Trump fordert für das Pentagon ein rekordverdächtiges Budget von 1,5 Billionen US-Dollar

SS: President Donald Trump on Friday [officially requested](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/budget_fy2027.pdf) $1.5 trillion in spending for the Pentagon next fiscal year, which would be the largest defense budget in U.S. history.

Trump also outlined some $73 billion in cuts to nondefense federal spending, including cuts to health research, K-12 and higher education, renewable energy and climate grants, a low-income housing energy program, and community development block grants. The cuts to nondefense spending represent a 10 percent reduction from the current fiscal year.

The request comes as Congress grapples with the ballooning costs of the war in Iran, a persistent shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the midterm elections ahead.

The message that sends the world is that we, the United States are going to do more dumb things to lead us all into WW3.

We’re living through a time where high military spending is becoming a liability to the US. It encourages big dumb weapons – when we need to be meeting asymmetric low cost threats with similar cost protections.

We may have a big lumbering defense dept that’s gotten too fat and happy and has stopped innovating.

Budget for the war with China in the next 3 years.
