No need, it's right.

>Doesn't want a strong nation
Fuck off you leftist cuck

>Eats guns

Not leftist, just aware of things like pic related

And yet 700 billion doesn't even touch the astronomic amounts of money we put into various welfare programs.

That 700B is only 20% of our budget. 60% of it is welfare.

Do you have a graphic or link showing full breakdown for people ITT to see?

You are making the assumption that the "US defence budget" is for the defence of the actual USA. It's the "defence of US interests budget" which means most of the planet. Maintaining an empire is ruinously expensive - It's why we got out of that game.

>t. cuck
A STONK America, is a GREAT America.

>Muh military spending

If you really think it's for the defence of USA. you are an idiot.

Who else will defend the world during the alien attack and get all the glory? I don't think 7 million under equipped chinamen and 700,000 gopniks will last that long

Those other countries spend less, but get relatively more 'bang for buck'

The pentagon seems to throw money around like nothing, and the US has to pay it's personnel relatively high wages compared to the countries on that chart.

Russia spends a relative pittance, but even some US strategists feel Russia could win a war with the US in certain scenarios.

There will come a time when the US just can't afford to pay so much. The military power can't be maintained without the economic power.. and the economic power can't be maintained with the education levels and people quality the US is generating of late. It can't go on forever.

At some point that debt will be revealed as unpayable.

>Defend this !!
I don't need to, that's what $600 million in military spending is for.

He calls it money laundering for a reason

>implying all that money goes to defense

Most of the money is laundered and sent to black projects, bribes, and personal bank accounts.

True. A significant portion are research projects that the government winds up selling to private industry.

The military is the largest R&D department ever.

I've personally seen several people wind up in prison for doing exactly that. You're an idiot.

This

Barely any of that money goes into our defense

So the purpose of the 600 and soon to be 700 BILLION is for making graphs showing you spend more than other world powers?

Britbong is right.

Colonies are a burden to the Empire's economy. People in latinamerica keep buying the old tale that Spain got rich because of mug silver and muh gold. When all it did was inflate the prices during in Europe.

As for the English empire, correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that you didn't spend a dime on your colonies.

The world is a dangerous place full of crazy motherfuckers. How can you argue against a government wanting to stock up and train to be the most powerful military on earth?

You're an idiot. Almost all of that money goes to defense projects. Whether competent workers are staffing those projects is another question.

But the money isn't disappearing into a black hole. Military grade equipment is just fucking expensive. And developing military grade equipment is a nightmare.

I meant "British Empire" sorry.

>18%
>Not a huge chunk of the budget
Social Security and Medicare are retarded but so is defence. If you want to cut those why not try to negotiate sacrifices of your own. After all if we halved the military budget we would still have a budget larger than the next two countries and could start paying off the national debt.

Of course that isn't an option after all what would happen if Boeing had to shut down some factories? Why some people might decide not to vote for us and some companies might stop giving us kickbacks.

This. The US subsidizes the military of half the world. We build shit just to let it collect dust for 5-10y and then sell it to other countries at a fraction of the cost.

Gotta be prepared to take on the whole world. That's what it means to be NUMBER ONE.

>69% of the money destined to social and security bs.

Fuck, my professor was right. Socialism won the ideology war.

That military budget is why you're capable of shit posting on the internet and why I can look at porn on my cell phone from my bathroom.

Most consumer grade tech was driven by some military acquisition.

Giving out free shit does not benefit society in a tangible way. People use that money to sit on their ass. At least with military spending you're seeing some physical or tangible benefit.

Because we as white people decided not to let people die in the streets.

The system works if you remove the ethnics dragging most of the monies.

>Defend this
Don't have to, the US defense budget will do it for me.
That is not why the British Empire declined.

Unfortunately there are plenty of white Americans abusing welfare as well. Its a cultural problem. We somehow made holding down a job and being a productive member of society a non-requirement.

You could blame our corporate culture that pays no loyalty to its employees.

>After all if we halved the military budget we would still have a budget larger than the next two countries

If you halve it, wages the same. That means with a budget of $300 billion, you now only have $160 billion to pay for operations, maintenance, procurement, research and development and construction. You'd have to dry dock entire carrier groups, scrap fleets of aircraft and sell off vehicles. You'd have to forget about any purchase and development of next generation weapons. You'd lose world dominance in a matter of months and become Chinese slave cucks.

Wow. Maybe Shillange has a point. Really makes me think.

>Yfw maintenance and operations triples because muh f-35 flying turd

Exactly, its one thing to be the biggest and best, but we waste it all, lose it all, or worse

You ever think the US gov't knows something the rest of the world doesn't? Maybe we're deterring or preparing for an alien invasion.

The consequences of actually draining the swamp could turn the entire world against us. We need our military to be as strong as possible.

Most of thats corruption and fraud OP

just because spend 10X more on a plane or tank doesnt make it 10X better. The F35 is a perfect example of what im talking about.

Trump could have drastically inscresed our military power while cutting the budget in half just by eliminate fraud and corruption through no-bid contracts. When he did not immediately aggressively pursue this it was the first telltale sign that the Jews in the MIC owned him.

Really makes you think.

I think he was perhaps a little too trusting but he definitely campaigned on making our military stronger which many interpreted as more expensive so few are upset - but they would be if they knew that the Defense budget was more or less planned by John McCain and his allies for the past 20 years including the one being debated now

Bump
Sure does, user

You wanted to replace the British Empire as the hegemony.

Deal with it.

Maybe leftists shouldn't neglect things when they're in charge.

While we're at it, we should stop subsidizing Europe's defense. That should save a bit.
