A different, not all that helpful, kind of early warning system.

There’s that old idea: if you see a bunch of people frantically running in one direction, run with them. They’re probably running from something worth running from — a terrorist attack, Godzilla, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man… you get the point. That same logic has now been adapted for the digital age, courtesy of a project that treats billionaire travel habits like an early warning system for the end of the world.
First noticed by Boing Boing, developer Kyle McDonald’s “Apocalypse Early Warning” site is predicated on the simple, cynical premise that if a catastrophe is looming, the rich will know first and flee immediately, like the cowards they are. They’ll get on their private jets and haul tail to their personal quaint and quiet private islands or whatever.

‘No idea it was coming’: Pentagon officials stunned by Hegseth decision on troops in Poland

“The Poles certainly have never criticized President Trump, and they do all the things that good allies are supposed to do,” said Hodges. “And yet, this happens.”
But they're all Catholics in Poland, and we know what both Pete Hegseth’s fundie Calvinist church thinks about Catholics in general and what Trump thinks of the current pope in particular...

Or maybe, like so many things the current regime does, someone must have thought it seemed like a good idea at the time.

There are several stories about cutting training due to budget shortages caused by a small excursion overseas. This could be a similar issue.
