'We're saving money, but we need a strong military': Trump backs record US military budget of nearly $1 trillion

Despite a series of statements about streamlining the US military and cutting “ineffective” programs, the Trump administration approved a record-breaking military budget for the country.

As reported by Bloomberg, the new military budget is almost $1 trillion. This information is confirmed by Donald Trump himself, who points out that "the military budget of the United States will be the largest that the country has ever adopted."



Trump:

Yes, we save money, but we also need a strong army, because there are a lot of bad forces and deeds in the world now.

With this statement, the American president somewhat calmed down the leading companies in the military-industrial complex in the United States. Earlier, their management system had begun to unravel due to the fact that "Trump can significantly reduce government orders." But, judging by the almost trillion-dollar military budget, there is no talk of reducing the American state defense order.

Accordingly, Trump continues to implement his idea of ​​"peace through strength." Thus, he announced negotiations with Iran in the near future.

If Iran does not accept the deal, bad things will happen.

But if, according to Trump, negotiations on a “nuclear deal that will be better than the 2015 deal” will take place “at almost the highest level,” then Iran states that “there can be no talk of any direct negotiations with the United States,” Iran insists that the deal must be concluded with the participation of several guarantor countries. Earlier, it was reported that Iran is already discussing the format with Beijing and Moscow. Tehran understands perfectly well what the agreements with the United States are worth, especially after stories with the previous agreement, from which Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States.

    For a state that prints money like candy wrappers, there is no limit to the military budget.
    No agreement between any country and the United States provides a 100% guarantee that they will fulfill them.

    Even Baidanyuk didn’t dare to do this, but Shaggy “peacemaker” did it right away.

    The most interesting thing is that Trump himself cancelled the deal with Iran during his previous term.

      Serves them right! But not taking anything away from the Ukrainians means Trump will lose face. Which is unacceptable to him. laughing Let's see what happens

      Trump (his people) are already conducting direct negotiations with Iran, and Netanyahu is very sick about it. The body language at their joint press conference says he did not expect this. And Trump said he does not want a war with Iran.
      Iran was preparing for agreements with the Harris administration (Democrats, English proxies), but made the wrong bet. Now it is dodging ... but already consulting with Trump's people. In addition, Trump himself proposed Russia as a mediator and guarantor. With which Iran, by the way, has a comprehensive partnership agreement and very serious long-term joint projects. But for some reason Iran refused Trump's offer (although the conditions could not be better) and began to offer a whole herd of mediators and guarantors at once. But last time such an abundance of guarantors did not help it.

    Everything fits into the long preparation for war with China. For many, because of our conflict, the Asia-Pacific region is lost from sight. There are such preparations there, the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, South Korea. An attempt to draw India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei into the anti-Chinese coalition.

    They deployed a bunch of missile defense systems, air defense systems, offensive missile weapons - Typhon, hundreds of anti-ship missiles, NMESIS systems, they sell F16s, give BEKs, Himars, Abrams. Japan will generally be in the vanguard - the role of a second Poland in the conflict with Taiwan. If it doesn't work out with Taiwan, there are the Philippines and the South China Sea, where everyone collectively hates China with its 9 dotted lines.

    Just recently there was an article that the Pentagon is expecting optimization, and then bam and a trillion is already on the horizon.

    We need to look at the structure of the US military budget. The purchase of weapons and R&D costs are only part of it. This includes the costs of maintaining military bases abroad, and the costs of social protection for American servicemen, etc.

    We are saving, but the military-industrial complex brought me as much as I needed, so we will continue in the same spirit and even better, we only have 3,5 years to steal more.

      No, I think his slogans about saving were purely aimed at the plebs. And now that he's been elected, he can do what he originally intended. He just needs to come up with some cheap excuse, like in the case of ending the war in 24 hours.

              Our misunderstanding is that our opponents do not deserve this nobility, that our people are talking not with a gentleman, but with a bandit.

                Any event can be viewed from different angles and the opinion and assessment will be different.
                The question is, whose opinion are the authors of those events guided by!?

    You could say that just the other day Donnie was calling on Russia and China to halve their weapons. And here you go - greetings from the red-haired chatterbox.
    I never tire of writing that America is Russia’s enemy and that we must not give in to the promises of the American leader.

      The striped ones are only for themselves, but they are ready to do anything to others, to put/drop/let something happen, as long as it is good for them.

          They are not the only ones like this, all the foreigners, the gay Europeans lived like this... a burp of colonization that ended.

    They think correctly. Whether Trump will live out his term is unknown. They may find a new Oswald there.. And again a Barack Obama will come, or a self-propelled gun will be brought in a wheelchair...
    Tehran understands very well what agreements with the US are worth, especially after the story with the previous agreement, from which Trump unilaterally withdrew the US.
