Aww, look, it can't tell the difference between an ad hominem and an insult.
Inflation is the only reason it seems like we're spending less even though we're actually losing 4x peak ww2 funding to an undocumented black budget every year, used to extract value from the developing world, and during ww2 we famously used half our GDP.*
Your post is rhetorically evil. You chose a piece of data (likely just repeating with no thought) and are attempting to use that data you don't understand, to imply that there is somehow a decrease in american military spending. dThe only reason it seems like we're spending less even though we're actually losing 4x peak ww2 funding to an undocumented black budget every year, used to extract value from the developing world, and during ww2 we famously used half our GDP. Are you evil or just dumb?
Rent Strike.
What was us military spending like as a percent of GDP before WW2? Are we above that threshold? (We are, it was 2%) Has the US invested in one sided exploitation of the third world while it industrialized through Austerity policy and proxy wars? What about if a constant dollar, such as the 2009 dollar is used? That chart you used is a massive cherry pick because of when it starts (Post ww2 spending buildup). What about the $824 billion that the pentagon just can't account for this year?
Great, so you accept that the means of war has moved on from the sphere of tanks and bombs to spycraft and economic conflict! Hope you realize that the same amount or more is still spent on the settler colonial ambitions of the US oligarch class. Oh, and don't do that stupid "facts are facts" texas sharpshooter/cherry picker thing, it doesn't look smart OR strong. Its not that I missed your point, I recognized it as a silly distraction from the real social and material harm done by the hegemon.

Wait till you hear about how the ICC imposes austerity and economic sanctions on developing nations as the primary form of warfare and manufactured dependence since the cold war was declared.

George Orwell (real name Eric Arthur Blair) was many things: a rapist, a bitter anti-Communist, a colonial cop, a racist, a Hitler apologist, a plagiarist, a snitch, and a CIA puppet.

Hairy Dreadchin, he lost his fedora and katana and thinks he saw his discord kitten go inside. It's these damn pants restricting his amazing kicks, the footwear lets his kkkung-fu flow more powerfully, but if he was in his open bathrobe like in his home dojo, that door would have exploded into a million enemy seeking missiles. blachaw.
And lo for the torches of the revolution shall shine as a sea of stars while the boots of the rich swing hither and thither among the highest rafters.
indeed, but the occasional large scale disaster could push them temporarily into the red some years.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." The left relies on the principle that if the law does not apply equally it is not a just law. The right gets to cheat because cheating to protect their own is, and always has been their platform, on the justification of "god/the king/daddy said so". The left is reliant on fairness as a binder for the cohort.

Normal person with no knowledge of the laws forced through by republicans like citizens united and https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title22/chapter93&edition=prelim "Hey do something" Dems: "republicans made it treason to do something, and you never elect us with a large enough margin to fix the fucked up rules the republicans rigged to fuck and back." Normal person with no understanding of the procedural nature of governance: " NO I said do it, GOP promised to do something!"
