Why is our military so huge? Why have we spent Trillions over decades?

In part to counter Russia for sure.

Now we have an opportunity to proxy war the shit out of them without risking American lives while preventing possibly worse escalation down the road should they win in Ukraine all while using old munitions and equipment that would be decommissioned anyway while increasing production at home and . . .

GOP: Nah

    This doesnt exactly conform to a mixed review based answer but as far as missing out, check out Observer: System Redux.

    Got it free from the Epic store. Not my usual genre. Like a horror cyberpunk detective game with wild visuals.

    You track down a killer, using cybernetic implants to help you find clues and jack directly into peoples heads where you fall down the rabbit hole of their minds.

    I dunno, I thought it was wild and unique and not main stream.

    If you get it make sure It’s the system redux version, they added ray tracing and MASSIVELY upgraded the visuals and added some story.

    We’ve spent Trillions to counter Russia overvthe decades.

    To support Ukraine in a proxy war that weakens, destabilizes or destroys Russia where no American soldiers die and we get to test out our arsenal in a real world scenario is a worthwhile investment not to mention the moral and humanitarian aspect.

    Do we have problems at home? Yes but that’s never been a good enough reason to reduce military spending.

    I do think the military budget is out of control and more money should be appropriated to the issues that matter like healthcare but at this moment in time we should absolutely continue to support Ukraine.

    We are the world leaders and other countries follow. We can’t let our support erode. We can’t let Russia win this one.

    Ok, you have to try them with President brand butter. It’s a cultured butter from France. It’s the most buttery tasting butter my tastebuds have ever tasted. It’s all I buy now.

    I’ve seen it at Publix and Walmart. If you can find it give it a try. It’s better than Kerrygold.
