Where is the US going to fight a land war...

Editor's note: ...where the Abrams tank will be used now that the US Army unveiled their "modernization plan" for this now demonstrably multi-million dollar piece of junk? A piece of junk because contrary to what military observers in the US are discussing, the Russians have demolished numerous Abrams tanks ("game changing" glamor weapons) in Ukraine and have taken several as war trophies back to Moscow for display. The US has been "weaponized by western stakeholders." There's the "WEF stakeholders" and they are all clustered around the money-creating death cult central banking cartels. Military contractors and subcontractors have been placed in every area of the US where the great percentage of jobs depend entirely on the military-industrial complex. A gross and vile misuse of the allocation of capital credit. Politicians (many blackmailed and many more just stupid) and the entire Washington infrastructure of government including US diplomacy (the US State Department is a branch of the Pentagon) has been run by the military-industrial complex since 1948. This is why we see these incredibly stupid generals retired and otherwise exaggerating their preposterous claims of "Russia invading Europe." The disparity between their ignorance of what modern war is and the actual brutality taking place in eastern Ukraine is terrifying. Many of these US military generals talking about the proxy war against Russia sound like copy edit advertisers doing info commercials selling glamor weapons. They have so many ribbons on their chest they are like a website with so many banner ads on it you can't even find the actual content.

Republicans Unveil Bill To Bring 2025 Military Budget to Over $1 Trillion

The legislation would add $150 billion to the budget and includes $25 billion for President Trump's 'Iron Dome for America'

by Dave DeCamp | April 29, 2025

House Republicans unveiled a bill this week that would bring the 2025 US military budget to over $1 trillion.

The 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) totaled about $885 billion, and the new supplemental bill drafted by the House and Senate's armed services committees would add $150 billion, bringing the 2025 military budget to a record-breaking $1.035 trillion.

The bill includes $25 billion for President Trump's vision to create a new missile defense system for the United States, which he has called the "Iron Dome for America" or the "Golden Dome." The project would be a boondoggle for US weapons makers and would likely kick off a new global arms race.

According to The Hill, the bill also includes $33.7 billion for shipbuilding, $20.4 billion for munitions, $13.5 billion for "innovation," $12.9 billion for nuclear deterrence, $11.5 billion for military readiness, $11.1 billion for building up in the Pacific, $7.2 billion for aircraft, $5 billion for the border, $4.5 billion for the B-21 bomber, $2 billion for military intelligence, and $380 million for the Pentagon's annual audit.

Republicans in the House initially proposed a budget plan to boost military spending by $100 billion, while Senate Republicans pushed for the $150 billion increase.

President Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have already said they will seek a more than $1 trillion military budget for 2026, and the White House is expected to make the request for the 2026 NDAA in May.

Any negotiations for peace concerning Ukraine between the US and Russia will be on Russia's terms. Russia's Putin called for a "humanitarian" truce between May 8-10 in Ukraine to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe on April 28. This is a test for Ukraine to see if Kiev will honor this truce. If Kiev launches a drone attack on Moscow during this event the Russian military can be expected to flatten targets in Ukraine:

Absurd? Why exactly?

Putin's proposal for "three-day truce" is absurd, says Trump's Ukraine envoy Kellogg

Whoever the people are running the military-industrial complex out of the Pentagon they are running the US empire. As far as they are concerned you either obey them on their terms or you will be totally destroyed. Nothing has changed since Vietnam:
