Democrats Don't Fight Massive Defense Budget Increase at ALL

That kind of thinking kept me in the Republican camp from the time I was old enough to vote (1977) until 1992 when the threat of the Soviet Union had vanished and the Democrats finally put up a candidate with backbone (Bill Clinton).

I will concede that at present, the US already has military might that no other nation can match. I will argue though that that is precisely why Russia and China are relatively well-behaved. Both recognize that a military conflict with the US would be disastrous. It is in their best interests to compete in other ways. I would like to see that situation persist because if it were not the case, both would be all over us in a heartbeat.

It's worth noting that the US could cut our military expenditures in half and still spend more than both Russia and China COMBINED. By exactly how much isn't entirely clear, though.

And yet some of them claim that our military isn't strong enough. I wonder, strong enough for what? Conquering the entire world? You'd think every other developed country would be doing their level best to get America to chill out before WW3 happens because America starts taking everything.
