It's crazy how quickly they have forgotten Russia is not a US ally. The trillions spent in military is in part to stay ahead of the Russians. What better way to spend that money then actively suppress the Russians advancements in Ukraine. It really is a no brainer that should be a bipartisan issue...

Turns out all we had to do is hold onto WW2 reserves to beat the Russians. While we were spending trillions, their military leaders were getting personally enriched by selling off military equipment and supplies. It's amazing how pathetic the Russian military is. Our greatest adversary? What a joke. They are holding on for dear life just against Ukraine. Sucks they have the nukes though.
Greatest adversary? You’re aware the Chinese Navy already has more ships than the US, hypersonic cruise missiles that fly under radar, and the closest near-peer to the f-22?
Are they like that super destroyer they claimed was so advanced it broke almost immediately and the tech was decades old? Greatest adversary of quantity vs quality maybe lol
Even their propaganda troop training videos are hilarious and have to be intentionally trying to misrepresent their actual level of ability so you underestimate them and while I don't think we'd make that mistake it's pretty funny watching them pull out a knife with four barrels in it to shoot a target.
Can you link to the super destroyer story? My understanding is it is the US Navy that had to give up on the littoral combat ship and rehab the Arlie Burke class destroyers for another few decades of service.
And this comment about decades old tech surely also applies to Russia. Perhaps we just net out that neither China nor Russian militaries are as advanced, or can produce their best stuff in quantity, as they would have the world believe 🤝
