I guess I was referring more to the $$$$$ pumped into the defense industry, which put us into a false wartime economy. Some may argue deterrence but the Soviets were already failing. Then again we may already have the same with supporting Ukraine. Follow the money? I have some tanks in the desert you may be interested in purchasing.

It worked for both. If you're talking about the stuff we left in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, I'll sell it back to you at a 10% discount and we'll both make money. Defense industry accounting is a wonderful world of magic.

The stuff with no replacement parts nor staff to maintain? IтАЩm talking about the pork projects the military had no use for, yet the manufacturers kept rolling them out the door. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2014/12/18/congress-again-buys-abrams-tanks-the-army-doesnt-want.html
Or the ones that are badly needed but don't do the job, like the F-35. It's all about spreading the money around.
