I'm seeing news reports that Trump wants $1.5 trillion in military spending for 2027, significantly more than the $800 billion being spent this year. Realistically, what could/will the US military do with all this extra spending?
>>64734742Pump it into the b-21 and f-47 programs, probably invest in the navy
dont get excited, this year hasnt even gotten appropriated yet and we are 4 months in
>>64734742Should have just gone full steam ahead with FFG(X) and DDG(X). Should spend a trillion just on re-establishing the military industrial base.
>>64734742Trump wants alot of stuff.
>>64734742And shills will tell you Trump is bad. I don't want to hear another word about dictators being his buddies while Maduro is in Gay Commie Jail.
>>64734742I guess we can fail more of those fraud, waste, and abuse audits.
>>64734742Put gay commies on notice, of course.
>>64734742Build 99 more
>>64734742you have to adjust that for the 11-12% weaker dollar this last yearreally they'll barely be increasing the effective budget
>>64734772Relax, we’ll get another circus over the summer, and going forward the entire defense budget will be reliant on massive reconciliation bills since Congress has become fundamentally useless and is incapable of passing a decent budget or doing anything other than grandstanding on twitter.
>>64734742D R O N E S
>>64734844I'll stop after he black-bags putin
>>64734912The weaker dollar doesn’t affect this, we’re not buying foreign military’s weapons.
>>64734960He already yoinked two zigger oil ships and is looking to sanction them even harder
>>64734965nothing is made in the United States it's all imported from Italy
>>64734912Is this 11-12% drop relative to other currencies? If it's relative to other currencies, that shouldn't mean much since most of the defense budget will be spent in the US. And even if USD buys 11-12% less domestically than it did last year, $1.5 trillion would still be equivalent to $1.3 trillion least year, significantly more than we spent
>>64734912That's not how it works. DXY is not the same as inflation. Also, rate cuts aren't coming this year because we're going to run it fucking hot. Mark my words.
>>64734960The moment he does our local thirdie shills, you included, will be Russia's best friends and crying about how it's illegal piracy like with the fucking tanker, we know how you gun grabbing cunts work.
>>64734981Who are paid in American dollars so it’ll be cheaper if anything
>>64734831Should have gone full steam ahead on Zumwalt and Independence. Clearly small surface ships don't need VLS, evidence: FF(X) won't have them.
>>64735033whiter than you faggot. I also never objected to nabbing the tankers.
>>64734742Does it matter since Trump can't attempt a third term?
>>64735103Sure you didn't Paco Singh Mohammed Jr.
>>64734742>Realistically, what could/will the US military do with all this extra spending?Yearly bonuses for CEOs, a few million for the Trump organisation, some vapour ware projects. 1.5 trillion doesn't go that far.
>>64735117Hey, he only has to start the war for it to be the war he is famous for. Fixing stuff is SEP.
>>64734960>black-bags putinbwahahahahahahaha
>>64735117Why do you assume Trump will obey the Constitution?
>>64735117Vance and Rubio disagree.
>>647347422027 is when we're practically scheduled for war with China so it will be for that
>>64735177He's not a Democrat, as you can tell by the successful military operations. >>64735188FDR didn't. It's our turn. TDD.
>>64734965That's not how complex weapons system manufacturing works. Parts are built all over the world
>>64735177He just signed an executive order to cap executive compensation and stock buybacks in the defense industry
>>64734960You wouldn't stop even if Trump personally put a black plastic shopping bag over Putin's head and strangled him before throwing his corpse down the Capitol building's stairs to a mob of angry Ukrainians on livestream.
>>64735322Leftist feelings don't care about facts. >>64735323I guarantee they would say he did it in a mean way and Obama totally would have done it better.
By the way watch the thread get deleted and a new almost identical leftist seethe thread get posted because they didn't Correct the Record correctly in this one and got teabagged instantly.
>>64734742He is a retard.There is no way the US Military could spend 1.5 trillion dollars productively. Whatever it goes to.. it will never ever increase the budget for housing, food, education of the troops.
>>64734960I hate putin and ziggers but that sounds like a horrible idea and a great way to get nuked.
>>64735332You could have Biden do the same before he goes off to a Triumph as he does so while he believes he's the winner of WW3 induced by Able Archer '83 and the same contrarians would crawl out to bitch and moan. They crave the boot of loser countries and their dictator leaders shoved up their rectum.>B-b-but h-he's not our g-guy>O-our guy is akshually a turdie who is both left but trad but progressive but reactionary but he's the real liberatorAlso obligatory mention of how thirdie psyops online keep peddling the same old tired talking points.
