    “As part of the Department’s ongoing commitment to strengthening our national defense, the Secretary of Defense has directed the disestablishment of the Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and the development of a plan to rebuild it in alignment with the Department’s strategic priorities. The Department remains committed to conducting rigorous, forward-looking strategic assessments that directly inform defense planning and decision-making."

    Like many of his other cuts, it’s likely more about restructuring so he can put his own people in the roles. I remain skeptical that Trump is actually some sort of committed isolationist as liberals want me to believe (even though I’d prefer if he was).

    It’s extraordinary how Americans have elected someone who is actively weakening the country and no one is doing a fucking thing about it.

    Putin is a genius.
