Well, they did it. So what? All the same, they have an exorbitant military budget. The declared five percent sequestration is a fairly small amount (although this reduction is 2/3 of Russian defense spending). The question is the rationality of spending such astronomical sums. And with this, the United States is far from all right.

"" Well, we spent a bit. So what? They still have an exorbitant military budget ""
it's good ... faster resources run out! exorbitant military spending tore the USSR well now the US

[Aleksandr69]

one or two percent is enough for them to create a ring of "fires" around Russia ...
We will have to "extinguish" them proportionally, but there are not always enough funds for this

for 2014, US defense spending of 620 billion, which equals 3,5% of GDP, Russia's spending 84 billion 4,5% of GDP. By 2016, the US economy has grown and stagnation in Russia, so for whom are exorbitant costs?

Ashton Carter would like to spend part of this money on the creation of a new generation of fighters, submarines, as well as on improving the effectiveness of the US military in cyberspace, ”the publication Politico clarifies.

Well, they’ll leave money for the plane and submarines, but they probably won’t buy new computers.

In the fall, there was an article in the Western media in which McCain himself admitted that they would not be able to produce 2443 F-35s for money.

It would be nice if there was no need to cut back on the budget and USA.

Of course, they installed five new machines for printing dollars and another machine for cutting sheets into banknotes.

Here, damn bad luck. What will they cut now?

[Gormenghast]

Interestingly, how much would the military budget be if the state were deficit-free? If you spent only what you really earned? What would be circumcised - a populist social network or military-industrial complex?

[midashko]

Good news.
But in light of the appreciation of the dollar, in the light of the fact that part of the components are being purchased in other countries (for example, titanium components for aircraft in Russia), will not such a small reduction actually increase financing?
That is, did not the strengthening of the dollar make it possible to fulfill all the plans and plans of the Pentagon with less money, to save, and to release the released funds, say, for financing the CIA?

[pts-m]

Yes, it’s necessary to build a pendeostan for all kinds of fantastic projects by introducing into their sphere the “Russian” warehouse managers and dvoeshniks from universities.

Now we will witness the amazing SHOW in essence , American generals, politicians and analysts lobbying the interests of the Pentagon will begin to give long analytical speeches and praises to Russian weapons, the power of the Russian army, and in every way to doubt the capabilities of the US Army .Russian weapons will step forward in various ratings and publications in the press, in a place with the ability of our state to achieve its goals MILITARY
At the end of the submission, the senators, worried about the fall in security before an unimaginable force, simply OBLIGATE to take the Pentagon financial resources to develop and equip the US army with advanced weapons in the right amount.
The whole circle closed.
Although this concert is for the inner ear and eye, it’s sometimes interesting to see how the financial system in the USA works .

“The risk of war in Europe has never been greater after the end of the Cold War than it is today,” writes Andrew Micht, professor at the US Naval College, in Politico. Despite “harsh rhetoric” and “warnings” to Vladimir Putin from NATO leaders, the general combat readiness of Europe does not correspond to the level of danger, the expert believes
According to Micht, after many years of military budget cuts, Europe provides only a quarter of NATO’s defense capabilities, and some countries are unable to conduct military operations outside their borders if necessary. “There is no doubt that the military weakness of Europe played a role in Russia's plans, not only during the annexation of Crimea and the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass, but also in the 2008 war against Georgia,” the author of Politico believes. According to Micht, it was precisely the weakness of Europe that allowed Putin to succeed in "restoring the Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe."

This analysis just appeared by the redeployment of American troops to the Baltic states, under the guise of exercises that will last a whole year.

I'm not talking about you at all. Check out any comments on a topic where some American general talks about "the resurgent Russian power." And which are teeming with cheers-slogans, about the Anglo-Saxons, and so on, with a bunch of enthusiastic pluses.

Nothing, they still draw themselves, this green paper is untranslatable. It is already a question of raising the public debt ceiling, so another release of legitimate fakes in the foreign exchange market is expected.

Reduced by less than 5% and noise by 100% ... As a result of the entire show, the program will increase the budget in proportion to the "planned reduction"!

Obama is cutting his military budget for the sixth consecutive year.
He vowed to cut federal debt - a stubborn fellow ...

His successors are unlikely to appreciate it. Woe to the vanquished, in this case, to the departed. All the same, all the dogs will be hanged on him. And not closed Guantanamo will not be forgotten.

Let them give their speeches and so on, advertising will not be superfluous to our weapons (although Syria does not really need it, Syria is an example), so long as they gums wrinkle contracts to us there will not be superfluous
