And that’s just what they admit to publicly.
Good thing there were no massive fires recently in any states within their own country that need aid, or a widespread epidemic of homelessness, or people starving in the streets.
Must be great that they have everything so under control domestically that there is absolutely nothing else that that money could be spent on. So yeah, keep it going forever, that seems to make sense.

There are usually half a million homeless people in the USA. That means that they could’ve bought each and every one of those a 200k dollar home with that money. They could also have paid a total of 50 million months of rent at the 2000$ median price. And this is even taking as a premise that housing should be sellable or rentable in the first place. And yet they preferred this instead.
Any Yankee around still not convinced that the USA government needs to end, this is your moment to reconsider.
Literally no one I know is happy about this. I have yet to meet a single living person who approves of all this unchecked money and equipment being sent to some European country most people didn’t know about until 2014.
Ain’t no war better than a proxy war. Libs don’t lose their kids, political support so easy to maintain
Love to see the defense stock skyrocket. They’re the real winners
That’s not really astounding to me. Hell, our government made the decision over a weekend to give 22 billion to bail out Silicon Valley Bank. Our government spends this kind of money without blinking. They only act like it’s too much when it would be used to help the average citizen.
It seems they got rattled by Russia’s rebellion against NATO. They want to preserve their hegemony as much as possible.
God how many lifesaving materials could that money buy
hospital equipment, hospitals, vaccines, infrastructure repair, debt relief, healthcare, fucking anything!
but now its just burned on a war they will lose in like 3 years
Isn’t this technically loaned to Ukraine?
MIC has made $113 Billion in profits.
Imagine spending these money on useful things
If US spent even a fraction of the money it spends on trying to cling to global hegemony on fighting climate change we wouldn’t be in a climate crisis right now.
$1 million dollars to everybody living in the USA with billions left over.
Healthcare? Nope, too expensive.
Better water or power service? Nope, too expensive.
Public transport? Nope, too expensive.
War? Oh shit yeah! Money 🖨 go brrrrr!
TIL there are 113,000 people in the US
Nah it’s only 337 dollars to everyone living in the USA. But I agree that it would have bought a lot of healthcare and infrastructure instead of pouring it down the toilet that is the Ukrainian military.
