Something that are on short supply and with huge demand globally.
Because military industry isn't about commercial supply.
or demand
Why don't you actually serve markets where the purchase pays for the product, instead of US tax payer?
it's about being able to blow the other guy up
IIRC, someone was arguing that the military budget WASN'T Bloated
within the last month or two
You can use free markets to benefit the military industry, but they're not required for it. It's a separate thing that is necessary.
@leavethisbotnet And you aren't convinced that USA has the nuclear capability to destroy human life on this planet five times over already without further investment in weapons?
SSSR had it w/o free markets
not from the nukes alone
but maybe the fallout might?
Fallout or nuclear winter and lack of sunlight and food.
You can't just nuke your opponents, most of the time
people caring about civilian losses.... smh
So you aren't happy with amount of weapons until you can shoot every country to pieces without nukes, because reasons. It's not enough that you are bigger than how many... three(?) next biggest armies **COMBINED**?
Being bigger counts for something, but it's by far not any guarantee. Look at Russia in WW1
Why give money to military complex then, if being bigger doesn't make you better?
It's a never-ending sinkhole of money.
And you admit being bigger isn't even better.
You may have 20 nuclear CVs, but if you lag behind technologically and the enemy can blow them up within first month of the conflict, they're not of much use.
Development costs money.
US military expenditure is far from efficient
that's true
If you have a war between nuclear states, that's been going on for a month, and the nukes haven't been detonated on enemy soil, then the nukes deserved to be taken off by enemy air attacks.
I think there are better ways to keep private military companies afloat than to give money to Israel...
I really cannot imagine a scenario where some foreign power went to destroy nuclear launch sites on USA, and USA didn't nuke the country destroying the launch sites.
Some Israelis were complaining that the money prevents them from developing their own industry.
Which is true.
A lot of anti-rocket tech was live tested in Israel quite thoroughly. Tech that the US has, because Isreal wasn't able to do their own thing.
Don't get me wrong, the counterarguments certainly have their merit too.
I'm just arguing the side that I felt was not represented well.
