NO. Trump isn’t not ushering in peace by “halving” the Pentagon budget.

Let’s examine:
Even if the US halved its military budget it would still be bigger than Russia & China’s combined;
He’s also asking Russia & China to halve their military budgets;
Russia & China use their military budget much more efficiently (as seen in Ukraine) so it comes much closer to ALSO halving their actual military capabilities;
Because much of the US budget is currently fraud/waste,/abuse, cleaning up this still much larger budget would leave the US with an OVERPOWERING MILITARY ADVANTAGE over Russia/China;
Because Russia & China obviously know this, they will never agree to it – but the rest of the world will only see Trump’s outstretched hand of “peace,” and “evil” Russia & China refusing to accept it;
It’s a trick.
This take 5 minutes to actually think about and do some basic research regarding – but only if you get past your emotional reaction and deep desire to uncritically fall for it.
