Where did I say it meant nothing? Let me re-explain because you have problems reading and absorbing information.

@silverandslow1

Since when does a pure dollar figure mean anything?

I’ve already explained that I think the majority of our spending is waste and corruption that is drastically increasing required budgets to continue upgrading at the rate we are. I also stated that I don’t believe were light years ahead of say Russia in Technology but we do drastically outspend them. So, if the corruption and waste remains the same, and we lower the budget we lose all the money to upgrade our military causing us to fall behind other countries. However, if we deal with corruption and waste THEN we can lower the budget and still have the same or better product.

You’re seriously telling me Russia and China and other countries don’t have waste and corruption happening in their military budget? :rofl :rofl :rofl

@silverandslow1

Why do we need to upgrade? Because if we don’t others will. Your comment that you don’t care if other countries have better air weapons is absurd. Air superiority is pretty important, especially in a battle against a well equipped modern power. Can you imagine if we didn’t have an air force to stop Russia if it wanted to bomb the USA? Or China?

Absurd? What’s absurd is you thinking that jet fighters are the defining factor in air superiority. You ever hair of anti air systems that are earth based? Tell me again last time we had a dog fight between planes? I’ll wait.

In the meantime you’re forgetting that if people want to bomb us… they don’t need Jets. If you recall we were recently worried about North Korea having an intercontinental ballistic missile… having 35 billion dollar jets isn’t going to help you stop it. You remember the Cuban Missile crisis? Jets don’t help with that. Nuclear submarines off your coast? Jets aren’t useful.

If you seriously think that having jet fighters is crucial to stop other countries from trying to invade us you need to get a better model tin foil hat. No country EVER will try to establish air superiority over USA, not until they have taken out most of our preliminary forces in other conflicts in the world and are just moving in for the kill. At which point, your jets will once again be a non factor.
