      This would be campaign spending, not military spending. Even if it was, the budget is decided by congress, not the president.

      Some these Russian trolls are so terrible.

        Biden is telling us hes going to, like he did this term, push for more military spending, he’s all about military and wants more of it. And the president has a huge impact on the defense budget, being the one to request the amount, especially as a democrat president that will get democrat reps voting in favor of his higher requested budgets.

      Which generates good paying jobs for Americans, gives Ukraine our old weapons that are still very effective against Orks while simultaneously re-arming our own military with new weapon systems based off what the war in Ukraine is showing us.

      If the Republicans haven’t sided with Russia and held up weapons for so long, that war would have been over by now.

        Good paying jobs is such a bullshit answer. Its what the coal industry keeps saying. Make different jobs that dont involve bombing brown people in other countries

              Work on those reading comprehension skills. This discussion is in the context of the US supplying weapons to Ukraine, so that they can (hopefully) bomb Putin.

                I tell you what, im on board with bombing Putin and empowering Ukraine’s military. We can give them enough funds and enough weapons to surpass all of Russia, id rather Zelenksy have them than us. And we can drastically cut our own defense spending, and still have a larger budget than Russia and our newly funded Ukraine combined.

                  Trump wants to cut sending money to Ukraine, so I’m confused what the fuck you have been saying all over this shit website.

      You obviously didn’t read the article.

      On Friday, the Biden team leaned in to drawing a contrast between the two candidates, sharing a news clip of CNN’s Wolf Blitzer characterizing a “split screen” between Biden and Trump. Pointing to the former president saying that revenge “sometimes can be justified,” Blitzer remarked: “Trump is talking about revenge while President Biden is honoring the Greatest Generation during the 80th anniversary of Normandy.”

        All the stuff with Biden praising the military and pointing out Trumps dismissal of current military. Bidens very pro military and increases defense spending

              That’s true. It also mentioned Trump refusing to visit the WWI casualties buried in the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery and Memorial in France.

              My point is there’s no mention of increased military spending in this article.

                  You seem confused. Nobody is discussing increased spending in our defense budget except for you and nobody has attempted to refute your remark.

                    I just see the connection between campaigning on supporting the military, and later increasing the defense budget.
