Significantly. The F-35 programme is a 50-year one. Trump won’t even be alive in half that.

They are legally obliged to refuse to carry out illegal orders. “Just following orders” is no defence against war crime charges.

The rich don’t tend to want to lose their assets voluntarily.

Your country settles for ridiculously bad politicians on both sides. It’s media fails to rigorously hold any of them to account. If the left media isn’t handing softballs to Harris it’s hurling insults at the other side and vice versa. You lap it up. You buy the products advertised. You donate to the parties. You vote for these morons because they aren’t those other morons. You are part of the problem too. You as a nation settled.

They don’t function without phoning home to a US-controlled server every 24 hours.

MAGA are the lowest-income, lowest-educated.

Indeed, longbowmen can be identified as their skeletons are significantly deformed over years of training.

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

They’re fierce competitors.

Olaf Scholz fighting a mysterious urge to get a pistol and a cyanide capsule and wander into the basement. Those who ignore history are doomed etc etc.

Why would he? He doesn’t pay them.

See: Afghanistan, Iraq.

America are the toddlers who have found father’s gun and decide to blast at anyone withholding sugar.

The idea that the American military are competent enough to go after just the cartels is laughable. Not to mention the violation of Mexican sovereignty.

Then you see what they did in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Any boy over the age of 12 was considered a potential terrorist therefore a “military age male” and was thus fair game for special forces murder squads, air strikes, drone strikes, and was not needed to be included in the official statistics for civilian kills.

In short the American military apparatus uses Terrorism as a green light to go for maximum overkill, regardless of the level of civilian kills and socio-economic impact. This in turn sustains the vast economic forces in defence contracting and makes a lot of political donors a lot of money.

It also rids the US of thousands of low-income patriotic-but-stupid people who sign up to the military because they have few other career options. These would later cost the state money in Medicare but not if they get killed in action.

War is primarily big business. Moral and legal factors take a back seat.
