Pentagon Inflates Crisis for More Secret Missile Cash
The U.S. military industrial complex has a long history of inventing or inflating external threats to secure funding for its pet projects. This isn't groundbreaking; it's practically doctrine. Remember the 'missile gap' of the Cold War—a fiction that fueled massive arms buildups? Or the 'weapons of mass destruction' that justified a multi-trillion dollar war in Iraq? Each time, the public is told
the sky is falling, necessitating another blank check for 'defense.' This 'secretive, ultra-long-range missile' isn't just about 'competing against China'; it's about maintaining a perpetual state of fear that justifies ballooning budgets while domestic programs wither. When was the last time the Pentagon had to prove its claims of imminent danger before receiving billions? One might wonder if the
real 'threat' is transparency.
