An entrenched oligopoly of five large defense contractors, down from 51 in the early 1990s, has an interest in selling the Pentagon ever-costlier evolutions of the same ships, planes and missiles.
That’s a significant amount of consolidation and yet I’ve never heard this statistic before. Lol.
The strategic challenges the United States faces — among them a rising China, a revanchist Russia and A.I.-generated cyber threats and bio threats — will outlast this administration
please tell me more about these A.I.-generated bio threats, they sound super duper real
I mean, they’re blaming Russia and China. Anyone with half a brain can see they’re just manufacturing consent for Cold War 2.0. Against the same goddamn countries as the first bloody Cold War. No creativity, these Washington warmongers. Unfortunately, a lot of people who lived through the Cold War bought it then, learned nothing in the decades after hostilities officially ceased, and will buy it again.
