US removing 2500 troops is announced the same week as a $713B defense budget & $23B arms sale to UAE. “Create this shiny thing over here so they won’t look over there!” Troops in Afghanistan is a symptom; deeper cause is a perpetual war machine to which both parties are beholden

Sorry I support you but I disagree with you on this one thing. We need a bigger military budget we can’t let China or India ever put compete us. We need to continue being a formidable force and ally.

China has 22,000 miles of high-speed rail & 22,000 under construction. They are crushing us in ways that go way beyond military & thinking a bigger military will fix it is the oldthink we have to let go. Notice how they drew your attention from the Middle East to India and China!

Yep. They also have a much smaller defense budget and they don't have bases all over the world. Then, they mind their own business and don't try to force the world into being their clones.
