CNN: Top US military intelligence official says Russian military poses an ‘existential threat’ to the US
The top US military intelligence official said during a congressional hearing on Thursday that the Russian military is an “existential threat” to the United States.
“The Russian military is an existential threat to the United States,” Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing about worldwide threats.
Berrier said the country’s military is being used to maintain influence over states “along its periphery, compete with US global primacy and compel adversaries who challenge Russia’s vital national interests.”
“Moscow continues to invest in its strategic nuclear forces, in new capabilities to enhance its strategic deterrent, and that places the US homeland at risk,” Berrier said.

More lunacy from US generals, to hype up the Russian "threat", probably to encourage the government to expand its investments in defence contracts
Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier leaves so much to be desired.

Why are we paying high taxes? Because research, development, and procurement in the Western World is expensive. Plus we want cutting edge stuff to stay free. But, if contractors give it away to our enemies, why are we paying taxes?
After the Los Alamos loss of W88 tech in 1997 and Loral giving missile tech to the Chinese in the 1990s, who is not onboard with how to keep secrets? Training is yearly.
Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) are jokes.
Did anyone go to jail?
Is the fine enough for stockholders, the board of directors, C -level to break sweat?
" identified 71 ITAR-controlled drawings that between July 2011 and October 2015 it had exported without authorization," in a disclosure it voluntarily made in 2016. "
So this happened during the Obama/Biden era. Loral happened during the Clinton era.
So here is the question.
No one going to jail and the fine is a joke. IT IS ALMOST AS IF DEMOCRAT ADMINISTRATIONS WANT IT TO HAPPEN!
Very convenient that the government lawyers (actually GOOBER LAWYWERS) let this play out for 4 years and only brought the conclusion during the Biden OCCUPATION of the White House.
