I have been highly critical of wasteful military spending.
Oh boy, Until Russia attacked Ukraine, I thought we were past the times where it was necessary too. Unfortunately I was wrong, but what’s worse, is that when looking back, it’s actually pretty clear that Putin was like this, with Crimea and other situations that easily added up to Putin being a war monger.
But what’s even worse than this is that I see some similar tendencies from China. NATO really needs to stick together now, and Europe is beginning to step up to our responsibilities more now.
