There are people who talk seriously about the US military backing the dollar, when they can’t even keep the Red Sea open against Houthis and their drones for the better part of a year now.

Printed fiat going into Military and DARPA and “Deep State” projects seems largely to be money-laundering. Not that nothing gets developed, just that what does is mostly about controlling “popular uprisings” abroad and at home. Not defending the US.
The apex asset of the military, the aircraft carrier, is now widely expected to be taken down quickly by a swarm of drones or a hyper-sonic missile. We’ll probably see that in the next 3 or so years.
America’s “defense policy”, imo, should return to what it naturally was: the most defensible major nation in the world, based on geography. Key word being “defense”.
