    I don’t think you understand. Platner doesn’t want to spend less money on the military. He explicitly wants to keep spending the current insane amount. But he wants to make the military more cost efficient, so it basically just gets bigger and better.

    Now you might notice there’s a small contradiction between being an “anti-war” candidate and then improving the US army because the US will then use that army to do more war.

      So you think the surface fleet isn’t a waste? Because unless they’re making submarines there, it absolutely is.

      Regardless, my point about what Ryan means and why he’s huffing cope still stands. Ryan Grim has a well established history of being actually anti-war and anti-imperialism. But he’s fallen to thinking Platner is the same.
