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.

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.
