Oh wow did not realize they changed the web site to war too. Wonder how many million they spent on that name change. Just such a bad look for the country

You didn't see their YouTube video when they launched. it looked like a movie trailer meets a Donald Trump's marketing company's yes-men agreement in a board room: "Yes, this we like this movie, make our trailer look a movie trailer from that badass Tom Cruise movie!" and it was very much like they were monetizing and marketing war as a movie, with entertainment and business value. Pathetic. They launched like a business, and I guess for the bourgeoisie class, war is a business.

Why would it cost millions? I've switched domains for just a couple bucks before. 1. Have both domains point to the same IP address. 2. Make sure both domains are working and DNS has fully propagated. 3. Make your old domain a 301 redirect. 4. Do a couple of find and replaces in your codebase and ship it out.

  I'm sorry but you forgot 2.5: pad the contracto 100 million dollars for our friend's consulting group

  Ha no, they changed it everywhere not just the URL. Physical changes cost a lot

    Yeah that's expensive. So many signs and letterheads.

  The real cost is in changing documents, contracts and other stuff. I bet that will cost some serious money.

  It costs millions because the entire point of this admin is to spend public money on their friend's businesses. It's literal mafia strategy, because that's what Trump has always done. Large, nebulous contracts where it's hard to demonstrate that the sum paid to X contractor was actually used to pay for materials and labor rather than just pocketed. That's why everyone connected to the admin is picking up billions of dollars in record time. Things being done poorly and for a lot of money is the point

At least $10 million but likely much more. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61942 https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61942

don't they control the .gov tld? They don't really have to pay a domain registrar and war.gov probably wasn't used anywhere else

  Who is "they"? Yes the US Government owns .gov. No it isn't owned by the Department of War/Department of Defense/War Department. It's owned by the Department of Homeland Security.
