Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[cookie2]

Quite an assertion but where's the evidence? Whether the Russians are classed as dangerous or potentially dangerous given their military might does not affect the annual defence budget.  The US has to be equipped to meet a blitzkreig land war in Europe in either case.  More importantly, there are numerous other current or potential enemies against whom the US needs to be armed. And more important still is the fact that Trump is actively committed to increasing the annual defence budget which makes the suggestion that the funding issue is the source of resistance.

By the same token, where's the evidence for your assertions? You make plenty. So you don't think that Russia's perceived by the US as a dangerous enemy? And you assert that even if it is, this doesn't affect the US defence budget? You are not aware of all of the US bases which surround Russia based upon that perception?
