Israel–Hamas War: 10/7/2023 - Present
- Thread starter TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?
- Start date
Expenses are not the same as investment opportunities but you spend on both. You refuse to see from a perspective that isn't your own. Understand their motivations don't agree with them but see how they move like they do. Saying is money is money is missing the point. These are not excuses. I'm giving you the rationality behind their decision making.
Not everything we communicate here is about what we feel personally. Don't look at this like I'm telling you what they do is right or wrong. I'm telling you why they do it. I see a discrepancy in the understanding behind the spending based on the comparisons.
At the root of it is your capitalistic society. If America were to pivot to spending more at home and less abroad you would be surprised at how many people would cry about socialism once they start to see dwindling returns on foreign investment. Less contracts for military shyt and more for domestic incentives, less global dominance and influence. Military spending drives your country and is a direct factor in its position in the world. Understand that you can't have it both ways. Not with capitalism behind the wheel

It's not rational to spend as money as we do on military.
It costs millions to test a single missile and we fire thousands of them at rocks every year.
Hundreds of millions of bullets at $100's/each at those same rocks as well.
And the fuel to fly heavy vehicles to those sites, fly back back to reload then fly there again to shoot at them same rocks some more.

Exactly. That's the problem.
Israeli's can't separate going after Hamas only. They gotta take down ALL of Palestine. Innocent people as well who don't even fukk wit Hamas like that.
Our military budget being greater than the next 10 highest countries military spending budgets is beyond retarded. But that's what Dwight Eisenhower was saying with the military industrial complex being out of control (and that was back in the late 50s).
How so? When that is the reason you dominated the world since taking centre stage in global relevancy during the world wars. Which other country has military bases all over the world. You think they don't get that money back? When the American dollar could damn near be spent anywhere. Stop sleeping man.

I'm pretty dang sure we don't need that many bases which drive up maintenance spending (where most of the U.S military spending goes).
We got ballistic missiles, nuclear capable subs and a whole lot of nukes.
If you got a nuclear deterrent, you're deterring. Seems to be working great for the other countries in 2023, with significantly less spending. shyt, it deters us.
You don't need much more than nukes and making it known you'll use them - and countries know we'll use every single last one in our arsenal to win a war.
That's why we got center stage. All that other shyt ain't scaring anybody.
In 2023 if we didn't have nukes and only had a Navy/Air Force with rockets and bombs nobody would be scared of us.
They'd simply blow up our ships and bases.
However, countries are scared of us because they know if that were to happen or they attack U.S soil those nukes would be flying in and we got many many many more than they do. That's the only thing that really matters in modern warfare and that don't take hundreds of billions to a trillion dollars of maintenance fees to sustain year after year.
Let's put it this way: China, Russia and the U.S know we can blow each other clean off the map already. Nukes would be the first and last option. None of this other fancy bullshyt. If they declared war right now we'd all be gone in 15 minutes. All these other weapons and shyt are basically ways to flex to the world what excess there are. It's basically a bunch of expensive mean-mugging and face-fighting. Don't need it.

It just hit me.
We still don't have a house speaker also right?

And it's not because they're building more and better military tech, they're over charging ridiculously..remember dikk Cheney company selling $90.00 hammers that normally cost 10 bucks to the military during the Iraq war.
Will the US Navy disappear overnight?
China ain’t bringing shyt to our doorstep. How much money you getting paid to shill?
Struggled where? We’ve decisively engaged and defeated every enemy Army we’ve faced. Military loss does not equal geopolitical loss. DPRK got pushed to China’s border and needed the PLA to help force a stalemate, NVA and Vietcong waited til US Forces left due to unpopular war otherwise most battles were US military victories. We didn’t surrender like France. US dismantled Saddam’s Military twice. Pulled that fakkit out of a hole and hung him the second time. Iraq is still somewhat of a stable democracy. Afghans Army ran after US ousted the Taliban and they hid until we decided to leave. What are you on about?
exactly. shyt is pathetic. and this is what my tax dollars pay for????
The Israelis don’t want to fight a war on two fronts though. Hezbollah is up north and much stronger than they were in 2006.
You're also covering for a failed F-35.
