Cut Defence Spending: The Rest Of The Post

I wrote a post a few days ago regarding the £15bn increase in defence spending and it was a very short post rubbishing spending more of weapons as i dashed it off while on a vape break outside work on my phone so here is part 2 to put some meat on the bones of why increasing defence and cutting back on other projects to pay for it is just plain wrong.   
For months now all we have heard from some in parliament and military people on the TV is that Britain should spend more on defence and even now after a £15 billion increase to 2.7% of GDP, some are still saying that we should spend far more but funnily enough none are suggesting what should be cut to pay for it.
Keir Starmer said that the increase would come from cutting 'infrastructure projects' which includes roads and energy projects as well as trimming other Parliamentary budgets and as always, the finger is pointed at Russia who are currently embroiled in a war with Ukraine.
Army chiefs claim Russia is intending to march to war across Europe but that absurdity is just a ruse to get taxpayers to consider less being spent elsewhere as a good deal but that has been going on since i can remember with the bogey man just biding their time until they come for us in our beds changing at regular intervals.
After the Cold War ended, Mikhail Gorbachev said to the West: 'I’m very sorry, you’ll have to find a new enemy now' and we have wheeled through many, and even went to war with some, before landing back on Russia again.
The truth is nobody is threatening to annihilate us, we have an impractical £133 billion nuclear capacity which is just sat there never to be used and if it was, would mean the end of us anyway and the billions we currently spend buys a lot of drones and other machinery to attack another nation we find ourselves disagreeing with.  
Why we should have to put up with less being spent on the infrastructure we use every day just so the military can buy more things to kill people with is ludicrous but this Government can never say that they lack the money for anything, but they will.
We must ask do we feel any safer with bigger and better military weapons or would we all be much better off if that money was being spent improving the lot of their citizens, i think if you asked the 20% of the UK population lives in relative poverty, equating to 13.4 million people, including 4 million children, you might get a different answer.
If the Government decide they can afford to spend an extra £15 billion more on rockets, drones and tanks and spend less on building schools, equipping hospitals, hiring police officers, improving roads, improving energy projects or building houses then they should be deciding which is more important and to me, it should never, ever be the damned war equipment.
