Anduril’s New “Arsenal 1” Arms Factory: Selling Fear of China to Profit at “Hyperscale”

“For Americans convinced by Luckey’s rhetoric that China truly is an urgent threat to them and their way of life, it is actually Palmer Luckey, Anduril, and other companies and individuals like them demanding America “leverage the whole of the nation” by diverting resources needed to thrive at home, toward efforts to antagonize and coerce other nations abroad.
This results in transferring the wealth of the American people toward Palmer Luckey’s over-priced weapons and ultimately toward his next new home, rather than toward better education, healthcare, and infrastructure for the average American man, woman, or child.
In the end, Palmer Luckey and Anduril pose a much greater threat in reality to the average American and their way of life, than any threat China is claimed to pose in fiction.”

His only quibble is that I incorrectly claimed 1 of 2 products has yet to be tested. The other part of his argument was mocking me over my physical appearance.

He says I am a greater threat to the American way of life than China, but is actually just jealous of my hair. https://t.co/kjDxLfANAb

This is America’s “deep state” – unelected special interests using lies to drive and benefit from US foreign and domestic policy, indifferent to the American people whose tax dollars provide them their profits and who they claim to be “defending” – and offended when faced with criticism or questions from those same American people.
Anduril profited under Biden and will continue to profit under Trump – all while playing its role in promoting war with China and anywhere else it thinks it can sell its wares.
