The Pentagon is expected to cancel a plan to send Tomahawk missiles to Germany partly because officials are concerned Russia will view it as an escalation, a startling reversal of a long-planned agreement with one of America’s biggest allies.

I'd wager the US has blown through way more of their stockpile than anyone expected since they keep throwing munitions ineffectually at Iran. Cancelling the German deal means more capacity to build back their own supply.
This is possibly the real reason. But they’ll never admit that.
There’s no way in hell this little nonsense in Iran lobbing missiles from ships offshore is anywhere near a fraction of a percent of the weapons used in both Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three wars there.
“President avoids instantly granting the military industrial complex additional funds.” That’s an ousting. Please be an ousting. Surely negative market performance and sentiments are enough to make this an ousting. I’m on my hands and knees begging for an ousting. Capitalism, capitalize. Please.
Love how america chooses this moment to give up on it's influence over the world. Appropriate action for the average level of education about foreign policy over there.
"Chooses" is quaint. Dongald is your fig leaf. Now we get to have a BlueAnon stab-in-the-back narrative.
The purpose of "foreign policy" and "economics" and other compartmentalized academic fields that produce think tank experts is to justify US actions abroad. It's why they go to great expense to install their influence in foreign universities. Though for redditors who think that boilerplate liberalism is some kind of epic countercultural narrative it must seem very forward thinking
