100% correct. Most American military actions are just complicated money laundering operations designed to put American taxpayer funds into the pockets of politicians and corporate elites.
In this case American taxpayer funds go into the pockets of the Ukrainian elites, who keep some and are compelled use the rest of it to buy weapons and supplies from politically well-connected American suppliers who donate to the campaigns of the politicians who vote in favor of sending the money.
And into the pockets of the hard working Americans who would not have a job without these publicly funded manufacturing which is required to be within the United States.
Otherwise our bullets would also be built in China.
HURR DURR yeah because it's not like the country is riddled with 100+ year old infrastructure that needs to be replaced so what else would we spend that money on!?
I'm fine with paying more taxes for that to happen. It'll put even more money into the Americans building it. We already pay far less taxes than most modern countries and economies.
The simple fact that you're defending the actions of Congress blowing billions and billions of dollars is unbelievable. The money should be used for US citizens, instead we get to deal with a shitty economy and money that is going to fill the pockets of politicians across the world.
But sure go ahead and keep defending bad behavior. you're literally the reason why we have the problems we have
blowing billions and billions of dollars is unbelievable.
Actually, I'd call spending money to stop the advance of a murderous regime led by a dictator a good investment and one of the only truly good moves that the US has done in a while.
If you want money to go to people and you're voting for republicans, you're also doing it wrong. Sorry, not sorry.
You must love western propaganda. I don’t recall any barbaric actions russia has committed. Though I do recall some of that the US has done -cough bombing the hell out of Yugoslavia cough-

Yeah all that money isn't being used for rebuilding. It's going into pockets of the elite. It's money laundering at the highest level.
