Theory about Trumps military spending.
0 2017-03-01 by El_Snapster
I believe trump is going to get our military upgraded and ahead of every other country in military weaponry. He will upgrade our military with lasers and other weapons that will be no match to other countries making us a great super power again. If he wants to go past our earth orbit and into space exploration we will need new weapons.

It's hilarious, until they're causing heart attacks or aneurysms from space...

I disagree with OP's theory, but we already have them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Weapon_System

I don't see why not. And within the eyes of our cats.

IIRC they're wanting to put them in the nose cones of fighter jets.

We can use lasers in dog fights that we can destroy the enemy from many miles away even our modern weapons we use right now cant compare to lasers.
n/a NarwhalStreet 2017-03-01
It's about fuel usage as well. Basically you can shoot fucktons of laser when compared to the amount of ammo/missiles you can carry.

I know we have them but what if we make them more available and put new technology on ships new everything which would mean all other armies would be ill equiped.

What a waste of money..REAL wars don't be fought with weapons anymore.

What if your army has the biggest advantage on the ground air and sea? Then you can use your whole army knowing you can easily defeat them.

Any serious war between super powers would end too fast without even utilizing such weapons. All it takes is for a war to go nuclear.....
n/a El_Snapster 2017-03-01
What if you have the technology to stop the nuclear from detonating or leaving the ground?
n/a FootballJedi 2017-03-01
And what if the parties involved both had a no first strike policy and actually wanted to annex the land of the opposing countries instead of nuking them?
n/a El_Snapster 2017-03-01
Exactly and if you had the upper hand in technology.

star wars project, guess what? they shut it down

Just like the black bird?

The US naval power makes attacking it conventionally virtually impossible.
China is too big to even both trying to conquer, same with Russia.
With modern militaries there is no 'easy defeat' option.
Which is why economic and proxy wars are where its at.

Lets remember the military is always more advanced than we think. Lets say trump opens the flood gates for our secret weapons to become our regular weapons and the rest of the armies would be like indians vs aliens.

Do you realise The Donald's "defence" spending increase is about the same as the total Russian military budget? Donald knows who can rub him out in a heartbeat and it's not the Russians. Stayin' alive...

I think his real game is to fund that $1 Trillion infrastructure program he just announced with military money and military man power. I think he will bring troops back home and the military will be the ones in charge of the rebuilding projects. They are very skilled at it already (they build infrastructure into every country they put a base) and like he mentioned - why not spend money on our own country for once? I think the military leadership would be happy to have no conflict for a while and let the young men rest at this point - the wars we are participating in are more or less all bullshit that barely concerns or benefits the US people directly. I think it's time to ring the dinner bell and call everyone back to home base, and I hope Trump is thinking the same. This is all just speculation.

I agree with this theory more than mine.

Honestly think there is technology out there that far surpasses what we know.
