"We've used 5% of our defense budget to arm Ukraine. And with it, they've destroyed 50% of Putin's army." - Ad targeted to Republicans to support Ukraine (streamable.com)

Not sure about "unnecessary." 5% works for Ukraine but also it has a much smaller land mass. You can't use that 5% to protect the entirety of the US' borders along with every other place we are stationed along with the required ongoing maintenance

I'm not saying the budget isn't ridiculously high, but also saying it's unnecessary as a whole is just incorrect

I know. It's just absurd taken as a whole. Even something as small as ending the 1033 would do much to quell me

Yep, we have to defend our super long boarders with those dangerous aggressive nations called Canada & Mexico.

Imagine thinking if we went to war that other countries couldn't possibly use the fucking water
