        I don’t if it’s my personal consumption. I draw the line at trying to pass it off as mine and/or selling it.

      Those aren’t mutually exclusive. Ukraine is mostly using drones that aren’t built by the MIC, which is why Trump just refused their help in protecting The US Military against Shahed drones. If he doesn’t pour money into MIC contracts that daddy Putler approved, then he won’t make the deal. The entire point is to isolate and cripple the US enough that we don’t use our insane stockpile of guns when he declares dictatorship.

            1. Ukraine uses a ton of non-natively produced drones.

            2. Ukraine uses American drones and has never been hesitant about requesting more American MIC equipment.

            3. Trump’s refusal to accept Ukrainian help has nothing to do with any greater master plan, anymore than shitting his diaper over the Strait of Hormuz being closed despite that being the #1 concern in the case of war with Iran was part of a greater master plan.

            4. Ukraine’s drone industry is absolutely a part of the MIC.

            5. Related to 4, Americans are not the only country involved in the MIC.
