It's another example of the shutdown's sweeping global impacts.

    Oddly enough, a few days ago I read that the NATO now outproduces the Russian wartime defense industry in missiles and drones. That is what NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said, anyway.

    When I read this before, I thought something like, “Watch this be the thing that ends the shutdown.” But I didn’t want to be cynical.

    Then I look today and what do you know, I see the more recent post you made about how enough democrats caved: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9717322

    I don’t know for sure it’s related, but considering how easily and often US congress bipartisanship shows up when it comes to military funding while seemingly having so much trouble showing up otherwise, it would fit.

      you know I didn’t even connect the two things till you mentioned it, but it’s so obvious in retrospect

      Blowback Season 3 goes into how the libshits couldnt get fuckall passed domestically during the truman administration so they pivoted to military buildup which was bipartisan to stimulate the stagnating economy and make it look like they were doing something.
