Defense contractors are forced to ramp up production but want long-term government guarantees of sales.

Business fears that they may expand production, but there will be no demand in three to five years.

Also, the lack of semiconductors and other problems with logistics have led to the fact that the order is three times longer than before the start of the conflict.

I thought we were told that it was all about protecting democracy and a free world, turns out it's all about money.

but want long-term government guarantees of sales.

That sounds like asking for a new war

Power projection to enforce their unsustainable way of life? But yes, I understand what you mean. Bit surprised to see it so cynically out in the open, though, it is usually veiled with some bs flowery language

Yeah, projecting power over the empire is definitely a big part of it. And agreed, masks are starting to come off in the west, and we're seeing increasingly more plain language being used to explain how the empire sustains itself.
