Pete Hegseth -- We will audit the Pentagon.

Nonsense....the EU spends little to nothing because they have us protecting them....In the wake of us not doing that they are too lazy to ramp it up for themselves, much less fill the void left in the wake of an isolationist America....China would step forward, and sweep across the globe....Is that what you want?

Yes they would.... Right now China could easily out muscle Europe militarily. It would take only 2 months... The EU would find itself facing surrender or annihilation.

That was what I said

EU countries can provide healthcare, free college, modern transportation because our military will protect them.

The US would rather have a new Aircraft Carrier.

China lacks a Navy to be any threat to Europe or anywhere else.
The main mission of the Chinese military is to keep 1.5 billion Chinese in line

The Mother of All Audits. How much did Biden waste on a DEI Rainbow military?
How much money is wasted in general? Where did all the money go that was spent in Afghanistan?

I want one of those $600 hammers before their all gone.

The Chinese people want the higher standard of living that they have been providing the West and their commie leaders.

China has come a long way in the last 30 years.
A generation ago, they were a nation of peasants.
Today, they are one of the strongest economies on earth and actually have a middle class.
Their cities are more modern than ours

Ergo The equivalency of the Chinese military and police force.... Makes sense.

Eliminating waste will only get you so far. The big money is redefining the mission of the US military. We do not need to be the world’s policemen. We do not need troops deployed to the far reaches of the globe

/—-/ “We do not need to be the world’s policeman.”
Trump and I agree with you. Step one is to get NATO nations to pay their fair share.

Trump is half right

We need NATO to pay more for their own defense
We need to respond by paying less

Good luck with that.

He wasn’t a non-com. LOL!!!

It will be quite the job. I know they are missing billions.

Behind the scenes it isn't so rosy. And Trump's tariffs won't help.

Why is that? Because Wall Street moved factories there to avoid dealing with US unions who make everything they touch lose money. When we get to all "right-to-work" states factories will stay here and we win.

Reminds me of this.

Customer: "How much are chickens today?"
Butcher: "49 cents a pound."
Customer: "The store across the street only charges 39 cents a pound."
Butcher: "Why don't you buy your chicken from them?"
Customer: "They're all out of chickens."
Butcher: "Well, when we're all out of them we only charge 29 cents a pound."

No matter what unions did, they were not going to compete with Chinese labor.

We were better off when we had strong unions
Right to work means a right to low wages

So if you are a corporation or an entrepreneur, where are you going to build your factory, knowing that you pay for construction, taxes, raw material, production labor, shipping, etc. and would like to make a profit?
I worked at a plant for a fortune 400 company. They eventually moved production overseas due to the unions.
Just sayin. You want wages or no wages?
