President Donald Trump floated the idea of a three-way meeting with the leaders of Russia and China in which the countries would agree to cut defense spending in half.
Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, suggested repeatedly that he'd seek such a deal with Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, saying the money could be spent better elsewhere.
"One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia," Trump said. "And I want to say, 'let's cut our military budget in half.' And we can do that. And I think we'll be able to do it."

There's so much bloat there too, I'm convinced you could cut it substantially without impacting our military readiness.
There was some big story years and years ago when someone discovered/leaked that the US navy was spending like $50k/ea on potty seats. That specific instance may have been rectified but I'm sure that kind of bloat exists all up and down our military and nothing significant was ever done in response.

Defense budget has been a thinly veiled jobs/welfare program for a while.

This goes well beyond that imo.
Paying these kinds of prices means somebody is lining their pockets - heavily. I'm sure the person writing the contract has an improper relationship with the person selling the "$50k" potty seats.
This is unironically the kind of thing DOGE should be looking for. Well actually it should be the GAO but they're apparently useless too.

Unironically nuclear disarmament is a pure win for the world. The problem is it only works if we trust the Chinese
and the Russians
so... uh yeah.

One big reason Japan teamed up with Germany in WW2 is because after WW1 they got pressured into a Navy deal with the world powers to reduce fleet size but they got a worse deal than the western countries, and it made their hard-right military guys have a multi-decade meltdown over not being respected.

Everything is a Monkey Paw wish for them. 'You get what you want but the person you hate most in the world gets credit for it.' And it turns out, they'd rather not have it at all in that case.
