Thank you for breaking it down 😊
Happy ANZAC day 😊

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thanks, much appreciated.

Thx for the briefing - seems like a great way to prop up the American department of defence!

[@whya2ndaccount]

Thanks for the Briefing. Always good to look beyond the headline number.
Hope your ANZAC Day is going well.

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thank you. Unfortunately overseas for ANZAC Day.

Fantastic channel and great insight.
May I offer a constructive recommendation ? - you should invest in a dynamic mic (shure sm7b or UA SD1) as the audio/voice quality will benefit dramatically and pull it in line with your already high visual production quality 👌
Keep it up mate - love it.

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thanks for the support and feedback. I'm travelling so not in a studio. I use a Shure M88+ portable mic.

great to see you dip your toe into the cold water of international affairs sac. there is much going on in that space and a lot of great research and findings that is not just surprising but changing the way we are doing business in the realm of warfare both politically and especially geographically. seems the dsr may need a dsr. hang on i can hear the red phone ringing. get back to ya

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thanks, much appreciated. I'll be doing more on this line soon.

[@zomgneedaname]

These breakdown videos are great. Would be even better if you sorted the list based on biggest to smallest in each category.
I find the relative sizes of R&D most interesting, my guess is the USA is finally waking up to the importance of drone and UAV warfare.

[@Strategy_Analysis]

Thanks. I thought about that but decided to keep them in the order they appear in the Act, in case people wanted to check.

[@David-dl3vj]

Better :Q: how much of it ACTUALLY LEAVES the US really?????

[@navyseal1689]

I hope none, because Ukraine is corrupted as fuck anyway

[@revert6417]

But they rejected my tax return when I put down Zelensky as a dependant.

Ukraine's $61B - How much gets to Ukraine? NOTHING!

[@alexlanning712]

Yeah, most of the budget goes on administration, than hardware, and also I wonder if the US thinks Ukraine's civil service and other organs of administration are if not, corrupt, but slightly unreliable

[@zomgneedaname]

This is the real problem when comparing military GDP. Chinese, Russia and probably Iran get way more bang for buck per $ spent.
What's the point of these big numbers if a $50m tank gets taken out by a $10k drone on the regular?

[@alexlanning712]

@@zomgneedaname That is the way of communism.Where peasant soldiers armed with basic weapons take out a stronger force(on paper) of highly trained &sophisticated soldiers(and more often than not, not, by overwhelming force, but by asymmetric warfare)--look what happened in Vietnam, and Afghanistan!
