Defense companies have friends in the US Senate
ranging from Feinstein to McCain and Graham.
When McCain and Graham talk about training people somewhere in the world or sending weapons somewhere in the world defense contractors are involved.
When we (and the Russians, for that matter) give astonishing weapons to countries where Americans are in terrible danger there is always money in the picture someplace.
You have to wonder who in Russia profited from selling reactors to Iran who will definitely at some time arm Chechen’s with nukes.
