Military.com: Not Stopping Russia in Ukraine Would Force 'Doubling' of US Defense Budget, Milley Says
The top general in the U.S. military warned Thursday that not supporting Ukraine now would lead to a massive increase in future defense budgets -- and global conflict that has been avoided since World War II ended.
"If that rules-based order, which is in its 80th year, if that goes out the window, then be very careful," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley testified to Congress on Thursday. "We'll be doubling our defense budgets at that point because that will introduce not an era of great power competition. That'll begin an era of great power conflict. And that'll be extraordinarily dangerous for the whole world."
Milley's remark at a House Appropriations Committee defense subcommittee hearing comes amid growing skepticism from Republicans about the price tag of U.S. aid to Ukraine. Milley was testifying alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the Biden administration's $842 billion request for Pentagon spending for fiscal 2024.

Russia has mostly pulled out of Syria, Kola Peninsula and Armenian/Azerbaijan demarcation line. At this rate Russia will pull out of Moscow.
ReplyDeleteHow convenient for those already making a killing.
ReplyDeleteYep, now we know their strategy LOL
DeleteEurope is a continent of fools because they have lived for 70 years under the protection of the US warfighters and taxpayer. They have the luxury of cradle to grave financial support, and believe in false nonsense like a person can change their gender by changing their clothes or a trace amount of an invisible, odorless, nonreactive gas, CO2, is the main driver in this planet's climate.
ReplyDeleteMiley's assumption is sole based on the concept that they do not have, or pay for, a competent warrior class to protect them from what they fear. We in the USA will do it. Miley is not smart enough to know he and his philosophy is exactly why the American empire is in decline and will continue its decent.
Milley: The USA must rule the world in order for Europe to be safe.
ReplyDeleteBut things have changed General Milley. It costs too much money to rule the world, and the USA is longer capable of ruling the world.
The US Empire is in the process of collapsing, similar to how the Roman Empire collapsed. Best to stop continuing to try to rule the world, General Milley.
Okay well we're not going to win so maybe we should stop all social security payments immediately so we can build up this extra trillion dollars that we apparently need to send to Lockheed to save democracy.
ReplyDeleteGood thing the Fed can just keep printing money without consequences

ReplyDeleteIn fact the real peacekeep in europe was USSR, and also because not a single East european nation is an innocent virgin and (Hungary and Romania sided nazifascist), and despite his problems, has done a good job in that.
ReplyDeleteAfter his fall, USA-UE-NATO become greedy, and enter in a new era of colonialism, but many european countries are defeated nations, protectorate forced to side every stupid NATO wars, including use of neonazist, feeded by rich elites, to push their agenda into madness, when the rest of the world is tired of western double standard.
