The American push to fund Kyiv’s war effort has created big economic opportunities for Mesquite, Texas, and other cities around the country. Some of their G.O.P. congressmen want to end it.
I wish there was anyone in Congress who opposed this sort of thing out of an understanding of the pernicious nature of the military industrial complex. I feel like it’s a perfectly reasonable position to hold to not want your country to just be three defense contractors in a trench coat.
Why would they? There’s only 535 people in Congress. Giving each of them a million dollars in “donations” every four years is basically a rounding error.
