THE FATAL FLAW UNDERMINING AMERICA'S DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE

Brian Berletic

Feb 25, 2024

- The US DoD published its first National Defense Industrial Strategy report, detailing major problems preventing America from mobilizing its industry to out-compete Russia and China;

- Most problems identified by the report stem from the DoD's dependence on private industry, yet private industry itself was never identified as a problem;

- The foreign and domestic policy is based on profit-driven prioritizing, creating industry that pursues profits at the cost of fulfilling that industry's role in providing goods and services for society;

- Russia and China maintain massive state-owned enterprises not only to manufacturing arms and ammunition, but also downstream suppliers for providing raw materials and goods;