>>64735339Kek, found the thirdie who was told to repeat those three words as often as possible.
>>64735323I'd stop calling him a zigger lover, but that wouldn't stop me for calling him a dangerous retard
>>64735323That would do it for me, ngl
>>64735351No, because Biden is their guy and we saw it when he was in office. Plus Biden would never do that, while Trump might. Biden was the king of the thirdies, feeding and coddling them, giving them cash for votes. Thirdies loved him.
>>64735371>giving them cash for votesHuh, i was wondering where Elon got the idea from
>>64735382You can always tell when a Democrat has been doing something nefarious by how nervous they get when you even joke about doing it.
>>64735322You assume that executive orders are legally binding, that CEOs aren't going to find aways around any limits and that this isn't just pretend.
>>64735440>Trump has libtards defending the military contractors nowAmazing
>>64735440They’re plenty binding when the military wants them to be. Courts are nice but the guy with all the guns has the final say, that’s how it’s always been and how it always will be. If you bother to read it the most important provision is that it directs DoD to write these penalty terms into all future procurement contracts, which is perfectly within executive power to do.
>>64734988Other currencies affect wages imports and exports. It directly impacts inflation.
>>64735615Is that why industrial export margins are up 8% this year and inflation is at lows of 2.7%?
>>64735622It's why people are poorer on average. That data is Russian tier btw I don't trust this administration after the employment data fluff.
>>64735650>gas down>rent down>eggs down>people are poorerhuh? cope more, libtard.
>>64734764>probably invest in the navybuy building a bunch of dumb battleships have have fuck all vls cells
>>64735622Manufacturing jobs are also down 64000 jobs in 2025.
>>64735663Building shipyards might be a good start.
>>64735663>>64735672>The real kicker is that its tonnage and dimensions require it to be built in a Carrier/Amphibious drydock, which means it will need more space that is currently occupied by CVNs and Amphibs. What better way to get around that than to reopen all the old, big drydocks? Hanwha Philly is a given with the $150B Korean money. Newport News can expand. Hunters Point and Sparrows Point are good candidates for next. Hell, maybe even Mare island. The Navy has been dragging its heels to increase industrial capacity because of the Columbia being a fucking budget black hole and also NAVSEA is just incurably retarded, but now Trump is giving everyone a golden ticket to add this capacity to a budget sheet, but politically it's for his super duper battleship instead of a boring concrete box. Looks good for Congress and local voters.Best case we get 4-5 ships for $5-6B each, spend $8-10b on R&D as an inefficiency politics tax, cancel the program because it's retarded to have 20 of them, and get a ton of shipyards that can service carriers and LPD/LHD/LHAs and bring the Amphibs to double 40% FMC rate.
>>64735663I know they’re far from a final design but the renders had at least 3x64 cell blocks with a fourth amidships of indeterminate size, in addition to the hypersonic tubes. >>64735672This is already happening. Hanwha is throwing a lot of money towards bringing the Philly yard back into a relevant state, and it looks like they’re going to be getting contracts to encourage other companies to invest in their yards as well.
>Realistically, what could/will the US military do with all this extra spending?
>>64735699Hanwha Philly is already building ships as we speak lol. Those same drydocks can be used to build SSNs even though that'll never pass approval. So they'll build DDGs and BBGs instead.
>>64735491I sometimes play a game of seeing what I can make them defend.
>>64735193Is this that retarded IN THE COMING MONTHS cope about how all American victories are secretly just softening us up for globalism's true triumph with the gay sign?
>>64735741I know they have some non military production going on there, and a ton of money is flowing in, but do they have military construction going on? I assume they’ll be given BBG(X) work if that survives long enough to get hulls laid down, I just thought they didn’t have a ton going on there currently
>>64735787Technically this training ship countshttps://hanwhaphillyshipyard.com/tag/nsmv/
>>64735798Good to know. Hopefully they have a fairly smooth time getting Philly up to spec. Having a big fish like that no longer be locked out of military contracts should also force the other major yards to get their shit together too.
>>64735741Colonna's in Norfolk is also building another drydock.
>>64735658>if they disagree with me they’re a libtard>if they don’t do anything they’re a well disciplined libtardReddit and twitter were the death of the internet, allowing sub room temperature IQ retards on the internet. At least come up with some fun insults, like “left-leaning butthole sniffer” or “progressive scat enthusiast.” You have to keep things fresh and stop parroting the same meme thinking you’re “based and trad.” Just makes you look uneducated. Try thinking beyond the average literacy rate of the a 6th grade please (like the majority of the nation), I want some fresh shit posts not decades old stale memes.
