By Executive Order today, the Trumpf junta will change the name of the DOD to the anachronistic Department of War, but the name change would likely require an act of Congress. And to no one's surprise, the Trumpf junta intends to halt longtime security assistance programs for Europe, including an initiative to fortify the continent's eastern flank against a potential attack by Russia. This will impact hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military aid relied upon by NATO's most vulnerable members. US allies are struggling to comprehend the junta's policy toward Europe and why Dummkopf Trumpf ended Vladimir Putin's diplomatic isolation of ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin. The White House said its move to slash security assistance was "coordinated" with the Europeans and is consistent both with Trumpf's executive order to reevaluate US foreign aid and his "long-standing emphasis on ensuring Europe takes more responsibility for its own defense."

The Trumpf junta is obviously aligning the US with the Kremlin as the Dotard is no doubt a Russian asset. Earlier this year the Trumpf junta signaled the US would no longer participate in NATO military exercises after 2025. In response, the EU and Canada have been "Trumpf-proofing" their collective security with the Re-Arm Europe program. Europe is planning on defending its borders without the US for the first time since 1949. China may take advantage of any Russo-European conflict to invade and absorb Taiwan while the Trumpf junta fiddle-faddles, pretending to try and find a "peaceful" solution, to just as we have witnessed them buy time for Israel and Russia to conduct their brutal offensives against Palestinians and Ukrainians. One AI calculation of the costs to idiotically change the name of the DOD to the Department of War: $50 to $100 million of American taxpayer dollars. Trumpf junta insiders would no doubt get any necessary contracts, as we have seen with the construction and operation of ICE facilities. Links: End of NATO; Dept of War.
