WHAT new threat? Who is this boogieman that we are preparing for?So would you rather not have the means of defense against the new threats and technology and be left defenseless?
There doesn't have to be a war for you to prepare or defend for a war. That's what helps prevent the war. If you have no defense or offense for a war what is stopping a country that does?
Constantly being in a training camp means to stay ready so you don't have to get ready.
There isn't some secret Wakandan nation that is going to pop up that we need to worry about invading us. This shit is just nonsense. All of our "wars" are not wars. There is not a "war" between America and Afghanistan, it's just us bombing the shit out of smaller countries.
Instead of wasting all of this money on bombs, it would be better served at building and strengthening ties.
As much as people fearmonger about 'globalists", we are all already heavily connected at the hips through our economies. It is none of our interests to go to world war, and likely, any real wars between real powers are going to be via the economy and politics.
That doesn't mean spend nothing on defense, but this nonsense should not be a priority. We spend entirely too much money on the military and then ignore a lot of the other things that are more pressing.
