Does the freeze on military spending apply to a country’s entire military budget or just that portion used in the Pacific region?
The United States does not spend all of its half-a-trillion dollar military budget on its military presence in the Pacific. Nor does Russia or China. However, all three countries can redeploy troops and military hardware to the Pacific region in an emergency. Also, it can be very difficult to determine what proportion of a military budget goes to what region of the world. Finally, since all six countries spend far in excess of their legitimate security needs, freezing the overall budget is a necessary first step in establishing reasonable budget priorities.
