Given the current situation with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia etc I don’t think anyone is going to cut on their military right now
The world original are not balance
Best thing we could do for the climate is to kill off a couple of billion people.
This is like the 20s and early 30s again if anyone were to disarm/limit themselves it would be only the western nations/ status quo powers and this would only encourage the disruptive powers
I mean, they ain’t wrong. But if that’s ever gonna happen, every single country has to do it at the same time, and I just don’t see that happening.
Wow, this is clearly not going to happen and it’s a bit embarrassing that supposedly smart people have the political maturity of 14 year old activists waving placards.
If you think funding should be found for fighting pandemics (which I agree with) in 2021/2 you are pushing on an unlocked or even open door after COVID. Arguing that money should come from military cuts just lines up huge vested interests against this policy and condemns it to the policy rubbish heap.
These Professors lack common sense.
The US military spending is so high that it could fund one new James Webb telescope every few days. 😂
I bet Vladimir will interpret this as another jab at poor Russia
Military spending gets us a lot of technology and are wages for people.
The arsenal of democracy needs to get bigger, not smaller.
all of us would be happy to not have militaries at all but with neighbours such as russia, turkey and china for example is a bit hard, not everyone is lucky enough to be in the middle of nowhere like iceland for example
We need more military spending, not less. Russia and China are heavily arming up, and an EU armed conflict with Turkey over the gas fields in the Mediterranean is not unlikely. We need more roaming drones and innovation on Loyal Wingman drones, not risk our security because “weapons bad”.
Ah yes, because being a novel laureate also automatically makes you a leading expert on geopolitics.
That would be the end of NATO then.
The issue is that military spending is also what keeps the peace.
We had a chance between 1990 and the early 2000’s, but we missed it. We’re back to a cold war situation.
