If we can simply print the money to fight the war, without consequence, then why wouldn't we?

If you give a child $11B in toys, they are going to want to play with them.

Wars aren't permanent, but War is.

But war is part of the fraud.

How about we deal with the fraud, then use that money to pay down our debt so our dollar might be worth something again some day.

And we spend about 40 billion a year on Iranian missle and drone countermeasures for shipping, the Gulf States, and our military bases in the region.

This is pretty cheap compared to the money wasted in Ukraine for absolutely nothing.

Thanks for pointing it out OP.

We gave hundreds of billions to Z and Ukraine. I'd rather our military spend it. We tend to get shite done.
