Gop wants to cut defense spending back to 2020 level to appease China

https://www.yahoo.com/news/where-gop...122829870.html

Putin and China still own the gop. They don't care about buying confidential info anymore. China will be Supreme and own all US military secrets thanks to the reds party

Probably just gonna polish a turn like they've done in the past.

A totally worthless story and has zero facts.

Let me understand this, according to someone...the GOP has no budget plan at all...but someone is saying that the GOP wants to reduce military spending. How is this possible?

Military doesn't get paid.

Simple.

What do you intend to do with a military? Secure our boarders? Colonize a few more nations? Kill people and break things? Secure other peoples boarders?

omg wtf lol! You just don’t get it TS Mokies. The politicians miss the Cold War. Starting another one gives them more power and more money. Trump kicked off China paranoia and Biden has taken it to new heights. It’s the only thing both parties agree on. Any Congressman with a military base or arms manufacturer in his district is all for channeling the taxpayer’s hard earned money to the New War on China.

And who gives a damn whether the military really needs some new weapons system, as long as part of it’s made in your district.

The OP’s thread title is the perfect example of “gaslighting”.

He makes a false statement to hide the fact that it is Joe Biden who is bought and paid for by the Communist Chinese.

China owns the military secrets due to bubba Biden

So for a budget of a gorillion dollars, which is essentially what F Joe Biden proposed, some ill informed sod zeroed in on the military budget aspect exclusively, which was not mentioned in the original article specifically.

But in the larger context, i.e. grand scheme of things, the entire OP article is just, yet another, gaslighting attempt. Let's be honest - the real point of the whole article, which is buried right smack-dab in the middle of it was:

...House Republicans met this week in Orlando for a retreat that was was expected to focus on the party's legislative strategy, but that was quickly upended by former President Donald Trump predicting he would be indicted for his alleged role in making a hush-money payment to an adult film actress just before the 2016 presidential election....

Let's face it, Orange Man Bad, nothing else really matters. No interest in balancing a budget or spending less, much less exercising fiscal and fiduciary responsibility. Not even a tacit acknowledgement of fiscal math equations, let alone the process to determine it all. So it's "Simply" - Let's just keep on keeping on about reckless spending whilst we teeter on the brink of fiscal collapse, which makes sense as the Demonicrat posture is to take it all down with their typical Cloward-Piven tactics buried beneath ESG, DIE, climate change and globalist agendas. Eh Comrades?

Well, ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.

Analogous to data processings GIGO. Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Just applying tautology to what was posted.

You want a better responses, formulate a better question. Exercise some critical thinking. Probe your insight and discipline yourself to seek a deep seated, thought out response with analytical methologies.

But we know better here. Most everyone comes to heap trash on a garbage fire and blame others.
