Space-based weapons seem like a growth area too, as launch gets cheaper and cheaper. Hypersonic missiles and interceptors are just a new arms race.
Seems like the only thing the US can agree on is when we hate someone.

Putin was running out of time for his tour of Ukraine. I think I shall buy some LM stock. It seems like a growth area.
