I wonder if all the insane stuff is allowed to play out, it could possibly create enough pain globally that everyone except the US gathers and starts working together better and cooperating, cutting the bullshit, and working to enshrine systems that are resistant to all the gaping flaws he’s exposed with his bottomless corruption and evil conduct
I’m honestly surprised the MIC would let things deteriorate this much for the US defense industry. The next 15 years will be really bad for them, especially if European based companies can supplant their contracts other globally
Purely from a business perspective, the MIC must like the war in Ukraine and I would have thought their united lobbying efforts would be enough to save Ukraine from 0 US aid…
MIC = Morons In Charge?
Checks out. But also Military Industrial Complex.
I’m guessing the executives of those companies intended to take the kickback Trump promised them and other rich folk and then flee into the hills with their money.
They’re in for a good shock when the US economy implodes and the USD starts to tumble.
I’ll believe Trump actually intends to cut the military when he does it and not a minute sooner. People on both sides like to pretend he’s an isolationist but military spending only went up in his first term. Likely, he’s just going to pivot to China.
Ofc it’s congress who sets the budget so he can just quietly sign off on the increases the same way he quietly gives tax cuts to the rich.
