I mean Russia and China and their little friends, who are obviously opposed to our current world hierarchy with us as the dominant world power with no equals. "Axis of evil" was tongue in cheek. You can put whatever tag lines you want on it, doesn't quite matter who's ideology is correct. We are here, they are there.

Seems like person after person, like trump, and M johnson get classified briefings and move much more hawkish on China and Russia. Of course, that is because our intelligence agencies want war, I know, I know.

The point is that you can't say you support the admin spending more to fight them and then argue our admin is somehow opposing "globalism"

At that point, our admin is the biggest "globalist" on earth.

Or, to really get to my point, "globalism" is a term that actually has no meaning.

I'm not sure I follow, or if I'm even in disagreement with you... I never used the word globalism. I don't think that word has much meaning nowadays, it's just used as some type of ambiguous catchall bogeyman last decade.

There has to intel that China is preparing and planing to make a move against the US.

Read the tea leaves
-Action in Venezuela was for national security and oil which is national and economic security
-moving to acquire Greenland for national and economic security
-significant increasing the Dept of War budget.
-calling out and threatening the dept of war contractors for not investing in factories and being slow on repair

We are preparing for something

Bunch of panican cucks in here! The military will pay for itself after we conquer Greenland, Canada, and the rest of the western hemisphere. Plus we need extra security for all the military tribunals. Patriots are in control!

No. Military fraud is worse than any other government program or entity.

Fix the fraud, get full audit controls in place and then see where the funding needs to be.

No budget increases unless the DOD can explain to the American people why the each of the last year we have spent more than the entire rest of the world combined, but still have to read desperate reports about how we are falling behind China.

It makes absolutely no logical sense why there is even a hint of doubt about our capabilities when we have outspent the rest of the entire world at the scale we have every year FOR DECADES.
