Trump pausing, stalling, and threatening to stop aid to Ukraine is proof otherwise.

USA is now an unreliable ally at best and the military industrial complex is a massive loser because of this switch.

The military industrial complex doesn't care who their weapons are used against. Trump plans to add a trillion to the Pentagon's budget, with most of it presumably going to private contractors. How are they losing?

Trump could've easily done that without alienating the rest of the world.

Also, Trumps budget only spans a few years while a good export relationship ensures decades of business.
