But there's no real Goliath without the government. Government, paid for by Goliath, sets up rules that help Goliath stay Goliath. You only get amassed control when you involve something that has the reach of a government.
I also think you are missing a key difference in some people's value systems. No government can be "good". Government is a (necessary?) evil and should be thought of that way. You limit the damage an evil can do by limiting its size and reach. You automatically know to keep an eye on something that's evil. You approach things that the evil thing "wants" to do with a skeptical eye. Thinking of government as good leads to trusting it, letting it into your life, looking to it for solutions, etc. All of which just feeds its already substantial power. Government, the imposition of group will on individuals, is never a good thing. A necessary thing sometimes, maybe, but never good.

I cannot answer your question and I am not trying to discuss the military spending. My point is that if or when an enemy can sink a US aircraft carrier, it will significantly redraw the playing field. Sweden has proven that it has the ability to sink a US aircraft carrier. However, Sweden is friendly to US and this class of submarine does not have the reach to carry out such a mission. It would be possible to apply the technology in a different form or shape.
I just think it is cool that a small nation can develop such a relatively cheap and effective technology.
I do not argue about the spending at all.
I was just trying to put the achievement of the Swedish submarine into context. The Swedish military budget is about $4 billion. Their submarine sunk the USS Ronald Reagan on multiple occasions. This happened during friendly exercises and by sinking I mean that they showed that they were close enough so that they potentially could have sunken the carrier had they had the weaponry which they did not.
An aircraft carrier is not just a big boat with an airfield. It is the most sophisticated defense system ever made with a large fleet of ships with specific tasks that travel along the carrier. There are multiple helicopters with sonars out there at all times looking for submarines. The anti torpedo or missile defense is as advanced as it gets.
The usefulness of the carriers goes from military power world dominance to close to zero as soon as someone figure out how to sink these ships.
Luckily for US only Sweden can do it so far.
US has a defense budget of $800 billion and the largest chunk of that is spent on the airforce (and that orange maniac directed some of that to the space force).
The staple of the airforce is the General Dynamics F-16.
I have a few friends that tell me that during NATO exercises in Europe the F-16 has met an opponent that it cannot match. The F-16 loses 10 out of 10 dogfights and when comparing air-to-surface mission it is also outperformed.
The opponent is the JAS 39 Gripen made by Saab. Sweden's defense budget is $4 billion.
How can a Swedish fighter jet be better than anything coming out of US?
The answer is ingenuity!

may be the worst news in a while. I have said that the entirety of federal law enforcement is now the SA, working for the Party. The NYT can try to spin this all they want, but this little fact:
cannot mean but one thing, and you know what it is. The Democrat party was using the law enforcement bureaucracy to surveil the President of the United States. Absent a whole bunch of dead people, we're done here.Apple told Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel to former President Donald J. Trump, last month that the Justice Department had subpoenaed information about an account that belonged to him in February 2018, and that the government barred the company from telling him at the time, according to two people briefed on the matter

You are numbers to them, and that is all. And if they prove their political points by killing you, this makes it very clear that they will. Donald Trump advocated hydroxychloroquin, we hate Donald Trump, so we will kill you with hydroxychloroquin. The survivors will learn from this, and you will be made to agree.
There seem to be potentially much more serious indications of hcq, up to the point of affecting cancer cells. I am not sure the smear campaign was designed to go against Trump, it may very well be he was just used so that the media will get a huge boner against the drug.
Still waiting for Shiva to dive into this. I got a buddy just like him who has read thousands of pages of reports on hcq and is considering writing a book.
Hating Donald Trump was not the primary reason. They had to discredit all alternative treatments in order to launch the real, global bioweapon under emergency authorization: the "vaccines". The "virus" is benign compared to these injections. The data is in. Now it's just a matter of time.
Check this post in 3 to 5 years and let's see how it ages. They will claim the mysterious illnesses/deaths are another variant, but we now know better. Brave scientists are now screaming to anyone who will listen. Imagine the fury of the masses when they figure out what's been done to them.
