So 11 billion

Pretty sure that is a rounding error for USAID transgender awareness studies in Uganda.

And not quite enough to teach Somalians how to pretend to spell learning correctly

Now do Ukraine and Somilia Fraud in MN.


I'm just the messenger.

As to justifying the cost for an ongoing frivolous, expensive Iran war by citing, "What about Ukraine and Somalia" -- come on, man.

Of course both are monumental wastes by ANY metric.

WE are told the US is already $39 trillion in the hole. The question for is: How many blank checks should we write for BS wars?

Are you talking about the war in Ukraine? Because that one is still ongoing too and we will continue to waste money there.

In 2024 Biden gave Afghanistan 755 million
In 2025 Trump gave Afghanistan -6.8 million
So no, Trump is not giving Afghanistan money. He actually took 6.8 million from them.

Not close to analogous to spending billions on BS wars.


Totally analogous when we spend $B on inner city parasites who then turn our blue city streets and schools into basically war zones.

You do realize more Americans have been killed in Chicago than the ME over the past week, right?

So now this is a problem, but $188 billion to Ukraine was fine?


Why does one have to be ok? They are both complete wastes of money that could have been spent improving the lives of american citizens.

In case you didn't notice, the cost of maintaining the military is always there whether they are at war or not. It's not cheap even when at peace. Without subtracting the basic cost of peace time maintenance from the added cost of munitions, fuel and transport for war, the numbers are nothing but propaganda for the weak of mind.

It makes me laugh when those that support a party whose majority doesn't pay taxes are feigning outrage on tax money being spent.

Every other country in the world seems to be able to do for much, much cheaper. Either we are inept or corrupt.
