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?
Spending a larger portion of your money on military prowess than anything else is not a sign of intelligence.
Its a sign of power
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
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

LOL, perhaps you're not aware of this phenomenon but most of the world hates america. I'm not sure how that coincides with respect. If the world respected America then it wouldn't have bomb strapped people running at your soldiers, planes blowing up your buildings or civilians spitting at your tourists. I'm sure your precious FOX news fails to mention how low America is on the respect ladder, but here in europe most people sympathize more with the so called terrorists (or freedom figters) in the middle east invasion than the real terrorists of the world, the US. I don't even think most people fear the US. Infact I think as a country the US is one the most chronically afraid nations on earth because the moment you turn on the news you'd get the impression that the terrorists are hiding under your beds and sleeping with your women.
Yes the US spends a ton on its military, but unfortunately its fat, slow and largely stupid population is too incompetent to kill a buch of people living in caves and hiding in bushes. Unfortunately, money can't buy you brains.
