This is a big boost from the 2026 military budget which is set at an already record $901 billion.
"This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe", Trump justified in a posting on Truth Social announcing his plan.
He said it can be done while paying down debt, which is not based in mathematical reality: national debt has risen by ~$2 trillion since Trump was sworn in a year ago.
Bigger military spending means more US-initiated conflicts and more military interventions. You bet, the US is hell-bent on flexing its muscles all around the world.
Here we go again. The third instalment of Martin O’Neill’s long association with Celtic began yesterday with a Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United.
Of course, the green-and-whites triumphed 4-0 and their first clean sheet since the Irishman's previous game in charge.
A studied build-up with endless passing climaxed with a Liam Scales square pass to Yang Hyun-jun who, sharply spotting a rare gap in the Tangerines' defensive wall, unleashed a superb low right foot shot in the 27th minute into the far corner from 18-yards. Then, Kieran Tierney drilled a ball deep into the other side's box and Arne Engels was there to turn it home with a first time finish five minutes later.
Celtic weren't done and in the 63rd minute, Engels found Benjamin Nygren five yards from goal; he faked a shot to confuse the goalie before scooping the ball into the roof of the net. Six minutes on and a Sebastian Tounekti shot was pushed to the side by a diving goalkeeper only for him to see Daizen Maeda follow up with an emphatic shot into the roof of the net for his eighth of the season.
Dundee United never really troubled Celtic; in fact they didn't manage a single shot on target and had just 22% possession across the 90 minutes in Glasgow.
O'Neill has certainly brought the feel-good factor back to Parkhead.
