    I can't access the article, but I'm curious how the US spending $25B on equipment has dramatically affected the price of circuit boards.

    Just re-ran an identical order from December, and a PCB from Shenzhen is up just around 4% so far.

    My opinion is that Trump has walked into quicksand with this war of "Weapons of Mass Distraction" from illegally concealed Epstein Files evidence.

    A "forever war" works only if it was planned as a domestic control strategy, and this seems so unplanned, with inane diversions such as his bunker ballroom and focus on seashells, similar in ways to Emperor Caligula's seashell harvest.[0]

    It would seem that he's buying time to think up some escape mechanism, as the damage and disruption mounts.

        yeah, most likely what's going on is various project 2025, Russian interests and the bog standard military industrial complex are all pushing him in their preferred direction and instead of say, choosing one over the other, his dimentia means he's just going to choose all of them cause it's not like he had rational consistency before the dimentia so why would that matter anymore.
