We spend $858 billion a year on “national security,” while millions are not secure in their homes, secure in their jobs, secure they’ll get healthcare if they get sick, or secure that they will have enough food to eat, clean water to drink, or clean air to breathe. We need a radical reassessment of what the phrase “national security” should mean. It’s not enough to know another country won’t do you in, if all manner of things right here at home just might.

More people could use that money to survive than the people blowing others up with tanks. I love the US military and how they defend our nation trust me but they’re way overfunded considering that we barely need defense anymore. Although China may attempt to retaliate, so idk.

Fight economic inequalities is the best way to increase the security you said

Another important measure is language. National security keeps us from having to speak Russian or Chinese.

So why do you support the US/ nato proxy war? You believe the official WH narrative on this one but not the others? 🤡

It’s refreshing to see someone running for president who is willing to discuss the issues I care about.
