So does this mean you want to cut defense spending?

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

You do not agree with me, Fred. You agree with your hallucinations. You are just like rayb and sourmash.

Sorry, from your posts I thought you were concerned about the power and influence of the military industrial complex.

But if you want to keep increasing military spending then you obviously don't care.

The "goat" provides two online reports.

The first of these reports, published in August, is from the Global Times.


This is at the upper right of the front page of the Global Times.

It's been almost two years since the second report was published on Reuters.

I wish I knew more "behind the scenes" about the talks between the Biden administration and Russia, when the Biden admin was (apparently) trying to dissuade Russia from invading Ukraine in force.

I don't trust Putin. And I'm not 100% enthused about Xi.
