Trump Has “No Cards” in Iran as Deal Collapses and U.S. Continues Strikes
What was said
"I think we should seriously think about taking our military budget down from $1.4 trillion to half a trillion dollars and potentially have a more lethal fighting force based on the learnings from Ukraine and Iran."
Scott Galloway argued the United States should slash its military budget from $1.4 trillion to $500 billion, citing lessons from Ukraine's success with low-cost drone warfare. He contends asymmetric warfare using $20,000 drones is 80% as effective as $4 million Tomahawk missiles, making the current budget wasteful. The proposal challenges conventional defense spending orthodoxy amid the Iran conflict fallout.
