CORRECT ANSWER
That’s the consistent Right Wing folly of “money’d be better spent on what I want without this war” as consistent as the Left Wing Folly “Money’d be better spent on what I want without NASA”. When in fact the money would be spent on yet something else you don’t want because there is no correlation between spending and public want.

What causes this left vs right behavior? Feminine Oppression theory vs Masculine Conspiracy theory. These are sex cognitive differences in expression of the feeling of ‘lack of control’ or ‘the world is out of control’, amplified by trait neuroticism. When both demographic groups are experiencing the same sense of ‘lack of control’.

Reality: We are largely ‘spending’ stockpiles that would otherwise have to pay to decommission. We are trying to prevent future wars. And we are doing it by exhausting RU using a party that’s seeking freedom and self determination. And we are continuing the postwar strategy to end empires that produced the world wars and replace them with federations of nation states and free trade, thus raising humanity out of poverty, and again, reducing the potential and cost of world wars in the age of nuclear weapons.

In other words we are paying a high cost of Pax Americana, and aside from ‘stopping too early’ in china, russia, and waiting out islam, it’s working.
