The "cost savings" of reducing the land-based US Army will bolster the funding for the US Space Force, giving Felon Musk and Jeff Bezos billions in contracts to launch the defensive systems thru SpaceX and Blue Origin. This is a two-for-one: Putin is happy and the oligarchs are thrilled. Meanwhile, NATO and the EU are put on edge: i.imgflip.com

Thanks Republican voters for empowering our enemies, enriching the oligarchs, and hurting America's allies.

Democrats from 2008 would have been throwing Trump a parade for this. Now, they want forever war so they will condemn him. You can't fix stupid.

Just give the Ukrainians a few dozen(s) of their nukes back. They already have the projectiles to lay waste to Russian cities and so Vlad the fascist murderer will have to think a lot harder about continuing his war of rap and murder.
