Biden proposes largest military budget in US history
President Joe Biden has proposed the largest military budget in America's history, claiming it does so to keep up with China, which spends one-fourth on its military as the Pentagon.
Biden on Thursday unveiled his budget plans for government spending and higher taxes, revealing his playbook for an expected 2024 re-election bid.
The US budget proposed by Biden for the fiscal year 2024 shows an increase in military spending increasing the armed forces budget to a record $842 billion.
According to a White House statement, the budget will include a $9.1 billion investment in the Pentagon’s Pacific Deterrence Initiative, which is aimed at bolstering the US presence in the Pacific region as a counter to China.
China's military budget - about $225 billion - is dwarfed by that of the United States, which is more than four times greater.
Modernization of the US nuclear arsenal will add another $37.7 billion to the budget, while an unknown amount will be spent on shipbuilding and investments in “key technologies.”

It appears that America's future is war, war, war, more war followed by the final war.
The only reason that Americans go along with that policy is that America's wars are imposed upon other people's countries.
The final war will be different.
Time for change.
