President-Elect Trump’s Military Loyalties？
Conspiracy Questions
President-elect Trump has tweeted two “out of control” military spending comments in regards to aircrafts this past month. The first was December 6, 2016 about the new 747 Air Force One. Developing a new Air Force One takes 4-8 years. The outcome of his decision will not result in any potential harm for himself. Instead, his successor, the future president of the United States, will be at risk. The president-elect’s most recent critique was over the F-35 jetfighter on December 12, 2016. Many western allies along with the United States military already have orders in place for this new line of stealth fighter. Not only is this major break from what he promised during his campaign, cancelling development of the F-35 will also weaken the military might of America and its allies of the Western World. Furthermore, this action harms the American economy. To develop these planes, the Pentagon issues thousands of sub-contracts across the country. Ending them takes jobs away from American manufactures. This development sparks a question. Orders for the F-35 spanning the next 20 odd years have already been placed. Will the United States refund, or even be able to refund, them? If not, why? Was the money already spent on something else? If so, what?
Another troubling issue also needs to be considered. What are president-elect Trump’s ties to Russia? The president-elect does not seem bothered by the fact that Russia may have influenced the election in his favor. Many may recall that he himself asked Russia to interfere with the election by tasking them to find democratic representative Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 missing emails. The most recent development is the appointment of Rex Tillerson as his next Secretary of State. Tillerson, the outgoing chief executive of Exxon Mobil, has close ties with Vladimir Putin, the current president of the Russian Federation. Back in 2013, Putin awarded Tillerson with the Russian Order of Friendship. The question that arises here revolves around Russia’s aggressive military development in Northern Europe. Is president-elect Trump purposefully weakening the western military power? The U.S. military, as it stands, is still the most powerful in the world. It possesses the world’s first and second most powerful air force. The North American continent has no need to fear from an invasion. Europe is another story. If the European continent falls into war with Russia, what will the United States do? Of course, America will support its allies, but to what extent and effect? Is the weakening of the military connected to some unseen war?

If you speak only of influence, then Saudi and media investments for Hillary Clinton count as well, and in that case, foreign nations have influenced every American election ever held. If however, you want to imply that Russia controlled or sabotaged the election then you would need prove it before you ask for a comment, as the president likely has no time for every liar and tabloid on the internet.
I do not know about his requests for Hillary’s e-mails, and even if they did, it should not matter if those e-mails are the truth. More information makes better voters. It is the people that try to hide incriminating information about candidates that are really sabotaging the election.
“ancelling development of the F-35 will also weaken the military might of America and its allies of the Western World. ”
It’s upside down. The F-35 has weakened american power by taking obscene amounts of money for an inferior product. It should have been ended long ago.
There is proof about Russia hacking emails and websites campaigning for Hillary. The programs used have been traced to Russian “offices.” Better evidence can be found in the recent French campaign. When America was being compromised, they took care to cover their tracks, but not so much in France. I’ll admit that this isn’t so much hard evidence, but still very reasonable and useful.
In regards to the emails, he made such a claim during a campaign rally. As for whether I believe they should be made public, yes, to an extent. The public should know what they were about, but not the specific details themselves. Classified information should remain classfied. However, the people who retrieve said emails shouldn’t be a foreign nation.
The aircraft that are officially built by congress are at least 3-10 years behind in the first place. That particular plane has very low upgrade potential (mostly due to unique to only that model parts, and inner body design) making it less effective in the long run. Considering we have some plains in combat zones that are older than most college age students. This makes it less than ideal for us to be making more than a sparce handful of that stealth model. But, Congress sets out who is going to make the plains and the amount made, thus we will get more than a handful and the whole project will be over budget…
And all this above could be solved by giving the military the right and ability to manage its own funding and assets. Negotiate an amount every year for funding.
Also love tje site btw
I kinda feel as though this post became somewhat irrelevant a few weeks after it was written. The policies proposed as of now suggest something different than what was said here. Still, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this.
