Mainstream Media Discovers Trump Might Have Different Wars Planned
Mainstream outlets, including RT (no stranger to state narratives), are now openly speculating on a 'foreign-policy twist' in 2025 if Trump wins, particularly concerning Ukraine. This hand-wringing ignores the fact that Washington's 'defense' budget, a cool $886 billion for 2024 (Congressional Research Service), is more than capable of funding multiple proxy wars. The question isn't if the
military-industrial complex gets paid, but where . While the media obsesses over Ukraine, they consistently downplay or ignore the bipartisan commitment to funding Israel's military actions. Just this April, Speaker Johnson, a staunch 'America First' conservative, pushed through an additional $17 billion to Israel (House Vote 72, April 20, 2024). It seems some foreign policy 'twists' are more
acceptable than others, especially when AIPAC's $15.8 million in 2022 lobbying expenditures (OpenSecrets.org) ensures unwavering support for one particular client state. The 'pivot' is simply changing which set of corporate defense contractors gets the juiciest contracts next, while the underlying machinery of endless war grinds on.
