How Big Is This Going To Get?

In this episode of The Leftish Agenda, hosted by Eddie, the focus lies heavily on the contrast between the United States military and those of other nations. He examines different aspects of military power like defense budgets, active personnel, technological advancements, reserves and National Guard, and global military presence. Drawing comparisons on an international level, especially with China and Russia, Eddie highlights how the U.S. stands out in various capacities such as, funding, technology, strategic location of global bases, and quality of forces. Furthermore, he points towards the unique dual structure of the U.S. forces, which includes active-duty troops alongside reserve and National Guard units, as a significant factor that ensures the U.S.'s stand as a formidable military power.
