America's $1.15 Trillion Military Gamble
Published 1 month ago
Description
The US House has narrowly passed its version of the $1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), authorising the largest military budget in US history. Is Congress simply funding today's conflicts, or is it preparing for a fundamentally different security landscape? We speak with Dr Alexey Muraviev, Adjunct Associate Professor of Strategic Studies at Edith Cowan University, about what this record defence budget reveals about Washington's strategic priorities and the implications for global security.
