The Guardian notes this is 4 yrs old. I remember this info circulating in 2016, but everyone ignored it. Russia is openly jubilant about Trump in power, & other tools such as Gabbard in key positions. We're sunk, unless we can get our act together. Now.

They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
