And that’s just what they admit to publicly.
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.
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.
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
Isn’t this technically loaned to Ukraine?
And they’ll be asking for returns
They’ll get Ukraine to join the EU and then EU citizens will pay for it.
Sounds like a plan. It will also force EU into a direct war with Russia
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.
Capital directly benefits from spending money in this way, and directly suffers if social spending increases.
Instead of spending a fraction of that money to improve its own people’s lives, the US yet again prioritizes supporting fascist scum over valuing human life. The US terrorist regime needs to be sent where it belongs, the dustbin of history!
It seems they got rattled by Russia’s rebellion against NATO. They want to preserve their hegemony as much as possible.

I’ve always found personifying U.S. and its relationship with its neighbors to be very useful. It all scales up and down with ease.
The US’ actions can sort of translate to those of an abusive single father.
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
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.
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.
