Well, he has a point. Where is all the money going?
>>539679450That's a little antisemetic don't you think?
>>539679450The talk about a "potential conflict with China" is nonsense. The US and Chinese economies are deeply interconnected on a level neither side can just break suddenly. This kind of talk from "officials" is about keeping the gravy train going.
Thinking the 13 don't have the money.How would they even know...Treasonous claimsWe're in good standing with China why worry
>>539679450The US isn't configured for months of fighting. They shot away their high precision stuff like there is no tomorrow and now they have cold war era stocks and a low number of shiny toys that are meant to impress china left. The rest is salaries and grifting
>>539679450The money is spent on the wrong things intentionally. They refused to adapt to modern war - a mistake common to military powers throughout history.
>>539679450>Patriot (PAC-3 MSE): Lockheed Martin historically built about 600 missiles per year (delivering 620 in 2025). A 7-year agreement signed in January 2026 is aggressively expanding this footprint to reach 2,000 units per year.>THAAD: The baseline production rate sat at just 96 interceptors per year. To replace stockpiles spent in recent regional defense efforts, a $35 billion contract finalized in June 2026 is quadrupling this output to 400 interceptors per year.>Aegis (SM-3 & SM-6): The Navy normally takes delivery of roughly 60 to 90 SM-3 ballistic interceptors annually. The Department of Defense has entered multi-year framework agreements with RTX (Raytheon) to double to quadruple>Strategic Interceptors (GBIs / NGI): Production of heavy homeland-defense Ground-Based Interceptors is highly restricted, built manually in single-digit quantities per year as the U.S. transitions toward deploying the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).

>>539679450They are morons just like us, with "quality over quantity" crap
>>539679450Bribes, markups, kickbacks, and corruption. Much of the US military budget is fraud. I would pay to see Tyler Oliveras cover the Pentagon.
>>539680016yes its a glorious fuckup of epic proportionsthe consequences are only beginning to unfold
>>539679450A large part is going to former cooks and accountants who got 100% military disability because they cut their finger one time
The privatization and financialization of natural monopolies makes industry inefficient. More news at eleven.
>>539679450expensive weapon system that are shock and awe, and not made to be sustained. their made to hit hard and fast and be portable so the US can send it's expeditionary force anywhere in the world. You can't win engagements without boots on the ground so trump is just throwing money away. US doctrine is precision armaments to get the enemy because they will always be visitor and have less troops.If all you do is use those armaments without ground troops your just wasting away your armaments.
>>539679450>Where is all the money going?
$6000 toilet seats (overcharging)$500 hammers (hookers)$250 pens (booze)Oh and the "nudge, nudge wink wink doesn't exist USSS Space fleet half of which is just money laundering / theft.Feel free to add to the list boys.

>>539679548Not so for China, actual trade of production goods exported to the US as a whole is at best 2%
>>539681504Surprisingly accurate.They were never, EVER, intended to be used how we're using them. We actually do NOT create enough for a sustained conflict, and we should have very quickly realized that during Ukraine. When we saw the arty start going off in the beginning of the war we tried to ramp up since it was embarrassing, and they failed at that too.We're basically retarded. It's way worse than "we're running out of weapons!". We can't even build the right weapons even if we knew what they were.
>>539681698>$6000 toilet seats (overcharging)>$500 hammers (hookers)>$250 pens (booze)According to the "documentary" "Independence Day", they aren't really spending $30,000 for each toilet seat, that's just how they hide the money that's going to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft and stuff at Area 51, vid related.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SuDSNWH9AQBob Lazar claims to be one of the guys they hired to do the reverse engineering, what with his experience running a photo-developing business, why not?

