“I think it’s time to tell the military-industrial complex they cannot get everything they want,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It’s time to pay attention to the needs of working families.”

The US military budget is designed to independently fight and win another two-theater war in Europe and Asia. Has been since WWII. I think it would be justifiable to shrink the Europe portion of that; Russia’s military capabilities are awful by this point, and Ukraine has done an excellent job demonstrating you don’t need the kind of budget the US would expect to at least hold on that front.
NATO leader saying NATO colonies need to pump military budget to 3% of GDP is reaction to Russia military production increases, in addition to usual colonial NATO demonism that needs to cling to diminishing Russia as an identity for its serfs. Your “Ukraine is winning” propaganda is simply inconsistent with the US empire sycophancy of offering drafted EU troops to instigate aggression as part of a desperate cease fire to rearm Ukraine, paid for by the colonies, to reward their new Trump master.
Doubtless they’re worried about the rest of us getting ideas above our station.
