If the entire world is overrun by a Chinese/Russian alliance, I'd really like to not be defenseless.
Russia and China aren't stupid enough to actually go to war with the rest of the world and risk complete economic suicide
>Debt between countries, especially major world powers, is not as easy as "less is better". Certain debt is not only not bad, it's desirable, and other countries are in no better shape than we are.
You can spout Hamilton philosophy all you want but Hamilton said not a lot of debt, what we have is a lot of debt
>You must be joking
No. Give them money to fuck off back to their country and help make it grow and get away from us. 300 billion dollars is more than enough to tell every shitskin to fuck off
>I agree warmongering too hard is pointless and wasteful, but the warchest pays for a lot more than you realize. It's basically "tech" expenditure, as these companies roll out thousands of patents and inventions a year.
Yeah let's just go down in history as a warmongering nation, that's great.
point out that article in our constitution again
You need to protect Israel, goy.
>Yeah let's just go down in history as a warmongering nation, that's great.
whats the problem there
rule by force is the best way to go, when you're dealing with shit on a global scale
I'm not justifying it morally, just pointing out that our "allies" are often as not more like protectorates.
justify this? easy.
>nukes cost a lot, have thousands when the others barely 30
>half a dozen fleets with aircraft carriers and shit, other countries have one fleet at most and they suck.
>constantly deploying troops and bombing third world shitholes, bombs are actually expensive as fuck.
>pay for other people, when europoors go fuck up Africa the US is usually giving them ammo/intel/carrying shit because they don't have cargo planes
>contribute half the NATO budget
>massive R&D investments, others steal the tech later
>get scammed by manufacturers all the time
plus most other budgets are fake, Euro budgets are what the army costs in peacetime. when they go bomb something to pretend they're relevant again you can start tripling the numbers.
if you figure that at least 20% of servicable adults in the US are unemployed and our service secor is just recycling itself than you'll find our actual public sector is larger than the USSRs ever was
Because we were founded to be a neutral nation.
Imagine what the US army could do if it was used to target the enemies of the white people.
well, the rest of the world isn't neutral
and they want us to pick a side
so why not make your own side anf let the rest pick your side
you can start off as neutral, you can't stay it forever
Bretton Woods
>you can start off as neutral, you can't stay it forever
What about switzerland
I would rather waste it on the military than have it be spent spreading degeneracy
Go as your fella countrymen about why do they always elect warmonglers. You reap what you sow.
Security for global economy, postwar order, yadda yadda.
Personally? It pays the bills.
The US uses the rest of the world to enrich itself. Basically every country on earth save a couple malcontents who chafe in their leashes is a client state of the America empire.
The real reason is it a military force to be used to slaughter whites and implement the Goyim world order.
G-d gave them that money to protect ISRAEL!
Sounds like someone can't handle the freedom.
We pay for isreal and NATO too motherfucker.
USA is currently involved in several active conflicts.
That costs a lot of money.
China isn't currently involved in any conflicts, if they were they would probably spend 2 or 3 times as much.
>What about switzerland
Jewish protectorat on the rothschild side.
The USA is the savior and protector of the World.
>who cares what happens to the rest of the world?
Geez louise, Isolationism isn't feasible nor possible for reasons that have been shown over history.
Idk I enlisted in 05' and have been a contractor since 2013. We never seem to kill any white people.
If you mean by tormenting refugee crisis' or some shit.. uh.. don't let them in dude. Fuck em'. That's not on us, that's your people committing cultural suicide.
Israel is our greatest ally
If US spent only slightly more than China this would pretty much guarantee WWIII.
Having a dominant power in the global system is a stabilizing force. A system in which there are a bunch of smaller powers is a recipe for conflict between them in a competition to dominate.
People like to point to point to trashcanistans like Iraq and Syria etc as evidence that the world is unstable and that the US is a destabilizing force, but they don't understand geopolitics enough to realize that these shit countries don't matter and are nothing compared to an actual conflict between great powers.
We were and are meant to be the military arm and branch of the New World Order.
Things are not going....to plan.
*cough* Switzerland *cough*
Yup. Retards were getting all upset a few months back about some fantasy nuclear war with NK and wasting their breath hyperventilating about fallout and radiation. Real problem would be refugees. ROK and Japan, and prolly china, would be so fucked economically. The chinks don't keep troops on the border with Korea to help them in a war. They keep those troops up there to seal the motherfucker in case of war.
Same retards hyperventilating about a trade war with china... who literally depends on US markets to keep their economy from imploding. It's hilarious.
That's because you pay too much for old equipment.
China spends less but has more and better weapons for that amount.
Lmfao
More and better? More maybe, definitely more outdated shit, but better?
That's great. Tell anotherone.
