The thing about 'preparing for war' is that they're not preparing for war, it's all Nuclear Missiles, Nuclear Submarines, any ridiculously expensive, completely useless tech they make a fortune on
They don't say "Lets have 5 million soldiers" because they wouldn't get that money

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
