       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump releases a statement setting forth his intention to increase the Federal government’s budget for foreign military aggression by 50% over the next 12 months:

       I have determined that … in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion Dollars.  This will allow us to build the “Dream Military” that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe. … [W]e are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number while … at the same time, pay down Debt, and likewise, pay a substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country!

       NOTE: Although Trump used the word “country” here, the editors believe that s/he meant to use the word “nation,” in which a central government, with almost limitless power, treats its constituent states as mere enclaves, provinces, or sub-divisions of its greater self; as opposed to “Union,” which is a union of sovereign States under a federal system, with a central government whose powers are strictly limited by a respected Constitution.
