Good! I LOVE eliminating my CHILDRENS SCHOOL MEALS so we can fund ANOTHER War!
-Fiscally Responsible Republicans who voted for Trump to AVOID War!
~$570 per person. And that's the starting amount, it'll go up.
These figures don't count a lot of legacy costs to these conflicts either. Which skyrocket with injuries to soldiers and the like.
They also don't count the economic and social costs of the long-term fuel and food shortages and supply chain disruptions this war will cause.
But just think of the profits for department of war contractors like open ai, nvidia, and palantir.
Not to mention the traditional crowd (Lockheed, Boeing etc)
Nvidia has a lot to learn, GPUs are buy once, cry once. Munitions are disposable, and need to be replaced. When nvidia manages to fit a H100 in the body of a missile, the real money printing begins :)
And the oil companies! Their profits are skyrocketing
The military budget is already damn near $1 trillion. Go fuck yourself with a rusty spoon
recruitment/military almost always downsize when a dem is in power, but it was immediately reversed when trump became the president the first time.
Fund it yourself Donnie, I want no part of this epstien fury bullshit.
200 billion taxpayer dollars and many American soldiers' lives, is a small price to pay in service to the Epstein class!
How many trillions did we end up spending in Iraq again? Look at what we got for it. Nothing. Except hate.
Imagine the improvement in your entire country’s lives if you put that into healthcare instead of….this.
That is probably about the same amount of money Ukraine receives in 3-5 years as aid to fight Russia. MF gonna give it all to Netanyahu to turn kids lives into living hell.
Yet Zelesnky still support this war. With how long this war will last Ukraine may lose the war to the russian invaders
How does he support it? He did not start it and if Russia just pulled their troops back to their own country borders, the war would have been over today. It’s the Russian soldiers on the Ukrainian soil, not the other way round
He support the war on iran who benefits the russian invaders because the usa is always going to backstab all the other allies to protect Israel
Well, we all know why Zelensky supports this war. People who are not able to see anything other than black and white deny the possibility that a country fighting against fascism might be enlisting bad allies to do it but that is what is happening here. Asking one fascist to save you from another fascist only saves the day and probably comes with alot of strings attached that likely empowers the other fascist.
You're surprised that Zelensky isn't upset that the arms supplier to his invader is being attacked? Why would he be?
Russia already moved away from Iran drones. They was given the tech and Russia are now manufacturing their own drones based on the Geran. Now look at the consequence on Ukraine: Israel got prioritized for defense and both Iran and Russia are exporting more oils and get new revenus
Israel has been prioritized for defense for the last 80 years, and Trump has been expressing reluctance to support Ukraine for the duration of the fight. So, except for the Russian cash flow, which is significant, what has actually changed?
This is the mother of all wars for Israel and the current war is going to involve to the most serious regional war since 76 that is the huge difference.
Even under democrats , Israel will still be prioritized and all defense equipment would be rerouted to Israel
So, again, for Zelensky, what has changed?
Even less resources for Ukraine to defend itself. More profits for Russia to continue the war of aggression effort with the easing up of the sanctions on it by the USA
You can't trust the trump administration with this kind of money, look at chick who got fired from ICE she stole 125million and put it into some company her people own. You can't trust these people with anything.
"small price to pay to distract the media from reporitng epstein files, which i am definitely in it, but dont want the people to see how depraved i am and my billionaire friends"- TRUMP.
200 billion dollars for pitting the whole world on a blackout like Cuba? what a bargain!
He should pay out of his own pocket if he had no approval for starting this stupid act of aggression.
Can I have $200 billion? I have an important proposal for a special military operation to free Ohio from the tyranny of corn
Can't tell if this is political commentary on the corn lobbyists and the power they wield in America, or if it's a jab at Ohio for being nothing but corn fields.
Yes
