This isn’t really reporting. It’s speculation, and it appears to be from someone not very familiar with American politics. No mention of the role of the Congress, particularly the House. And their reluctance to fund Ukraine.

It is a shame because both could be accomplished, but this is about deep state desires to flood the country.
Even hundreds of billions of equipment much being retired is not what is causing the debt nor is support for Ukraine causing the southern border crisis, which was happening long before this conflict
