    He literally just endorsed a plan that gives them a budget increase. So is this how it’s gonna go? Congress passes spending bills and now those are just mere suggestions?

  2. If any other administration were doing this it’d be a good thing. The budget is bloated and you probably could find efficiencies and cuts that add up to 8 percent but don’t harm readiness. But this will just end up leading to a complete withdrawal from Europe it sounds like.

    The Baltics are so screwed.

    If I had US defense contractor stock I’d straight up divesting and putting everything on European defense contractors

    Holy shit nothings looking pretty right now

    We are unimaginably fucked. You may think this is bad, but believe me, it is much worse the more you dig into it.

    “Both Putin and Xi found dead from dehydration after wanking themselves to death”

  6. At a certain you guys should be on board with a massive drawdown in personnel. If the capabilities aren’t going to be funded there is no need for a glorified jobs program to stick around either.

    It is insane to watch the GOP screw all of our allies and just acquiesce to Russia and China and these MAGA NPCs just accept it

  8. Given that on a clear night, I can look south from my living room and see the US border – this news is most welcome.

  9. He’s trying to aid Putin any way he can. He’s basically sabotaging the next Democratic President, making it harder/a more prolonged process for them to redeploy America’s forces to deter the Russians. 

    Trump is Putin’s butler.
