Now I understand better why Skynet hates humans. It was fed MAGA hatred from birth/inception.
The US National Security Strategy seems to be—at least in part—written/edited by AI.
There are hallmark AI em dashes in nearly every other paragraph — shocking but unsurprising.

Cool. We’ve ripped up the social contract with young people, so they can’t afford to buy a home, or settle down and have children or ever retire. Let’s now force half of them to be trained only to do jobs they will hate in order to stop people from other countries moving here for a better life.
Turning half of unis into voc colleges could cut student immig a lot
"To underwrite the industrial strategy half the universities should be turned into vocational colleges linked to the needs of the armed forces+industry
We desperately need a skilled workforce that does not rely on immigration"

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
The more local police see ICE assholes as criminals, the better it will be for us.
