In hindsight the U.S. military-industrial complex was mostly about “pork!” Corporations made billions of dollars from U.S. military contracts!

When we needed to actually USE these weapons to defend our allies in Ukraine we were too afraid to use them!

Even now “defense” spending increases, politically friendly corporations get rich, and democracies have to fend for themselves as Trump supports RUSSIA!

GOOD FOR EUROPE TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS DUAL HYPOCRISY OF GREED AND TREASON!

I hope the military-industrial complex turns on Trump. Anyway, bravo to Europe for perspicacity. No depending on the U.S. After Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine and his stupidity over Greenland and Canada what did anyone expect? Trump is playing footsie with Putin—it is too much to bear. And now there is Sabre rattling in the Middle East. Trump fails to understand that sovereign states don’t follow his every command.
