Modern US equment is designed to be the most expensive in the world... That is their pimary function.

@RMJTOOLS There is also a corersive ecnomic component to the millatary wherethe US buys bases all over the world and/or pays off officials in other contries... That is argably free [to US taxpayers] because the wealth extracted from those places is bought by money that the US crates by fiat.

@sinistersilverado965 Arguably the MIC is more designed to extract proffits and redistribute income from richer states to poorer states than it is to defeat ANY threat.. The mission of the MIC is ecnomic not combat. The industrial millatary machine in this combat mission is a public utillty of russia that is producing three times the artillary as the west as a whole.

@takeitasacompliment. You got me... It is not true for weapons procrument but it is true for millatary bases around the world.... The money spent on millatary bases is essentally free becasue that money is held by the US governement when they buy US bonds with them... US bonds are another form of fiat currency... Local millatary bases, prisons and weapons procurment are a way of redsitributing wealth geographically around the US.... We don't really have like a Grese in the states because of these redistributive functions.
