What always amazes me is the person who coined the military-industrial complex was President Eisenhower, someone who one would expect to be part of it. The US spends more on the military than any other country. Cessation of hostilities around the world would definitely hit US corporates. I think it is no co-incidence that with the Afghanistan pull out that the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts started. Trump will never be allowed to bring peace to both the middle east and east europe unless a conflict opens elsewhere. Taiwan, Greenland, Panama? US politics is too dependent on big donors and the military-industrial complex have lots of finance for the GOP.
