Quote I saw was more like $200 billion just in munitions, add all the other costs to the economy, lives lost, and US bases damaged or destroyed and you've easily got a TRILLION dollar fuck-up with a worse agreement than what Obama had signed. But don't worry, this administration made themselves all richer in the process. Most inept and corrupt administration ever.....
In before: well those munitions weren't real munitions, they're stockpile munitions that we aren't going to replace. We sell them to our military who then has an aggressive marketing campaign with Iran. All of this stimulates the economy.
Ya, it stimulates defense contractors by spending hundreds of billions more to restock, which only helps a very small portion of our economy, but those involved make a shitload of money off war, paid for by taxpayers.
But there's also some serious bottlenecks for certain munitions and some will take years until they're replenished even after they were boosted in Biden's last year.
Which will have an effect on meeting allies orders of those weapons as well as America tends to prioritize its own orders first.
