I believe that the Russian and Chinese contractors are at full court press getting their aircraft carriers ready for the eventual invasion of Taiwan and Vladimir Putin thought that his special purpose operation would have been successful from the beginning because the United States and the European Union wouldn't push back. They thought that Trump being gone meant that they can go back to just giving lip service to Nato. I believe had we kept forces in Afghanistan, thousands of interpreters or former Afghan military members wouldn't be running for their lives or be dead.

President Biden still thinks that climate change is the biggest existential threat. 320 billion hidden in the inflation reduction Act is meant to be the down payment for the green New Deal. I'm sure more money in the 1.7 trillion dollar Omnibus Act could have been diverted to defense when defense expenditures are being doubled up by inflation and higher fuel prices. This was all done on purpose because socialism doesn't care about Finance or economics 101.

Sir I love your integrity but feel you have left 50% of your comment unattended by our Congress that votes for these sham wars. As the (WAR) defense contractors get their money inevitably a certain percentage comes back as a donation(reward) for re-election, or a seat on the board ala Austin/Raytheon.

SGT Stephen Rowland - Yes, I served in OIF 2004-2005 and OEF in 2008-2009. I recall KBR was there for us at FOB Warrior in Kirkuk, Iraq. I remember how we were pampered in Afghanistan at an Army Base (PRT Farah) that saw no action 60 miles from Iran but the USMC was hit hard 10 miles to our East at Combat outposts. Our pullout from Iraq fostered ISIS and our pullout in Afghanistan now fosters genocide against those that helped US forces and Women who cannot work or go to attend school. It is sad and upsetting. Now the Green New Deal with $320 Billion to the inflation reduction act that was actually part one of the Green New Deal are the new contractors that buy stuff from Chinese slave labor in China using electricity made from Coal-fired power plants. The world uses fossil fuels and we suffer. The US military suffers with less buying power even with the latest Omnibus budget.

Sir, great comment but the bottom line is, “ You can’t fix Stupid”

SGT Stephen Rowland true, you can't fix stupid. We also have Republicans who join the Democrats in the latest Omnibus Bill to make stupid the responsibility of both Republicans and Democrats.

Summer Republican senators are a culpable of contributory negligence. They voted with the majority and now they are ruining our country and pretending that they're helping when more fraud come away soon abuse or going to projects that are readiness and endanger our country.

I've been following a number of non-mainstream sources, but this guy gets quoted by both sides and has one of the more sensible look at the conflict beyond the propaganda from either side. I recommend watching this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhA1yofpkMg
