It's not even stupidity in some cases. Its cult behavior.

If he says it's true it's true. If he says the opposite then that becomes true.
Any historical context or evidence is discarded to accommodate the new truth.

Hasn't there already been one Senator who said something along the lines of- if Trump says tariffs work then they work because everything he says is true?
We have always been at war with EastAsia

In most cases, the weapons are obsolete, mothballed, or replaced. The money spent replacing them is money that was going to be spent regardless of whether there was a war or not. Arms manufacturers get a relative pittance refurnishing Sep 1 M1A1 tanks, but the US is not buying more tanks because some old refurbished junk went to Ukraine. I mean look at Australia, we sent M1A1s to Ukraine, and replaced them with M1A2s, but we already committed to the M1A2s, they were being bought regardless, and decades old used M1A1s just arent worth that much. Arms manufacturers made didly squat.

People are vastly overestimating how much money arms manufacturers are making from this war, relative to how much this war is costing the global economy.

All the bombs and missiles and shells the West sends Ukraine comes from the back of the shelf, the old stuff, and this stuff has a use by date. Send it to Ukraine, and buy a replacement, or throw it out and buy a replacement. The arms manufacturer doesn't really care either way. Old F16s, and the US isnt buying more fighters because of it. Old Javelins, which have an expiry date, and get used in training, or sent back for disassembly. Old howitzers.

One of the problems the West had, was arms manufacturers were unwilling to spend money on new factories and new production lines to rapidly ramp up production, because they saw higher demand due to the Ukraine war as a small blip in demand, which wasn't enough to justify spending money to increase production capacity. However, if this was was the manna from heaven golden ticket for arms manufacturers people seem to assume, they would have been falling over themselves to ramp up production to grab a bigger share of that enormous lucrative pie.
I agree with a lot of this. Which leads to the point of the US is spending a fraction of it's military budget and in return is causing chaos in Russia economically and politically and generating a huge amount of IP in drone technology. As value for investment goes, it's pretty good.

And Trump loves playing second fiddle to other people
If they donate a billion or so you get a choice of job.
Elon is proof and others.
Trump is in this due to how much money he can make.
Its his DNA alas 51 percent only voted.
 
And Trump loves playing second fiddle to other people
I guess it was inevitable that the GOP would capitulate to another party in order to retain power.
We all thought it would be Trump though.
Turns out it's a white South African exile billionaire.
Apartheid anyone?