We aren't Switzerland and it's not that simple.
Also they've bounced around protectionism and isolationism policies because they've been observing economic decline as a result.
Why does everyone spout this Switzerland meme?
>We can easily afford this because we're fucking rich
With antiquated and crumbling infrastructure and sub-standard drinking water
amazing
Because the Switzerland "Meme" works
China just steals designs from america and Russia gives them legacy cold war era shit to "refresh"
So no shit they're spending less in that regard. Just look at the j 20 program, a fraction of the f 22 price. With that they're able to spend money "reclaiming" islands
Define "works" because I think reality is about to kick in.
>We have allies
But Trump, though.
Thé problem to resolve the state of their’ country is more than money , the solution is genocide
>At the very least we should spend more than China and or Russia but this is ridiculous
The Jews need their war machine.
>this Michael Moore meme again
Our infrastructure is better than yours, brainlet.
lpi.worldbank.org
It only worked because the held everyone's money and kept the losing sides once the war was won. Hell even Hitler's sister got screwed out of $65 million.
Well the Europeans won't pay for their military since they'd rather babysit shitskins so we have to do it for them.
>We are $20 trillion down the hole fucktard
that's not how it works "fucktard"
>as percentage GDP we aren't spending much
strictly false
Do you know that Switzerland have been invaded many time , had to fight to keep is autonomy , and their main job was mercenary ?
Remember remeber you will always find the jewish defender.
You dumb fuck, the only reason you even have a shithole to fix is because your military is there backing your monopoly money 24/7. Remove the military and you won't survive the next bubble.
You are dumb
Only works because they can take advantage of trading with everyone around them.
False. The average German hasa better life than the average burger.
You're glowing.
Not to mention Switzerland in Afghanistan, not to mention that thier population is nowhere near U.S.
The lack of history and economics education that Americans have wounds me.
The same China that steals all their tech from us? Where are you even getting this shit from. Also x-37b. You're patently wrong.
How the fuck do Europoors manage to say such stupid stuff? You think the entire world is just going to magically stop trading with us? One of the largest consumer bases of the world? Going to stop trade, cooperation, and such? That's literally not how it works.
Look at us now, we're invading, spying, and destroying countless countries and people are still trading with us.
And we are going to take over space.
>it doesnt work like that when trump is president but when a democrat is in office we are in debt
kys
The USA secures the world you faggot. Why you think there are barely any wars, and reduced piracy? The USA .
WELL
The US wants to be militarily dominant in two theaters.
The pacific and the middle east. So the budget is really split in two. The US isnt outspending China by that much in the Pacific considering the Chinese can get a lot more done with the same amount of money due to lower wages etc.
As for the middle east, imagine Germany/ France and by extension the EU made common cause with Russia? The part of the American military budget dedicated to the middle east wouldnt look so large.
Because if there wasn't one, someone else would have their version of it.
Thats an embarrassment to the US. its so obviously a publicity stunt. Either you are already building space weapons or you wont begin just because of space force being announced.
Freedom. Get fucked commie, we need to raise it.
remember how great china was when it was isolated?
test
NATO.
Yeah, well we're also giving the krauts oil so they don't have to suck put Putin off as much so maybe they should be a bit less smug.
Also rapefugees are changing that, as I'm your YOUR aware mon ami.
People that honestly believe isolation means economic isolation are super fucking dumb.
>he lives in it and does not know
Germany only has a military on paper during nato exercises they have a broomstick mounted instead of machine guns. It's pretty sad our President has to tell them to pump more money into defense.
Gotta pay your welfare queens
>Russia and China aren't stupid enough to actually go to war with the rest of the world and risk complete economic suicide
Probably not Russia, but China absolutely would go to war if they felt they could win and secure their interests.
It's not about trade. In fact trade is not even that important for the US if you look at trade as a percentage of your GDP. It's about unloading your crazyass inflation onto other countries which you strongarm into buying and stockpiling (thereby taking out of circulation) your toilet paper bonds and just raw dollars. If not for that and several other equally illegitimate methods of control, you'd have gone the way of Weimar Republic a long time ago. And it's all made possible by the destructive and defensive potential your military has.
space marines and Ayys
>How the fuck does anyone justify the United States military budget?
No nukes used or major multinational world wars in over 70 years
Interesting that as soon as funding for bioweapons was secured the anthrax scare evaporated from consciousness.
That guy was either a brainlet or just wanted the common American to think like a brainlet. Nations, just like businesses, cannot run on friendship. There has to be guarantees and arrangements.
Predators is the drone.
The missile is called a hellfire
> doesnt realize what it costs to have a secret space force dominating from orbit
>loses to rice farmers with rifles
>loses every war he has fought alone in the last 150 years
Right, sweaty.
