The Former Superpower

Obama better start aggressively dismantling the US military before 2019 when national debt interest exceeds national defense costs. Forget about the F-35 program, 11 carrier battle groups and new infantry fighting vehicles. The US needs to deploy a $200B per year military modeled on the remains of the Soviet Union's forces after their demise.

If the US is going to pay it's debts then it's time to stop pretending that the US is a global policeman and a superpower. We don't need it and we certainly can't sustain it.
