I do wonder if we'll ever see a Congress that gridlocks hard enough during a downturn to legit bankrupt one of the major defense contractors. Boeing certainly got close for a minute there, back in 2020. And if we lose a company like Boeing, we lose the ability to make advanced aircraft, which will set us back quite badly on a national stage.
Ok start a war with North Korea then, see how well that works out for you
Actually please don't because I'm not enthusiastic about the 25M NKorean civilians who will be targeted for an aerial bombardment genocide.
Me neither, but I also wonder if three simultaneous wars might break the western MIC and lead to potential gains on all three fronts.
