Just speculating, but the Ukraine aid is likely (in part) a cover for American military modernization in order to keep up with China.
I imagine all that money headed to Lockheed, etc. isn’t all being used to re-fabricate 1970’s technologies.
I would be curious to know how much goes to building newer gear that America is keeping in its stockpiles. If this is the case, the investment will continue under other names once the war in Ukraine pauses.
It was never going to be enough.
It’s much easier to embezzle money when war is going on.
The hunger of the Military-Industrial Complex is insatiable, just as the greed of our American leaders.
The result is endless war and spending.
Money laundering doesn’t end until someone gets caught. Greed is infinite
