Trump Wants Ukraine to Cede Land, Not the Pentagon Budget
The New Arab reports Donald Trump advised Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to cede land to Russia or face 'destruction.' This conveniently ignores a crucial detail: the immense profits generated for the US defense industry during prolonged conflicts. For decades, both Republican and Democratic administrations have fueled proxy wars, not through peaceful negotiations, but by funneling billions into
the coffers of Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. While Trump plays negotiator, one might wonder: where's the call for the US to curb its own military spending? Or for NATO expansion to cease? It seems 'destruction' is acceptable, as long as it keeps the defense stocks booming. This isn't about Ukraine's land; it's about business as usual for the forever war lobby, disguised as 'tough talk.'
