China not only spends about what the United States does per annum on its military, Beijing outspends America’s allies in Asia on defense by 5:1 — increasingly tipping the scales away from freedom & stability.

Opened Tinder in Lebanon. Was greeted by an ad from CENTCOM saying in Arabic, "Do not take arms against the US and its partners", that F-16s and A-10s are already prepared, and that the US will "protect its partners in the face of threats from the Iranian regime and its agents."
