That’s an incredible statistic. Then taking my 16% estimate from above, and considering DoD is about 14% of total federal budget, then about 2% of every taxpayer dollar is spent on shipping Aquafina to chuds in the desert, if my math is right. (Probably not? Since this is budget, not revenue (shrug))
More nominative determinism: the source within your source is a man by the name of “Burden”:
Yeah it's basically what fuels my constant belief that the US military is operating on borrowed time. They can't stop these events happening, everything in this report is entirely outside of their control. The only solutions are magic technology that doesn't exist, more money (from where without causing domestic problems?), or contraction. Both of the real solutions will end the US and the one that causes domestic problems is only a temporary delay to a problem that will continue to grow.
They have no options. It's an extremely good situation and you can bet China's policy of sitting and waiting is built around it. They can only get weaker. Consider also the implications of this for revolutions that climate change is going to cause - the ability to project power to influence those revolutions will also be much weaker.
