    I’ve had a hunch these last several months that the corruption and grifting that has been infiltrating the USA’s MIC might now be a larger weight around the neck of both it and NATO than most people think.

    The poor performance in Ukraine, the continuing jokes provided to us by the F-35, the gap in technology like hypersonic missiles…I really wonder if the USA is even capable of designing and producing modern weaponry in the quantities required to sustain a conflict more intense than a colonial occupation. I suspect we’ll be finding out soon, and we might already be finding out.
