    Maintaining nuclear assets and a technological advantage requires money.

    Maintaining the ability to actually project power overseas requires money.

    Both of these are a key part of American deterrence strategy. Its not a left/right policy to fund the military. Its about why you’re funding it and the dems were funding it for the goal of maintaining global security which is a left wing liberal idea. You can’t put your head in the sand and ignore geo politics.

      Soft power is much more important these days.

      And here we are exactly showing the rachet effect, its entirely a right wing position to continually increase funding for the military. Especially when its clearly just being used to increase profits for defense companies not safety.

      This is you the entire thread/discussion.
