    Good. If the USA isn’t supporting the rearming politically, it shouldn’t benefit from it monetarily. I say this as an American that supports Ukraine.

    Also, I’m hoping it puts just a little bit more pressure on one of the few remaining powers in the USA that may affect change, the US Military Industrial Complex. What strange bedfellows we find ourselves in when I’m pinning my home of sustained democracy on the likes of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.

      The MIC is relatively happy for the moment; they’re looking forward to all the new contracts once enough civilian (federal) employees are purged. Longer term they’ll be worried, but when has any executive looked at long term?
