Donald Trump Jr. claims Biden admin, ‘military-industrial complex’ is trying to start ‘World War III’ ahead of father’s presidency
SUMMARY
Donald Trump Jr. accused the Biden administration and the "military-industrial complex" of trying to escalate the war in Ukraine, claiming their actions are aimed at starting "World War III" before his father, Donald Trump, takes office in January. The accusation came after President Biden authorized the Ukrainian military to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia, a major shift in policy. Trump Jr. argued that the military-industrial complex wants to escalate the war to secure massive profits, stating, "Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!" This decision allows Ukraine to use the Army Tactical Missile Systems, which have a 190-mile range, to target the Kursk region, just north of the Russian border. Ukraine had been pressing for this capability for months as it faced setbacks on the battlefield. President Trump has vowed to end the war and is positioning himself as the only leader capable of negotiating peace.
