I was talking about Eisenhower fuck and his ""military industrial complex"
Fuck russia
Its irrelevant
oh no, what if Russia starts spending their own money policing areas we used to have to deal with
Boogeyman Russia
China is the real enemy
the horror
What does Russia have to do with us? Unless it's a treatied Ally I don't see any reason to care what Russia is doing
same
Not my country
Who is arguing against that in here?@randomNPCno3
@Troye - I'll concede that the military bolsters an immense budget that demands more auditing to ensure funding is allocated responsibly to necessary programs. There's alot of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse that absolutely should be held to account. However, it's a separate argument. It's better to highlight the budgetary cuts and shortfalls to programs that require funding rather than pointing a finger at the military industrial complex.
The hypothetical person that would claim we're traitors
Honestly I don't get why we're friends with the Saudis but Russia is bad
Fucking auditing by people who dont know what the military needs. ffs
I would rather buy oil from the Russians if we have to buy it at all
Yeah no
Don't know what you're getting at
Saudi's crude output is considerably higher than Russia's - we've also been trade partners with em since before the Cold War.
@Louis - Internal auditing - more from entities that understand the budget such as the IG
How the fuck would that work?
Oh you dont need that ammo right now
Saudi keeps its position at the top because of us knocking their rivals out of the game
You need a missle right now
but only one
Same way it normally does. Having a designated entity review the fiscal year budget allocations and determine which areas are irresponsibly spending to maintain their annual quota.
Thats called congress
Or it would be
So fail
Nah, this is more practical application. Alot of military orgs have departments that are provided with an annual budget. That org or unit will furiously purchase bullshit before the fiscal year close-out to ensure they receive the same quantity the following year.
Point is - you can absolutely increase internal auditing to ensure a healthy budget is being promoted
Having an audit every year would mean less research into expiremental tech and less stuff altogether
We had shit like this is 1880
And we suffered for it
Mauser action? nope
Not so much - there's entire divisions dedicated to R&D. I would advocate for financing auditing agencies to reclaim lost funds. Could easily allocate that funding to more relevant projects, or scale back to other govt programs.
Single load
Cheaper because muh audit
This literally made the us less advanced than the rest of the world
