Radio the other day: "the US defense budget exceeds that of the next (not sure what "next" they were referring to) 7 countries combined".
I used to think our defense spending was excessive and perhaps too large of a chunk of our overall spending but I've "evolved" somewhat on the issue. I want the US to have the biggest, best sticks by far (walk quietly and all that).
That said like all other government spending, I
I imagine there's a lot of fraud and waste in there (unfortunately).
Perhaps we could have/should have negotiated a better deal. Having not been privy to the exact negotiations, I can't say. I wouldn't have minded if Trump had been at the table though. Heh-heh.
I do believe we were either going to sign a deal, or continue as we were while Iran developed a nuclear weapon anyway or we were going to start dropping bombs. Sanctions were not stopping their march towards a nuclear weapon. They were economically very painful but not stopping their weapon efforts as far as I have seen.
