We need more military spending now!!!
So who is draining who? Maybe this is part of the plan to reshuffle world order… drag the US into a costly and depleting war, throw China's manufacturing power behind the Russian war effort, China can move on Taiwan and whatever other territory, trade missile for missile til the US runs out. – meanwhile undermine the US dollar and global financial system, patiently let America succumb to it's social rot caused by its own corruption and precarious consumerism.
Well, you know the US Government isn’t exactly known for its rational spending habits.
Do you really think people are going to sign up to go fight in one of the most corrupt countries on the planet at the behest of the sweatshirt king? Maybe if the sons and daughters of those sending us to war are sent to fight and die alongside the rest of us peasants recruitment numbers will go up.
And the whole point of military imperialism, the petrodollar dominance, is in danger of falling.
The annual budget has 100 billion on r&d. The corporations should be spending that.
Great sermon Saagar! Keep preaching brother!
Now is the time! Canadians, attack!!
Well said, let's not forget the free stuff that we left in Afghanistan and as you covered on the show before the Pentagons failed audits.
This is because we are world empire. We have a thousand military bases around the world. It's like an NBA player that makes 20 million a year but his bankrupt because they are spending way more than they have. That's the problem with the United States and with every empire in. Think it up way bigger appetite than there stomach can handle and it ends up imploding them. Welcome to the US empire where we're trying to dominate the world and we are succeeding on a level that Hitler could never dream of
I would respect the idian guy if he came out outright and said what he thinks instead of dancing around it and insinuating. He obviously thinks it would be much wiser to stop the aid to Ukraine which is fighting a war that will “not have a significant effect on our lives”. He is portraying it like it’s actually detrimental to aid Ukraine and as if nothing would change if Russia rolled over Ukraine. I think he is arguing that because Putin winning benefits him as it strengthens his fascist agenda.
hmmm is it possible that Ukraine (like desert storm) was about buying more weapons from the defense contractors to 'replace' the ones lost, donated or damaged? naaaaaa
I love how it is just accepted/normal that the US has to always be ready for military conflict. Nobody seems to ask why? Which country threatens the US? Is the US surrounded by other Nation's military bases? Does China or Russia conduct naval exercises off the coast of California? What the f is wrong with you people?
Every american with a 401k has made a killing out of this war….Maybe even Saagar
The crumbling of an empire
I would guess that they're turning over inventory so that their inventory gets reordered. Every large supply chain works exactly the same.
When Saagar puts his "our nation is in danger/thousands-millions at risk of death" neocon suit on – while acting as if he's trashing neocons – he's just a sorry ass shadow of himself; it's also so acted out, in an attempt to draw right-wingers in most probably (and crying out wolf for China comes so easy to Saagar-"no, India's govt is not fascist"), it's just ridiculous. He'd be calling himself out if he had watched that bit on TV by another person.
If I was a conspiracy theorists, I'd say this may be intentional
South Korea military spending is $50 billion…….. The US has spent that much on gender fluid advertising/recruiting campaigns……..
Are you seriously suggesting that the DoD, who has miserably failed two audits since 2005 for not keeping receipts to the tune of 3 trillion dollars total since 1995 is running out of ammo and equipment to defend the US? You must think all of your audience are complete morons since Crystal, before you guys ever created BP, had entire shows dedicated to the waste, the quadruple redundancies, and the amount of gear that was purchased but would never be needed. Now, suddenly, you think those stories and that data means nothing and you can sell us this new line of bullshit?
And that's why I haven't watched your show in over a year. Hey, does The Hill still exist with your pitiful clones? Because at this point it's hard to determine who the clones are anymore.
PS: The old Sagar and Crystal would have pointed out that this is a ploy used by the DoD in the past to massively increase their budget by using fear mongering about preparedness even when they can't find 3 trillion dollars worth of shit they purchased earlier. Where'd that pair of rational individuals go? And now I hit "Do not recommend Channel" and enjoy another year of forgetting the two of you exist.
The US can’t even take care of its people because the government rather fund the military industrial complex than to help its people. As of 2023, there are over 500K people suffering homelessness, over 300K are unemployed, and over 800K suffering from Opioid addiction. The U.S. claims to be the best, yet, its more like a destitute 3rd world country 🤷🏻‍♀️
sounds like the title of this one should have been: Bye Bye!
How accurate are these claims? I have heard from several others that the equipment being sold to Ukraine is dated and scheduled to be replaced.
Imagine having military shortages despite almost a trillion per year going to your military. Where is all the money going? The pockets of the industrialist friends, surely.
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

Princess Bride
It's time to let Ukraine deal with Ukraine, and if they need help, look to the EU. Other then that, they need to work things out with Russia
Military shortages? Are you fucking high dude?!?! Did we suddenly stop having a military budget larger than the next 26 Countries behind us to only the next 25? Get real.
Don't forget the fossil fuel reserves that are being depleted…or do those high tech futuristic weapons use solar energy??
Goodness Saagar. America might need to stay at home and stop terrorising the world.
Plan was simple, open boarders, deplete our energy and resources then piss off americas enemies… this was a war on the American people from the get go
I think Saagar is woefully misinformed. Another commentary where Saagar is gagging on his own voice to make his point.
I keep hearing they are going to be throwing people off of veterans benefits also.
