   This war against #Iran 🇮🇷 might last much longer than previously thought.

   👉🏾 #Trump increasing production of military supplies https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116184185735585906

   Ironically, the energy disruption hurts #America 🇺🇸, but thanks to the “conquest” (more like bullying current leaders) of #Venezuela 🇻🇪, sweet talking #Alberta in #Canada 🇨🇦 (latter needs to counter the separatists movement) & national drilling, the US is not as affected as most nations on Earth (this war really hurts #Asia & #Europe).

     @schnedan Yeah, us tax payers are going to pay for all of this one way or another.

     Yeah, if demand is this high, then it is not surprising that the US is asking allies to help “fill in the gap,” especially from the UK 🇬🇧.

     @darnell its true that defence spending and production with Apollo, Space Shuttle,... being also defence projects, have stabilized the US and prevented to fall back to pre WWII poverty. (Of course backed by a strong dollar and the ability to sell debts to finance the cardhouse).

     No need to tell also that modern chip technology was at most financed by the US defence system. So silicon valley would not exist without it.

     The question is: how long that scheme will continue to work?

     Quadruple production means high costs. somebody needs to pay for that with real money or debts.

     PS: BAE Systems a US Company?
