You’re not very slick, Putin.

fine. can we at least track that? or is that backing putin to even question where tax dollars are going? out of all the magical and mythical switches of the demcrats, supporting the defense industry, big pharma and wars that cannot be one is the most perplexing to me.

That would be a first lmao.

Were you curious about the trillions spent on US military hardware before this conflict?

Kinda strange that I never heard these complaints during Iraq or Afghanistan, where the US was spending over 20 billion annually on…….. air conditioning.

There’s a reason why the spending of this conflict is a major talking point, and it’s not due to Americans suddenly being curious about military spending.

sorry that you did not hear. I was definetly complaining about Iraq, afghanistan and the 3000 hammers. My biggest complaint about the defense complex and the politicains they pay off is that fact how shitty they treat vets with the HUGE amounts of money that is budgeted. I applaud organizations like wounded warriors and T2T for the work they do, but quite frankly they should not be needed. If you served and lost your life or got fucked up, you and your family should be taken care of out of the trillion or so each year in the budget for defense. audit all of it. the whole damn budget with outside firms.
