The three smartest words that Donald Trump uttered during his presidential campaign are “NATO is obsolete.”

Which is probably why he was vilified on both sides of the isle.

Way too much money is spent on arming NATO.

Trump also vowed to not enter or start any war while in office.

There is so much money in developing and producing weapons of war that to be a politician and make speeches about leaving NATO, the UN or to talk about getting out of conflicts that we are already in is pretty much suicide.

I have little doubt that Biden made sure that we left the billions of dollars of arm in Afghanistan intentionally so that those arms would not be repatriated.

Those arms thereby must be replaced. More dollars spent.

The older I get the more cynical I become about the Military Industrial Complex and our Federal leadership.

Smedley Butler had the war racket figured out really well.
