Biden redirected 15% of pentagon budget to Ukraine In order to bypass congressional approval.
Probably an illegal act.
Now Milley wants the money back.
I'm no great strategic mastermind, but WTF?
By arming the Ukrainians we are actively pushing towards a massive military action. Last I checked, the Pentagon would be the ones you would not want to short change going into such a time. Is my thinking flawed, too old fashioned for the modern day maybe?

It’s one and the same. The government is funding Ukraine which is funding the MIC. By escalating the war the government puts more money into Ukraine which means more goes to back to the MIC.

You've got to toe a hard line in the armed services today. Why they've just lowerrd enlistment requirements.

The U.S. Air Force is no joke either.
Dress too short. Unshaven armpits. Panty lines showing. Crooked Rainbow flags.🌈

No idea, it’s odd given the balloon flight path and timing, who knows.
Well, maybe we should be happy ol' Joe didn't greenlight an ICBM to take out the Chinese party ball.

Does seem odd though. I wonder if they wanted to take it down, but were told to stand down...causing a conflict.
