    High time we stop buying weapons from the US. The only reason paying the wildly overpriced gear is to have them provide military support when needed. If that’s not happening… then it makes no sense spending that money. Build it locally or buy it from the cheapest supplier.

        Well, on the increasingly unlikely possibility that they are not increasing the budget to target American citizens, I hope other nations in the world know they have to dramatically increase their own defense spending.

    In a significant shift to its security priorities, the US Department of Defense now considers security of the US homeland and Western Hemisphere - not China - as its primary concern

    Does this mean the “Pacific Pivot” cope will finally stop and yanks will admit that Trump just wants to burn down all their alliances?

    Well yeah. Nobody is counting on you for shit anymore, because of the orange man toddler. We are rearming Europe as fast as is sensible. We still have that detaching from Russian energy thing going no.
