Is the US military actually failing? Or Is It Just A Profitable Lie? | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Truthdig report by Adam Johnson on New York Times coverage of military spending, exploring how think tanks funded by weapons manufacturers push the narrative that the U.S. is falling behind Russia and China to inflate defence budgets.
