Covid-19
has presented the clearest and most widespread threat that domestic America has
faced in decades. In just a few short months, it feels like our entire lives
have been taken over by this pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have
been infected, tens of thousands killed, and millions more are still at risk
before we can expect to find ourselves on the other side of this crisis. In the
face of this threat to our society, the future of the nation’s defense budget
could be called into question.
Citizens
may begin to have doubts about their dependence on the nation's bloated military.
The end-state of this pandemic is impossible to predict when we are still stuck
within the event, but the effects it may have on society could portend some
changes to the nation's defense budget. Depending on the length and severity of
impact that this still unfolding crisis has on our society, citizens' trust in
the military to safeguard them could become diminished. The population may
demand that the government's defense budget shift at least partially from its
focus on foreign peer threats to domestic preparedness, as the current danger Americans are facing at home provides a much realer threat than some sciamachy
across the sea.
However,
it seems that this sentiment may not be shared by those within the government.
Some members of Congress remain focused more on maintaining the deterrence of designated peer threats than on shoring up the welfare of society at home. A new
bill introduced in Congress this past week proposes the dedication of
billions of dollars to a defense fund specifically earmarked to boost
deterrence of China. The fund would be used to purchase missile defense systems
and bankroll the construction of military bases across the Pacific.
For now,
the administration and Congress have maintained the defense budget's course of
deterrence. However, the end of this crisis is still not in sight, and pressure
from an upended economy and an increasingly distressed society could cause a shift in
the focus of our nation's defense budget down the line.

Excellent and professional investigative services. I hired Mr James for a very private and difficult matter of hacking my wife's phone and he far exceeded my expectations. He helped me get some info such as whatsapp, facebook, text messages, call logs and even phone conversations that I needed for proof of his secretive affair. The first time we spoke, we had a very long phone consultation in which he gave me all my options that he could think of to resolve my case, and he even recommended I try other options before hiring him, which shows that he is honest. I decided to hire him and I am glad I did. He is a fantastic investigator and a great person; to all loyal partners out there if you have a dishonest partner don't hesitate to send him a mail Contact: BESTAPPSHACKERS@GMAIL.COM.
