“Our defense contractors demand 5-10x the cost of theirs for the same product.”
Of course, my point is that people here seem to get VERY COMPLACENT when the see the numbers stacked up.
...and how do we know how real the numbers from other countries are? China has nearly our GNP, they’re building nukes like mad, and a blue water navy. Yet we’re supposed to believe that they’re spending NEXT TO NOTHING on their military? Well, we’re told that, and some PEOPLE HERE believe it.
Believing China has no massive nuclear arsenal is insane. They’ve got a lot. Nobody knows how many, only Russia and the USA really announced last time. And we did ours wayyy before Russia did. And even then, ours counts, theirs.. Well..
