When is DOGE going to examine pentagon?

 ASKING FOR $1 TRILLION BUDGET WITH NO AUDIT

TRUMP RISKS HIS CREDIBILITY

We now hear that the Trump administration is asking for another increase in the defense budget. The pentagon needs an audit, not another increase, the defense budget is already near 5x any of the U.S. competitors and still seems to be unable to keep up with the supply of weapons it is supplying to proxy forces around the world. Proxy forces that may still plunge us into WW3 at any moment.

Trump was easily led astray by the bureaucrat generals he nominated in his first administration, they were successful in forcing the squandering of his priorities. Any increase in defense spending will cause a big blowback after the effort to expose waste and fraud in other departments. I suspect the biggest waste and fraud is occuring in the pentagon budget and does not add to national security, but just blows up the budget and puts the country into more debt.

We have been bombarded with a constant narrative of the dangers of Russian and Chinese aggression and at the same time the narrative of the United States has turned them from economic competitors into enemies, they, in their national interest, feel they need to prepare for war with the United States. Now that they feel it necessary to build up their militaries, we have another excuse to spend more on defense, without any accountability for the defense department for 30 years.

It seems Trump has now fallen into the same narrative trap of Biden, threaten everyone with war in the hope that they submit to U.S. hegemony. An economic and military hegemony that is over and the sooner that the leaders of the west admit to that reality the sooner that prosperity and peace can be possible. 

History has shown that when nations continually threaten war and build up their militaries, their predictions will inevitably become true. With a change of administration many saw hope of a change of direction, if that does not happen, then prepare for disaster, both economic and militarily.
