U.S. President Donald Trump wrote today (June 3, Beijing Time): "Just had a great conversation with our military leaders. This is the strongest army we have ever had, although we are stockpiling weapons at an unprecedented rate. However, I hope we will never have to use them!"
[Wit] Comment: Remember during the campaign phase, Trump once boasted himself as a "peace-loving president". However, reality is always complex and changeable. It seems that every U.S. president finds it hard to break out of a circle, each U.S. president seems enthusiastic about increasing military spending and expanding weapon inventory. The military-industrial complex behind them may play a key role. The interests and influence of the military-industrial complex make it difficult for U.S. presidents to escape constraints in military policies, so they keep increasing military spending and expanding weapon inventory to maintain the prosperity of the military industry and the stability of their own political status.
