New York Yankees and Pentagon are both guilty of overpaying for mediocrity WashTimesOpEd
This is the latest date they have been in last place in more than 30 years, but the truth is that the Yankees have not been very good for a long time. They have won only one World Series in the last 23 years, the worst stretch since the franchise began in 1901.
That amount — which doesn’t count the extra $50 billion or so that the Senate will add through an emergency supplemental — makes the United States tops on the planet with respect to spending on “defense.” At the moment, the wolves are pretty far from the door, and the greatest threat we face from our principal adversary — China — is not military, but rather commercial and diplomatic. Even if the principal threat from China were military, no one involved in the defense authorization or appropriations process could explain how current spending might address that threat.
Indeed, we are now — through our de facto allies in Ukraine — locked in the most substantial war in Europe in more than 75 years. The impressive capabilities of our military-industrial complex did not deter the Russians from invading Crimea in 2014 or Ukraine proper in 2022.
