GKinnear Posted February 20 Posted February 20 11 hours ago, nsplayr said: I am a longstanding neolib advocate for modestly rising defense budgets given the challenges we face as the world's superpower. Biden's proposed very small increases were the floor of what I thought we should be doing, I'm glad Congress in a bipartisan fashion continued to add more to the topline above the WH request. #HeDidTheMath. And here's a gift link to the Post story. Here's where we disagree in the math...the next years DoD Topline is adjusted from the baseline budget ($850B), not the adjusted after top-down guidance ($782B). Wash, rinse, and repeat for the next four years. The actual FYDP re-prioritization (not reduction as it's been publicized in media) comes out to....8%. Again, not a math guy...just a knuckle-dragging pilot who's a Kinesiology major from a small land-grant college in West Texas.
Guest nsplayr Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) I mean…let’s hope it’s all reprioritization (that’s done smartly) and not big cuts. I don’t support any cuts at all, I want to see growth. Even an 8% cut over 5 years is bad policy. Given how clear the guidance has been re: Forking Over Our Employees and how thoughtfully that process has been carried out so far…I’m not optimistic.

SurelySerious Posted February 20 Posted February 20 This seems like a more damaging idea than a budget cut.

Actively abandoning our allies in Europe to appease a Russian dictator who’s already instigated several hot wars in Europe, including an ongoing one! If this is what’s required for “peace” in Ukraine I’m a hard, hard no. NATO allies are allies and if we want to have U.S. troops there for our mutual benefit then Putin can fuck right off. If Russia wanted domination of Europe they should have won the Cold War rather than lost it.
Lawman Posted February 20 Posted February 20 This seems like a more damaging idea than a budget cut. Random official talks out ass about meeting he doesn’t have front seat for.Go to Powidz right now and see the amount of money being poured into infrastructure on the front end of the EUCOM orbit. Remember this is the president that was celebrating the fact Poland wanted to build “Fort Trump.” That said there is absolutely no tactical necessity to forward base personnel in places with no strategic depth other than to use them as a pretext of “you killed our people! Article 5!” What we were leaving in the Baltics is specifically to telegraph visually and politically. It makes no sense militarily. Likewise to having a Corps headquarters in Poznan. Move that crap where it isn’t immediately needed to be evacuated in a shooting war and actually put it where I can do its job,Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
TreeA10 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 "We" are not going to pay off this $37 trillion debt. Our children and probably their children will not pay off this debt. Generations unborn will be taxed to pay off this debt and I don't think history will be kind looking back at some of the crap we wanted but they will have to pay for. 3 1 1

If Russia wanted domination of Europe they should have won the Cold War rather than lost it. Perhaps, wait for it…Europe could defend…Europe. This is not the late 1940s after much of Europe was destroyed during WW2 and we were wanting to hold back communism. Germany is one of the strongest economies in the world, but yet they “can’t” defend themselves and the neighbors?…no, the reality is that they would rather spend their money elsewhere. We’ve been the fool for far too long and spending anything less than what we’re currently doing is a step in the right direction.

Smokin Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Where's the outcry about Jane Fonda throwing the universally recognized white nationalist neo-nazi hateful "ok" sign (defined as a hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League five years ago)? If Musk had done this same thing, it would be headline news. 1 2

They couldn’t beat us in the election booth, they can’t beat us with logic, nothing left but this kind of crap. Anyone who has studied Noam Chomsky (avowed Marxist and mentor to She Clinton and Obama) understands the playbook. 2
