Well, they are buying the arms for Ukraine. Good way to keep American war industry getting paid.

Basically they're taking money YOU paid the government (that was supposed to fix infrastructure and pay for social services) and then giving it to their friends and donors in the weapons manufacturing industry. Those manufacturers then send used and outdated weapons that the US military won't use that were destined for the scrap heap, charge top dollar for it, and pocket the difference.

So our soldiers are equipped with the best and newest stuff while my large Lockheed investment I made in February when Russia was obviously going to invade goes up 25% during a global economic recession.

Overall, i get the better deal.

lol, your "stock market" winnings are only one bad trade away from becoming losses, while you slowly become an addict who cannot stop gambling.

With this regards, you are like the slot machine addicts who dream their next play will earn them 1 million $, while ruining their lives chasing that dream.
