People need to ditch their 1990s talking points. US military expenditures are near historic lows: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.GD.ZS?locat.... We currently spend 3.4% of GDP, which is less than the new NATO target of 3.5%.

China and Russia, meanwhile, spend about $450 billion. And you know they get a lot more for their dollar than we do.
