There’s a simple answer:

“We made a lot of money under Trump. We made even more money under Biden. I think we’re going to continue expanding whoever is in office next,” said Luckey.

Which is why I continue to whinge about war, regardless of the topic. The military-industrial complex is a scourge on our society. Unfortunately, the appearance of a" justified" war doesn’t change that fact, even if we want Ukraine to win.

There’s a simple answer:

Yeah, but it’s still surprising. Most Trump diehards are pro-Russian. I almost have to respect Luckey for being driven by money above all else; at least this makes him a known quantity.

As for your other comment, I can’t even begin to imagine how that stands up logically. Russia could steamroll whoever they want if we weren’t armed.
