@pbsnews: America’s military uses the world’s most advanced and sought-after weapons. But months of war with Iran have diminished the stockpile, limiting the U.S.' options and ability to defend global allies. The Pentagon's budget this year is more than $800 billion, Compass Points host Nick Schifrin notes. The Trump administration is asking for $1.5 trillion, in part to address the munitions shortfall. Why is there a weapons shortage if so much money is being spent on defense? Bill LaPlante, former undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, explains how the Cold War plays a role in today's shortage. Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.

Abdul Hakeem :

Trump can launder $1.5 trillion very easily.

JAMES H🔥🇺🇸( U.S.M.C.) :

So after $800 billion a year after 10 years that $8 trillion, how the fuck you run out with spending that kind of loot. I onow why the Pentagon never passes a audit now, its how they steal from the US treasury

MarmotEatingCracker99 :

maybe we shouldn't be fighting wars of aggression instead of wasting tax dollars on having multiple defence contractors that exist solely to keep fighting forever wars.

liftedwheels :

These companies over charge for what they make, just for profit

Juan C Caldera :

maximilianspaw :

Didn’t really answer the question did he. The truth is the matter is that we spend multi billions of dollars on legacy builds of aircraft and vessels that put money into various states that senators insist on. Money that should be allocated to fight modern wars not older ones.

Boomjoy101 :

The USA are bankrupting themselves by spending on the military. The same way the ussr bankrupted themselves. 🤣🤣🤣