>>539679450$1000 dollar bolts and screws from shlomo goldbergsteinmans company, and israel
>>539682712>When we saw the arty start going off in the beginning of the war we tried to ramp up since it was embarrassing, and they failed at that too.The interesting thing about that is, artillery became less relevant as the war progressed and drone warfare ramped up. This year Ukraine plans to make 7 million drones, so many they can't even use them all, and they will be exporting some of them.It may be the fastest evolving war in all of human history. Even drone technology is advancing on a cycle measured in months rather than years, so even if some country had huge stockpiles of drones, they would be next to useless being several generations behind the current drone tech..
>>539682632false. you're thinking of GDP
>>539679450I'm not saying kikes aren't robbing US Military but their military is huge. 800+ bases worldwide alone would consume so much money to keep it running.
It's being spent on ai
>whereoffworld
Massive waste. Defense contractors openly scamming the government. Also you can't cut it ever because they're lobbyist.
>>539682632also, not to mention the fact that a lot of stuff is exported to other countries and then sent to America.
>>539683510There is no such thing as being useless when you are talking about cheap missiles. That's your inner MIC talking again; quality somehow obsoleting quantity.
>>539683510And counter-measures are already being developed, will not take much time when drones will become useless too to some extend... war is a complex business indeed
>>539679450Jews
>>539681504Plus all these tacticool garbage and expensive gear, gadgets, etc... are only useful in limited wars and scope, they are not made for industrial or total war warfare
>>539682712it is the classical victory disease, a dangerous thing indeedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_disease
>>539679681The US isnt configured for fighting period. A lot of our weapon systems are ridiculously old. They charge out the ass for every part and maintenance on equipment over 50 years old. Its all a gigantic racket where the money disappears.Look into the repeated failures from the Coast Guard to get any new ships. The money just vanishes, no one is held accountable, the project is stopped and nothing is delivered, and no one knows where any of it ever goes.
>>53967945050 trillion dollars in underground military bases so the elites can survive a nuclear war while the masses perish.
>>539679450> why does the billion dollar [military but really just about anything] order only arrive in 2-6y?it's how it works with most procurement nevere mind with EU rules, duh
>>539679450>>539679686Air Defense production in particular is just a giant grift. The MIDC could absolutely ramp up production of all munitions but they really really don't want to. It is the equivalent of the DeBeers cartel and diamonds. They want to artificially make the most bare minimum amount to keep the price as high as possible.
>>539679450They massively showed their hand with this bullshit. China and Russia are just watching and getting intelligence on stockpiles that would've taken them tens of years
>>539679548>it would be stupid so it wont happenHow many times have we seen this logic fail?
>>539679450>>539679681>>539679660>>539679686>>539680016Here are some facts that it takes forever to make the high tech stuff:From the Center for Strategic and International Studies ( CSIS )missile name, manufacturing time and its costSM-3 64 months $28.7 millionThaad 53 months $15.5 millionSM-6 53 months $5.3 millionJASSM 48 months $2.6 millionTomahawk 47 months $2.6 millionPrSM 46 months $1.6 millionPatriot 42 months $3.9 millionCan also find the information at the 20 minute mark of this video:https://www.youtube.com/live/Qdm-6WBW0bQ
At this rate, the US won't even make it to WW3 lmao
>>539686605Perhaps replacing our industrial economy based on manufacturing real goods with a bunch of financial scams that just move imaginary money around to make the line go up was a bad idea.
>>539686605They just averaged out total number of missiles and divided by number of months since they were ordered. The real manufacturing times are kept confidential.
>>539679548China has been making big moves for years to get every essential industry under their control and in their borders. When they can meet their own needs for food and energy they have little reason to not give the world the middle finger. They aren’t run by goblin people who see GDP as the most important development indicator.
>>539679450>Well, he has a point. Where is all the money going?Don't care, still joining the US Army.
>>539681267you could make millions of veterans millionaires with lump sum payments for the cost of one F-20, retard
>>539686691I can't believe you'd say such a thing about our beloved former president Reagan.
>>539682350/thread
>>539679450Trillion isnt that much considering a single Tomahawk missile costs like 2 mil. It all really adds up once you factor in thousands of jets, hundreads of navy ships, dozens of nuclear subs and aircraft carriers, with personnell spread across hundreads of military bases around the world.
>the goy-cattle 'thought' that live and in H. D. genocide would, finally, separate (((#TheParasite))) from its hideOof!
>>539679548The same exact argument has been made by people before WW1, too. Never underestimate the willingness of leaders to destroy the well-being of their countries for the sake of their own ideological projects. There are too many to count.CCP going after Taiwan isn't an if, but a when. Xi wants it before they celebrate their 100th birthday. Could be as soon as 2028 if he's bold enough, just as US is too distracted with elections and president who may not even want to leave white house unless kicked out.
>>539680393> maintenanceThen explain why everything is always broken or in need of repair.>>539679518fpbp and /thread
>>539683510Drones are a meme. They emit an easily detectable EM signature across miles. The drone killings are being allowed to happen because the point of the war is to ethnically cleanse Ukraine.
