Trump's comeback: New Pentagon plans raise questions about military future
Trumpʼs second-term military agenda shows big shifts in Pentagon policy and personnel. His plans include changes to military deployment rules domestic defense systems and removal of diversity programs
After winning another term Donald Trump plans major changes for his next Pentagon leadership starting early-25. His previous time showed clear patterns - creating Space Force boosting defense spending and changing military personnel rules
During first term Trump made non-standard choices in military leadership (like putting ex-generals in top spots) and now hes planning even bigger moves. His new agenda includes using troops for border control and city policing - which goes against long-standing rules about military use inside US borders
- Iron dome shield for whole country
- Removing job safety rules for many workers
- Stopping diversity programs
- Getting back old Confederate base names
The transition team already has some well-known faces: Brian Hook leads State Department changes while Robert Wilkie manages Pentagon switch-over. Some big names like Tom Cotton said no to cabinet spots but many others are in line - including Mike Pompeo and Marco Rubio
I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within
Right now military deals keep moving: Israel bought 25 F-15s for $5‚2B (with first planes coming in 31). Ukraine faces more drone attacks from Russia while trying to get remaining $6B in US help before new president takes control
Current defense chief made it clear: army will follow only legal orders and stay out of politics - this comes as response to Trumps ideas about using National Guard against political enemies
Tech-world sees changes too: Canada told TikTok to close its offices while keeping app running; North Korea troops in Ukraine got caught doing non-military stuff online (Pentagon wont confirm these reports)
