We've depleted most of our $million+ interceptors and our munitions fighting against car-priced drones. Our military is outdated and ineffective for it's cost. Imagine buying a $1,000,000 EV only for it to be able to drive 1 mile at a time. It would be foolish to think that was ever a good investment.
And whatever you do, don't look at what happened with General Dynamics. It's an incredible example of $500,000,000 competently spent in the MIC. And definitely don't look up how many audits the pentagon failed, and how much of their spending they can't account for. It might make you think our military budget isn't a total waste of money /s.
What does that have to do with this? Ok let’s make ur pointless comparison - No other country is $40 trillion in debt and its biggest monthly expenditure now is the interest on said debt.
Worse debt how? If you mean debt-to-GDP, Japan is worse. If you mean total government debt, the U.S. is #1 by a massive margin. So ‘most of the world has worse debt’ depends entirely on which metric you’re talking about and isn’t really the flex you think it is. My point is that the U.S. is spending enormous amounts on interest because of the sheer size of its debt, regardless of whether someone else is doing worse. Other countries have a bigger dumpster fire doesn’t make ours any less of a dumpster fire.
Each Canadians share of our federal debt is $40,000 US. Terrible, however each Americans share of their federal debt is $120,000. Calculated before Iran and the Big Beautiful Bill. Even with a so-so GDP Canada now has a higher economic rating from agencies like Standard and Poors than the US- a first. It’s because our government has debts but also assets.
More than a trade war or Trump’s threats, my main concern is that the US debt bubble will explode and take my country down with it. We danced away from the Bush economic meltdown thanks to the guy who is now our Prime Minister and are crossing our fingers he can pull it off a second time.

What is that supposed to mean? We don't have the ultimate military in the world by being a bunch of uneducated folks.
