    This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . .

    In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

    The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

    Jan 1961 President Eisenhower's farewell speech

It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.


      Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.

        The Soviets as instigators of a (real or imagined) conspiracy of communist / leftist parties, guerilla groups, agitators.

        That's how it reads to me.

        Have you got a better alternative interpretation?

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
