So before the war, this "money" was spent to solve America's social problems, right? (/s)
Obviously not, and we all know it wouldn't be. Thats part of the point being made no? Our government prioritizes funding its proxy war over caring for its people as usual.
Isn't what they're sent weapons of that "value" and not actually that money?
Pretty sure.
There's actual money transactions as well
So the majority not, though
It's still money wasted. If US subsidized cars/homes instead of bombs, people get cars/homes. "Forcing" Russia to expand military production so rapidly is going to force us to spend more on bombs too. Russian GDP growth is higher than US even after inflation/currency drop, because everyone has a high paying job due to alternative of military enlistment and weapons production. The US following suit would also drive inflation and crowding out employment from "useful sectors"
Global prosperity is necessarily higher at peace. Supporting what is possibly the most evil war in history, with such extreme mind control for programming tolerance for it, shows imminent collapse of world order and US empire.
Yeah fuck those Ukrainians what a waste of money
How about the genociders instead of the ones that need protecting from our old enemy who never stopped the Cold War with us? Yeah, get this pro Russian imperialist propaganda out of here.