>>64735723It will more than likely be this.
>>64735864Libtard makes you write seething walls of text so I'll use that.
>>64736053…I guess if you’re dumb enough then everybody is seething. Apologies, I didn’t realize I was talking to the mentally disabled who had no concept of fun and is only argumentative. Take things less seriously maybe?
>>64735864Libtard.
>>64734844>Implying even half of that money will actually go into weapons.
>>64735658>Gas downNot changing actuallyhttps://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU000074714>Eggs downAll other food is up, Trump and shills focused on eggs for PR reasons, and SNAP ending made millions poorer.Rent is also not lower lmfao what is this opposite land.
>>64735065>Clearly small surface ships don't need VLS, evidence: FF(X) won't have them.It really annoys me that despite there already being a design that included them, they didn't use that design for the flight 1's.
>>64736085>SNAP endingIt ended for like 2 weeks before being refunded.
>>64735690>the only way to unfuck the navy's production and maintenance backlog is through retarded vanity projectsI hate that it has to be this way but hey at least we get a cool new boat out of it, bonus points if it's somewhat good and makes the detractors eat their words
>>64735690that shit is never getting built and anyone that thinks otherwise is a gullible retard
>>64736258I don't think anyone cares, as long as the drydocks and a viable Ticonderoga replacement get built.
>>64736258seems like you didn't read the point
>>64736085>and SNAP ending made millions poorer.Oh no, not the welfare queens!
>>64734742US mil budg needs to be 45% of the GDP and we need to steamroll the entire rest of the world.Fuck all of you.Clowns.Absolute clowns the lot of you.Get your shit together.
>>64736575We will spend 2% of our gdp on nukes and laugh at you.
>yfw that extra half trillion will go towards the total and final removal of vatnikstan as a country and a geopolitical entity>Trump will single handedly bring about TZD and the forced division of former russian lands between Western business interests.>you will live in a West in which all russophilic fifth columnists, both on the right and left, have been rounded up and jailed.Seriously, if Trump accomplishes real TZD, even his biggest and most deranged haters will have to grant him and his presidency that particular win.
I think all of the additional money will need to be spent not on actual military shit, but on rehoming the supply chain of that military shit
>>64736603>TFW in the span of a single year we are likely going to see the end of Venezuela, Iran, Cuba and Russia as anti-west nations. If Russia goes then NK could potentially be added to that but unlike Iran/Venezuela/Cuba they actually seem to be doing relatively well for themselves. Also it's a pity Assad didn't last another year. Can you imagine if he had fallen this past December instead of December 2024
>>64735690The current projected unit cost for 10-25 ships is ~13B each. Not 5-6.
so uh real talki was considering joining the army in the next ~6 monthsA) is shit about to pop offB) should i rethink this
>>64736634look you're never gonna have as much fun as those niggas in sudan but you can have a good time toodon't try to avoid gun fun
>>64736633Same price as a Ford with a third of the displacement? Guess who's making those predictions?
>>64734900truke
>>64736614>NK could potentiallyChina would never allow that.
>>64734742>America is already equipped with the single most powerful military in human history>"Hurrr what if we gave it a flat 50% budget boost"Where the fuck's the money supposed to come from?
>>64737404Healthcare and education lol. I’m all about increased defense spending but they aren’t gonna do this the intelligent way and just raise taxes on the wealthy
Who's gonna pay for that? (In b4 muh tariffs, which would means the american citizen pays.) How is he gonna get Congress to pass that?>>64735322Which is blatantly without his constitutional authority, so it won't amount to anything.>>64735607>Courts are nice but the guy with all the guns has the final say,So you're saying the rule of law is dead and the US is a military dictatorship now?>>64737429Didn't you hear? Trumps big beautiful tariffs will pay for all of it.
>>64737404That imaginary 17 trillion in tariff "income"
>>64736085SNAP was already fucked because biden’s millenial staffers thought it would be a brilliant idea to cook the inflation numbers to make the joeconomy look better.SNAP allocation however is based on inflation data. So a lot of people’s calorie budget got halved.Trump of course will never fix this because why interrupt your rival’s initiative to starve themselves?
>>64734900>AEGIS integration>new radars>rip out the retarded special snowflake guns and put in the regular 5in >use resulting space for VLS/Dark eagleWhy wouldn't it work?
>>64734742space force trump-class guncraft spaceforce base on the lunar cap
Oh come on, we all know he wants to get a better parade next year, and why not? I just hope this time use some Command and Conquer tracks imagine Generals USA theme playing while the abrams roll in.
