The military budget is literally a blank check.
It is figuratively a blank check, which is the opposite of "literally".
Has it ever decreased?
Many times. The late 1940s. After the Vietnam War. The "Peace Dividend" after the USSR's collapse, etc.

How is it that you seem to both see and ignore the part where they're building their own power supply?
That's a listed "goal", not something they have done. Do you have information claiming they have built their own power generation systems?

I don't know what you mean by the discharging comment.
Finally, some truth from you. You don't understand the issue. Batteries heat up during discharge.

It is not cross-API compatible because it is an API. It's implemented on multiple platforms and it's only supported on platforms it's implemented for.
Also, you seem to be forgetting there are a lot of API specific functions functions: e.g. vkCreateWaylandSurfaceKHR, vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR, vkCreateXcbSurfaceKHR, vkCreateXlibSurfaceKHR.

I have never known ICEs to break in snow storms specifically
ICE can randomly break while you're driving for no reason. That's how mechanical system work: they do until they don't.
On the other hand, an EV can lose 40% just from being in -17c.
Why would you think that a discharging battery would be anything but warm? Do you not know that batteries put off heat when discharging?

Why would you want to capture an infinite capacity for spite?
For spite, obviously.

The problem is improperly managed (damage/overcharge/etc) cells self-inflate to become what what the internet refers to as a spicy pillow. If they have eliminated the possibility of creating a spicy pillow then I have overstated the danger. However, so long as battery damage results in thermal runaway that causes a total carbecue then it they need to keep pushing toward making it entirely solid-state. ICE has a higher chance of carbecues but facts be damned, people are sufficiently stupid to hold onto that concern.
When a battery can be damaged without presenting a damage to the car then the battery is sufficiently safe.
