Strongest Most Lethal Fighting Force in the World
"As Commander In Chief I will ensure that America always has the Strongest Most Lethal Fighting Force in the world."
Who is happy that this is Kamala Harris' position?
When Did the Republicans and Democrats switch sides on utilizing a strong military all over the world?
I guess in light of this Dick Cheney's endorsement of Harris makes sense. That and the fact that his daughter & Trump share a mutual hatred for each other.
Is anyone else surprised by this?

Cheney owns the biggest foreign policy error since the Cold War. Why would we listen to him?
Anyone who says we were stronger under Biden/Harris than Trump/Pence should not be allowed to reproduce.
That would change under Trump though, who has signaled his willingness to surrender to Putin in the name of "peace". Should that happen, the US will be viewed as weak.
Trump left, according to Democratic National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, the quietest Middle East in 20 years.
Man, even a few years ago, any Democratic presidential candidate wouldn't be caught dead with an endorsement from Dick Cheney.
Armed forces can only protect democracy, they can't create it (see Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya/Vietnam).
The Russian position is that it's illegitimate for any former Warsaw Pact member to be in NATO. Why would they think, if we are not even willing to arm Ukraine, that we would actually fight for Poland or the Baltics? Hitler was not appeased by getting Czechoslovakia, why would Putin be appeased by getting Ukraine?
And before I have to listen to your deflecting horseshit about Harris: she got you beat…..and you know it. Policy? Blah blah….4000 trained professionals write that shit for both parties……figure head to figure head, you’re fucked.
Second, she's a politician and wants to say what she thinks her current audience wants to hear in the vernacular that she thinks they speak. She may also believe that DEI policies, CRT training, and woke recruiting is good for the military because the military is a government agency. However, anyone who has listened to her and her boosters know that they want a military that they can use against American citizens if they need to.
Ignore wld4testes. Even he knows he is bullshitting, he is just regurgitating what he thinks Rachel Maddow or Keith Olberman would say.
We don’t need to finance wars in Ukraine or the Middle East / Israel.
When is the American taxpayer going to wake up?
We could have wonderful infrastructure and healthcare for all like these European countries if we spent the same percentage of our GDP on the military as they do.
The world was a much safer place under Trump. Tough on Iran. No Putin territorial incursions. Stood up to China. Struck peace falls throughout the Middle East. No aid to Hamas.
Democrats are the party of American weakness and decline.
As history and current events have shown, israel wants to wipe out iran, iraq, Syria, lebanon, palestine… almost half the middle east. Would trump stop israel from attacking all those countries? It sounds like he wants israel to attack them even more!
50 Billion going to Ukraine is 0.8% of the annual federal budget and 6% of the annual defense budget. And miniscule compared to the 2.2 Trillion increase in billionaire wealth since the 2017 Trump tax cuts.
Instead of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich, we could use some of that revenue to keep defending democracy abroad and supporting our allies. But somehow, today's GOP thinks it is more important to help the rich get richer, than maintaining our role as leader of the free world.
No wonder Elon Musk was on stage with Trump, talking about a Trump win and jumping for joy.
Only an idiot would keep whining like a homo bottom about the Trump tax cuts. When they expire the poor and middle class are going to get killed. The wealthy got richer on the Democratic pump taxpayer money into the economy stupidity, not because of a tax cut. Progressives are so fucking stupid someone needs to come up with a new word to describe them.
YES! When money gets thrown into the economy, side from direct payments like a stimulus, it seems to rain down on the rich and well connected. You say anything "green" and the left stops asking questions. In the pandemic, mom and pop suffered while Amazon and Wal-Mart prospered.
"israel wants to wipe out iran, iraq, Syria, lebanon, palestine…"
That list is basically Iran and Iran's "axis of resistance" or "axis of evil" depending on who you ask. So I think you are saying that "israel wants to wipe out iran".
Do you think Iran wants to wipe out Israel?
Will there ever be an end to this unless one side wipes out the other?
Prior to the Second Gulf War I would have agreed with you. But after seeing American boys come back with missing limbs and many not coming back at all I changed my mind. And that was before I realized that the fall of Saddam Hussein would have left a vacuum that would lead to the rise of ISIS who among other atrocities legalized slavery.
Iraq used to push back against Iran. Today's Iraq is pro Iran.
It seems the US is in a worse position after getting rid of Saddam Hussein.
I support the men and women in every branch of the US military, but I don't know about the "Military-Industrial complex". A ton of money changes hands & I bet some of it ends up back in the politicians pockets. Part of my support for the men and women in the US military makes me feel like we should try to deploy them less. So less of them come back with missing limbs and other disabilities.
