You guys told us it had cost $200b. Now you admit it's only $33b, and you are still whining.

And no admission that you were wrong in the first place.

Imagine thinking fraud on our home soil justifies a war and disruption of the world's oil supply.


It's not the fraud that justifies it. It's all the dead Americans at the hands of Iran.

Not all of us just want to look the other way when our people are killed. Not all of us pretend that a dead American is only bad if it happens within the 50 states.

Doing nothing when attacked only encourages more attacks. Somehow, that very basic concept escapes many of you "conservatives."

Cue the "we weren't attacked" denials of reality.

Obama freed up $100B for Iran to access

Trump is in the minor league on Iran financial involvement currently

Plus, Trumps funds went toward eliminating weapons capability. Obama totally funded it

And the U.S. has given Ukraine 195 billion of which 184 billion was given to them in Joe Bidens 4 year term. Gtfoh with that 33 billion. So Joe Biden gave them 6 times as much to accomplish nothing other than funneling money back to his campaign.


This type of mentality is so fricking stupid. One president being a complete incompetent potato does not give presidents after him a free pass to do dumb shite. The US should not be sending money overseas, period. Not in the form of aid or in the form of war. Spend that money improving the lives of the American citizens that are funding this bullshite.

The amount of money is negibile .
To me the issue is the administration is just lying about the operation.
Several posts on here lately that the military is running low on munitions. The posts were met with TDS and whataboutism. Those posters were correct we are running low.
The DOW has said little damage was done to U.S. bases and that wasn't true.
For a country with no navy or air force they seem to be able to inflict a lot of damage.

We waste more money on SNAP and other welfare.

At least we are getting something for our money in this case.

And let's not forget the likelihood of having a nuclear bomb dropped at the local farmer's market or your front door.

It hadn't happened in the 30+ years it was supposed to happen, but this was going to happen soon. Trust the plan.

The Neocons just dusted off the "fight em over there, so we don't have to fight em here!" bullshite that sold the idiotic Iraq disaster. It was Trump's recognition of the idiotic nature of the Iraq Waste that gave so many of us hope that Trump was actually different.

You know the rules. Ignore the point, immediate blame previous administration and/or compare it to something years ago
