The Pentagon says it overestimated the value of the weapons it has sent to Ukraine by $6.2 billion over the past two years, resulting in a surplus that will be used for future security packages. The total surplus is about double early estimates. Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh says a detailed review of the accounting error found that the military services used replacement costs rather than the book value of equipment that was pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine. As a result, the department has additional money to use to support Ukraine as it pursues its counteroffensive against Russia.
The destruction of what was recently considered a real and looming military threat to the US is not a matter of belief. It already objectively happened.
This alternate reality you inhabit sounds very interesting. Last I checked, Milley now refers to Russia as a great power.
Chief among those challenges, Milley said, will be the change from a “unipolar moment” in which the U.S. stood as “the most powerful nation on earth.”
“Now, it is increasingly clear that we are really in a multipolar international environment with at least three great powers: the United States, China and Russia,” he said. “And three is much more complicated than two and certainly much more complicated than one.”
Of course, Mark Milley is just United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I’m sure you know far better than he does. 😂
You know… the Joint Chiefs of Staff is always going to say that. To downplay a country with a massive nuclear arsenal would be stupid. That does NOT mean they have a military capable of taking a hill of dirt.
Well, I appreciate your support. I’m not as sure about it as you are, but all current evidence indicates that I am correct here.
It is hypocritical of you to complain about the war machine and callous Americans in one breath and then switch to exalting the opinion of someone proclaiming extremist quotes in order to keep his “inevitable” war machine going as soon as your two initial fallacies were exposed.

Whatever helps you cope I suppose.

If you think that the fact that Russia now being considered a great power by US military supports your argument then what else is there to tell you.
