Pentagon keeps failing audits

"In 1990, Congress passed a law directing all federal agencies to produce regular, audited financial statements. More than thirty years later, the Department of Defense is the only agency that has never passed a single audit. Now the Pentagon has announced that it has failed its fifth attempt."
Military uses cover of buying a toilet seat for $10000 and a simple cup for $1300.
We are talking about trillions of dollars just vanishing to some unknown cause, maybe its a secret underground base, maybe it goes into some generals pocket maybe its funding black ops programs that kill people. No one knows where trillions are going missing.
What the actual fuck?
I know this forum loves talk about some barbie movie or how many genders there are but this is where we get serious.

many such cases

And are there any meaningful consequences when a government department fails an audit. No not really.

the military-industrial complex always wins, the last honest Republican president warned us about this

Cause people's balls shrivel up when it comes to the real power. No government branch dares to challenge the military industrial complex.

At this point they could exempt themselves from any accountability, take a dump on presidents desk in broad daylight and no one will say a word.

What's really fascinating is how people raise so much noise over trivial things yet when it comes to the biggest problems there is almost an eary silence.

All in All when it comes to rather unstable times and almost in the entirety of history.

The security of a nation always takes priority over everything else.

With that being said, the military industrial complex will always win and make money. If the board members and shareholders are not making enough..they will create something out of nothing so the MIC makes money at any cost.

A couple of thugs who shake you down for protection money have evolved to an almost unstoppable criminal organisation so vast and powerful governments have to walk on eggshells just so that they don't upset the real bosses.
I would go so far to say that it intentionally starts wars to justify their existence. Oh look here is some bad guys now give us almost a trillion to fight them for you.
Biggest drag on society. Now ofc they have acquired enough weapons secret technology and vast amounts of bases where they don't even need us anymore.

Probably gearing up to replace us with robots and Ai anyway.

I cannot agree more. This is the essence of what we are going through.
Some might not agree with me obviously.
The biggest problem we are facing now is not the rise of other nations taking over one another or I will go further i.e the Russians and the Ukraine Kerfuffle.

These are the problems IMO that are really wrecking our world sooner than later.

1. AI / Hyper AI
2. Climate Change
3. Food Security
4. Far Left and Far Right ideologues
5. The inability to live and let live for people of different religion , race , creed and political leanings. The inability to agree to disagree.

In regards to AI and Hyper AI. The United States and China are the leading proponents right now. They are going to screw us over sooner or later.
The trade wars , the perceived threats , the refusal to back down , negotiate from both sides are pushing them to quickly advance the AI technology.
Because at the end of the day which ever country that wins the AI war will have control or have a large stake in leading the World Order.

It will no doubt be ruinous for the world.
