I'm not a fan of anyone investing in their military. The US war machine is a modern day disgrace. |
Why? Becuse they have the best military in the history of mankind and no one dares to throw a rock at them? Great military earns great respect among other countries

Instilling fear in others is not a sign of greatness.
Fear? How about respect?
*Dunno what you're talking about, but the general mass of people are not having much respect left for the US.
Maybe not for the US, but they sure as hell respect the US army
Spending a larger portion of your money on military prowess than anything else is not a sign of intelligence.
Its a sign of power
*Yes, but not necessarily intelligence. iAlso, n the last century power has come and gone to several nations (Germany, Russia and now India, China, Korea), and I wouldn't be surprised if goes rather than stays in this case.
We are talking about military power and that kind of power aint going nowhere, at least not in the case of United States
Signing unprecedentedly massive contracts with arms dealers that will mould the future of the countries economy is not a sign of vision.
Its a sign or wealth and stability
*Whaaat? Being systematically sold to the World Bank and China is not wealth. And please tell me where is the stability.
USA is still one of the biggest economies and one of the richest countries in the world.Their army is very well funded as well
Having all that power and using it in the middle east as opposed to Zimbabwe/Rwanda/Ivory Coast etc. all is not a sign of integrity.
Agreed
EDIT: If the US were to have a war against China in 2 years then I would say they don't stand a chance.
Disagree. US military is not oly the most modern and most powerful as well as richest, but also pretty large in numbers, they wouldnt need to go into war with China in 2 years, they would conquer it much quicker
You misunderstood me there. I said; If a war were to happen in two years from now, THEN China would take them. http://the-diplomat.com/china-power/2011/07/15/china-confirms-carrier-killer/
I doubt it, but I guess we'll never know the truht unless the even actually happens
