I dunno, I've heard it said that it's just a big currency laundromat, big foreign aid annually that comes back here in other forms as donations toward influence. Enough to make a guy's head spin.

Money goes to Ukraine. Ukraine deposits into a shitbag company like FTX. FTX donates to libtard campaigns.

I haven't chased anything, only heard/read, but what I've seen/heard is that it's bipartisan where political parties/angles are considered.

I’m surprised they seem to think that Tomahawks ain’t vastly outdated and would have any chance against Russian SAMs and their air defense network. The Tomahawk is far too slow and old to get thru S400’s or even S300’s IMO.
Russia has always had a leg up on us when it comes to missiles and rocket engines. They had to, because they knew they could never compete with our USAF. Hence, since the 50’s, they’ve put a ton of effort into their missile programs and that has paid dividends as seen by their hypersonic missiles which we really have no counter for, along with their IADS.

In the same post-industrial USA timeframe (mid-late 70s to present) RUS maintained its R&D and mfre capacities and expanded them. While the USA was throwing them offshore. And in the same timeframe, last 25 yrs especially, companies engaged in industrial business in the USA, they have become bloated with excess middle management and their R&D areas, limited by the prospect of profitability -- which is first not second or third, in priority.

There is a whole other consideration on the subject of educational rigor/quality in either country, same time frame 70s to present.

In both comparisons, our country comes up short. But nobody likes talking about either one. The nearest we get is occasional circus acts regarding college curriculum items. Nobody's got the cojones to say, "education is not about feelings and especially not feelings of victimhood."
