Oh, oh...
The US defense industry is losing orders as the US is starting to be regarded as an unstable country and ally with tariffs playing directly into it. $300 billion yearly at stake. Lots of high quality non-US manufacturers seeing more business.
Communists and political resistance (not establishment) are already violently repressed.
