US isn't in any new wars.

Hell the US hasn't really even given the tanks to Ukraine talked about in January.

Crazy Jib
We spent more on weapons of war in the last 1 year than we did in 20 years of afghanastan.

I hate you people, war isnt "white american boys dying" it's us manufacturing bullets and giving them to revolutionaries.

Pft... Military expenditures by the US during the Cold War were estimated to have been roughly 8-9 trillion dollars. And that wasn't a real war.

We were also a lot richer back then...with manufacturing, etc.

We're on par with the most recent Iraq war in terms of monthly spending.

So we're effectively at war, we're just not dying over there (yet)

The world was in ashes. The thing about a dream is you eventually have to wake up.

I'm sure the fact that China MAGICALLY became successful just after taking manufacturing away from us is pure coincidence.

You people act as if manufacturing for the entire world isn't majorly lucrative...

How in the fuck can you possibly say that with your political alighment.

Please tell me you were pro IRAQ war and thought they had WMDs. PLEASE dont tell me you were against that war.

PLEASE dont tell me you think pulling out of Afghanastan was a good idea.

I can't live in a world with this kind of hypocrisy.

They want to care about the environment, have free healthcare, but spend as much on military as we did during the cold war.
