“I Am Shiva, the God of Death”

As a god on this earth, his monologue that starts Michael Clayton is the stuff of dreams.

So US, Canada, Mexico, a lot of South America, the Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, UK, Ireland, Scotland, all of the EU (27 countries with an 18 trillion gdp), any other western aligned or NATO countries Norway, Iceland, Australia and more…

Versus china and a country with a smaller economy than Texas… you got things backwards.

Do I need specific info to recognize that “the military industrial complex” is not a single homogenous entity that goes around loaning and selling to whomever independent of any oversight, national security concerns, or contractual obligations?

Are you referring to some “the CEO” of the MIC? Keyword here is “complex” as in various uncoordinated entities… not a single block selling weapons the gov contracted for manufacture to anyone on the side.

Just think a little… You do realize congress purchased those weapons, it’s up to the US gov to decide what to do with them. Lockheed doesn’t just walk over and double deal a stealth fighter to the highest bidder like a car salesman with a quota…

It’s shit like this that gets people discouraged and missing the reality of our support for Ukrainian independence. It’s not a MIC thing as much as some people would like to simplistically align our support for Ukraine with Bush’s war in Iraq. It’s misguided and potentially dangerous to misconstrue this shit like that.

You describe a scenario divorced from reality, ignorant of national security, ignorant of who owns what yet you’re asking me for specifics?

It’s almost like it’s not that ridiculously simplistic.
