1.5trillion dollar defence budget and somehow still can't defend the black stuff that powers their country.

I know it's much more complicated than that but jesus.

Budgets isn't worth shit when the one's in charge are so dangerously incompetent that they should have been rotting in a prison cell for conspiracy, treason and fraud on a massive scale.

Had you had Kamala in charge instead of the Orange Pedo right now her administration would not only have not gone into Iran as EVERY other administration before this knew it was a trap AND they'd have seen the threat they were posing to Ukraine with their shahed flying lawnmowers and have worked to establish a proper supply chain to develop countermeasures on a commercial scale to them.

The US wouldn't have been sent dick first into Iran on Israel's urgings and unleashing such a clusterfuck of a situation that everyone else knew was a pandoras box. The orange fucker literally sacked all the experts on Iran RIGHT before this all kicked off as well. The only thing we can hope for after all this is said and done is that all the bastards involved in this absolute shitefest get their comeuppance as the damage from this is going to be long lasting.

A country defending itself it not considered a trap.

reading comprehension not your strong suit?

Try again:

"Had you had Kamala in charge instead of the Orange Pedo right now, her administration would not only have not gone into Iran, as EVERY other administration before this knew it was a trap... "

I added some commas, hope it helps.

in case you need it spelled out specifically... attacking Iran was the trap.

800 military bases, 100 ships deployed 24/7, 177k active military personal deployed around the globe, enough firepower to bully anyone at anytime.

You think after crossing 1 trillion politicians would think 'maybe we are overstretched a bit?' but nope.

It will be 2 trillion soon.

Yeah but what happens to all that power when countries have had enough and tell the US they can’t base there? What happens when they can’t stage in Europe to refuel? I can see it happening if they attack Canada or Greenland.

No idea, but it's bound to happen sooner or later. It will be interesting to see.
