      Must be true if RussiaToday says it.

        And what is the outcome so far?
        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.

          Like all profit making businesses it's supply and demand driven. You should probably understand that.

              Military spending increased under Trump, and was flat under Obama-Biden administration.

              By the way - “military-industrial complex” is a typical Soviet propaganda term, it was wrong back then when applied to USA and it is more wrong now - companies that make weapons make fook all money and worth about as much, the real performers are Apple, Google, Facebook, Intel etc

                How many wars has Trump started? How many did Obama start?

                In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

                  How many times a day do you check it - is there a minimum requirement?

                    I gave you the chart showing flat military spending, so under Obama “military-industrial complex” got less money than under Trump, despite having wars under Obama vs no wars (apart from civil war that he re-started) under Trump.

                    This “warmonger” Biden is the same Kremlin talking point from 2016, same bulltulip.

                      You mean this?



                      You're saying between 2012 and 2016 it was flat?

                      The warmonger Biden stuff you mean this?
