Это полукриминальные И криминальные элементы пришедшие к власти в США (я таких даже не припомню).

каким бы не был экстравагантным Трамп но вот в этом уж он точно НЕ замешан

насчёт кто его двинул во власть и кто им "рулит" почитайте про консервативный фонд "Наследие"

то что Путин купился на обёртку НЕ делает пилюлю НЕ горькой :)

The United States maintains a military force primarily to protect the homeland from attack and to protect its interests abroad. There are secondary uses—for example, to assist civil authorities in times of disaster or to deter opponents from threatening America’s interests—but this force’s primary purpose is to make it possible for the U.S. to physically impose its will on an enemy when necessary.Consequently, it is critical that the condition of the United States military with respect to America’s vital national security interests, threats to those interests, and the context within which the U.S. might have to use “hard power” be understood. Knowing how these three areas—operating environments, threats, and the posture of the U.S. military—change over time, given that such changes can have substantial implications for defense policies and investment, is likewise important.
As a whole, the global operating environment currently rates a score of “favorable,” meaning that the United States should be able to project military power anywhere in the world as necessary to defend its interests without substantial opposition or high levels of risk, although conditions in the Middle East (and perhaps Europe) could easily tip this aggregate score into the “moderate” category if conditions continue to degrade in 2017.

While all six threats have been quite problematic in their behavior and in their impact on their respective regions, Russia and China continue to be the most worrisome, both because of the investments they are making in the modernization and expansion of their offensive military capabilities and because of the more enduring effect they are having within their respective regions. Russia has maintained its active involvement in the conflict in Ukraine and has inserted itself into the Syrian conflict ...

With these threats taken together, the globalized threat to U.S. vital national interests as a whole during 2016 rose one level to “high.”

As reported in the 2016 Index, the common theme across the services and the U.S. nuclear enterprise is one of force degradation resulting from many years of underinvestment, poor execution of modernization programs, and the negative effects of budget sequestration (cuts in funding) on readiness and capacity.

поэтому Трамп и Америка вливает на 80 миллиардов долларов больше в оборонные расходы и кол-но увеличивает

армию , флот и авиацию :)

а Путин что ? да ничего

у разбитого корыта "Денег нет" :)
