Trump took military actions during his presidency. I'm not in denial about that, and I do care (I want that to stop, too). But rolling back the omnipotent warfare-State begins by rolling back the boots on the ground and closing overseas military bases. Yes, we need to shut down the droning and AI cyberwarfare, as well, because that is how the MIC is trying to "sneak" their wickedness into a supposedly renovated "New Normal" that has gone through a "Great Reset" and there's supposedly no war/poverty, etc. etc. Cheap chinese-knockoff of real peace and prosperity. So, I see the issue, and I agree it's a problem, but the Perfect really is the enemy of the Good. Close all US military overseas bases. Stop sending US troops overseas to die in conflicts that have nothing to do with us. Those steps, and shutting down the central bank, are the prerequisites to reining in the MIC. Yes, the MIC is war-gaming that scenario with drones/AI. So be it. We'll shut that down, too, when we get there, but we have to start with the basics and then work our way up to the frills.
What you see as a gradual transition to bringing them home and ending the wars is actually just a technological modernization and repositioning of what is to happen. I am not so easily fooled:
President Donald J. Trump signed into law legislation creating the first new armed service since 1947 — the U.S. Space Force.
Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act during a ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, Md, today. The $738 billion fiscal year 2020 authorization funds military and civilian pay raises, new aircraft, ship construction, tanks and armored vehicles and more.
Since Trump took office, there has been almost $2.5 trillion in defense spending.
A provision of the voluminous law created the service that will be totally focused on organizing, training and equipping Space Force, said Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett during an earlier Pentagon briefing.
"Space is the world's newest warfighting domain," Trump said at Andrews. "Amid grave threats to our national security, American superiority in space is absolutely vital. We're leading, but we're not leading by enough, and very shortly, we'll be leading by a lot."
