What specifically might you see as requisite preconditions / operations for reducing US military spending?

?! Apart from the replacement of the current regimes configuration worldwide with a stable coordinated alliance, wiping the current *brink* and redrawing a reassuring image over it? How was that remotely proposable given the chessboard outside the window? Europe is rearming!!!

Last piece of news I got from the papers only minutes ago was Cuba and Urals having met to proclaim their will for a multipolar world - is not the present time clear enough?

Was my previous post not clear? Proposals have to be credible! Anybody can come up with a proposal which is not a solution. It is what so-called "populism" does for a living, to spread "enthusiastic, (pseudo)heartly" ideas. There is no value in "they shall eat cake": you have to point to where the flour and eggs are!

Thanks, that's clearer.

You're a bit telegraphic in what you write. You might want to offer a bit more to your audience. Your viewpoint deserves it.
