I have quickly checked today's politics thread title and can't see this has been discussed ...

It was announced today Trump will embark on a massive buildup of US military strength as a deterrent to perceived threat from China.

I am not stirring the pot here, but I did think during the campaign, Trump was emphatic about withdrawing from overseas military interventions and campaigns to focus domestic efforts, including funding a massive spend on infrastructure?

Isn't this announcement just throwing down the gauntlet for at best Cold War diplomacy with China and committing America to a massive, unproductive spend that limits funding on infrastructure?

He also claimed that the military had been allowed to run down and that he would get it back battle ready. Disengaging and repairing the military are not mutually exclusive.
