Trump knew how to do it....cut off their money and pretty soon you won’t have to bomb them.
Of course the military industrials hated that.
This (Trumps) was obviously the correct policy, but I doubt very much this had anything to do with the “military industrials” as Obama and co were also into cutting the defense budget. They managed one of the largest % reduction since WW2 (2010-2015). And Trump one of the larger increases.
And the Biden admin has been into holding down defense increases also, btw. Thats one reason the Navy and AF are behind on maintenance and missile/munitions procurement.
Its easy to assume you are on the right side of whatever, but you really should carefully examine where you stand. Your putative opponents have been on “your” side, a lot.
Everyone is both divided and confused, and this applies to both “sides”.
