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.

Don’t be silly; America isn’t three defense contractors in a trench coat.
It’s at least half a dozen: Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, HII, and EB. And that’s just the biggest ones.
I mean tbf they’re not actually making new stuff either way. This is just old stuff that’s not really used anymore.
The article is about the construction of a new factory.
Oh fair enough then.
