A javelin is an anti armor weapon. What tank is crewed by a single person?

It doesn’t matter if it’s discretionary or not. It’s all taxpayer dollars and our biggest use of them is social programs. The military is 3rd.

It’s not really the US that needs to be concerned—however, many US allies are particularly vulnerable. It all depends if we consider Un a rational actor. If so, then he’d be a fool to attack.
