BRUSSELS — United States arms-makers are being frozen out of the European Union’s massive new defense spending plan, which aims to splash the cash for EU and allied countries, according to defense spending plans released Wednesday.

Also left out — for now — is the United Kingdom.

    The best way to hurt the US is to remove the flow of cash into corporate hands.

        If stuff like this doesn’t elicit some kind of response from those “deep state” folks I keep hearing about then I think it’s safe to say they don’t exist. What would they be hiding that power and influence for if not to protect their interests from an idiot like Trump ruining the game for them?

          They probably have cyberpunk like ambitions at legal corporate armies and the dismantlement of all nations and powers able to contend with them as their long term goal. As long as it is just money lost in the short to mid term I could well see those kinds of people go along with the circus.
