When the banks needed help, they called it “stabilizing the economy.”

The Atlantic reports that Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are dragging their heels on licensing Patriot interceptor production to Ukraine. Officially it is intellectual property theft. Unofficially, according to a Republican on Capitol Hill, they are terrified the Ukrainians will improve the thing and then build it faster and vastly cheaper. Which is not a security concern. That is a business concern.
And honestly, they are right to be scared witless. Hand a Patriot to people who have spent four years making drones out of plywood and spite, and within a year you get a missile that works better, costs a fraction, and does not require a congressional appropriation and a light aircraft carrier of paperwork.
The whole American arms bazaar has been quietly exposed. Gold-plated, built for the last century, and thoroughly humiliated by cheap drones and man-portable air defence. Nobody marking up a hundredfold volunteers for that.
