#2I'm not saying the Trump administration is compromised/influenced/managed by Russia but if they were I don't see what they'd be doing differently.

Yes, it was Putin that was walking into DC every other month demanding the US strike Iran...

Then taking down the Maduro regime and the Iranians who are both Russian allies, arming Ukraine, and enabling out-of-theater sinking of Russian ships?

#5 > If Lockheed dedicates the entire Troy, Alabama line exclusively to JASSM-ER and produces zero LRASM anti-ship missiles, the maximum rate is 860 per year. That drops the timeline to 2.2 years, but it means the Navy gets zero of the anti-ship missiles it would need for a Taiwan contingency.
US losing on manufacturing, automobiles, renewables, human talent, global good will, etc.

Maybe it's not a question of if the administration is compromised, but rather who is doing the compromising. Hell why can't it be both?

Madurismo without Maduro.
Ukraine? Sure, after extorting them for campaign help (minerals later) while Russians murdered their families.
And we're not "enabling" the sinking of any Russian ships.

Nothing to see here, moving along.

#10Good. They were sunk costs.
This opens it up for newer ideas - the age of hideously expensive missiles is over.
