Bipartisan support for a $24B amendment to the defense budget. No one should delude themselves that our exit from Afghanistan means the US war machine is slowing down. cnn.com/2021/09/01/politics/…

The money is for "additional submarines, planes and combat vehicles." Excuse me, for what? For where? For why? Not that we don't trust you guys or anything...

Correction: we're not stupid. But there's a difference between a "robust" military, & one that's twice as big as any other in the world yet clearly has no particular strategic success during three wars in a row. Does more to hurt us in relation to those countries than to help us.

What comparison?? Uh, the Taliban is back? That Right and Left agree that Vietnam and Iraq wars were huge failures and big mistakes?
