What’s he going to fuck up this time?

America’s growing insistence that NATO members boost their defense spending

From the worlds biggest weapons exporter…

Well, they’ve boosted spending a lot. But a lot of the newly added spending was to non USA suppliers, mostly EU. Why? You had the F35 killswitch debacle, making USA made things less popular. Trump also forced Ukraine to develop their own cheaper version of HIMARS. Then there was also the Iran war where the one outstanding thing USA had, patriot defense, was suddenly out of stock. Let’s not speak about modern drone warfare, where the USA can’t even compete, seeing how well Hormuz went. Shenanigans with how USA suppliers handled their customer’s money didn’t help. Art of the Deal stuff, really. Profitable in short term, devastating for long term repeat business.

Fuck me. I Wish Donald and America would just stick to messing their own country up. God knows what this orange idiot is going to say to make things worse.
