20. Raytheon makes the Tomahawk missile.

If we had a legitimate watchdog in the SEC they would investigate trading of Raytheon stock
as well as the oil trades just 15 minutes before the illegal war started.

This is why I added Raytheon to my IRA stocks last year. I figured that Hegseth would be bribed into using
their products and that Trump would eventually provide the the pretext. I'm sure both of them have managed
to put a sweetheart provision in the budget for most defense contractors. There's too much corruption
to keep up with at this point.

I forgot about the oil stocks, though. Should have seen that coming. Windfall profits are almost too easy to manufacture.
