So what? Hire 20 of the best tax lawyers in the country, let them work for congress at a salary of $400k per year, with $5m in bonus if the tax reform they cook up has met certain goals 10 years after it was passed.

Lol I cannot believe you buy in the the Fox narrative that our military budget is low. I think we spend more then the next 10 or 6 TOP CPI tries combines. Are you a tRump bot. You are completely brainwashed 100%

Guess what, we're not in the middle of a world war, and all other countries in the world are a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way off from being able to defeat the US on its own soil.

The only real question is about whether the US would be able to defeat others (say China or Russia) on their soil. My point is that this ability is not really necessary.

Yeah. That's pretty obvious to all.
So what happens when Russia say, decides to go after all that cush real estate that we call Europe? WHO will stop them? You think Europe will be happy to wait around while the US says... just give us a year or so to get our military up to the task, and we'll be right there.

In the real world game or RISK... the winners are the ones that go 120%, not the ones that go... 80%.


/e The REASON it's not necessary is because we DO spend more on our military than the next 10 countries combined. This is WHY Russia doesn't just walk all over Europe, or China doesn't just walk all over India, or Japan, etc.

what happens when gravity is inverted and the tanks we created just float around? huh? what then? what about when the sun implodes? what if sex doesnt feel good anymore for all humans and cats become mans best friend?

If that ever happens then it will obviously become time to eliminate all the bat winged hamburger snatchers. <--- Find THAT reference and I'll be impressed.

Russia has a population of 140m, Europe has 500m+.
Europe has vastly greater industrial capacities than Russia, so in a prolonged war, Europe could outproduce them with ease.
European countries, despite all their complacency, still outspend Russia on military by a large factor.
Similarly, combined, the European countries have significantly more soldiers in active service than Russia, and significantly more tanks and jets.
The Brits and French also have nukes, so Russia also couldnt launch a nuclear first strike to get a strategic advantage.


The numbers game in Europe has swung decisively in the West's favor since the end of the cold war. Russia simply doesnt have the capacity anymore to overrun Western Europe. The most they could do is annex Estonia or something like that, but with the way the crippling economic sanctions (which Europe imposed on them in the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea) are hurting them, I cant imagine them to have much appetite for even such a minor adventure.

I'm a huge Dan Oneill fan.

Russia couldn't walk over Europe lol. Same reason China can't make real military moves against Japan or SK, although Japan would probably shit wreck China like they always have. All imports to Russia would stop and the whole country would collapse into civil unrest over night. What's that? Ghot gives shitty examples because he's ignorant of very basic aspects of the subject? Shocker I know!
