    The fuk. Do you think the entire global military industrial complex is running at a loss and doing it all for charity?

      It’s a pissant country, it surely cannot run the military industrial complex.

      From my European perspective it’s good to have a weapons industry: for one thing the automotive industry is fucked now and we have a need for defense because of the brave new multipolar world that some people here are so fond of.

      So pros and cons for the military industrial complex certainly. I am not fond of the military interventions of the last 20 or so years, I need to add that.

      Not having Afghanistan and not disturbing the order in the middle east would have been better.
