The U.S. is subsidizing it's own defense industry like we've done every year for probably a century now, time to have the vice president murdered and install an obese pedophile as president for life?

If you care about helping people, go feed people.

No reason to just walk over starving people to machine gun other people so you can say you're helping.
Hint: This really isn't about helping people.

Not in any humanitarian sense anyway. Sure does help the defense contractors though.

every 1 billion spent equals 11,600 jobs (Pollin & Garrett-Peltier, 2009) new defense bill signed by Biden was for 858 billion.

Walmart. Number of Employees: 2.3 million. …
Amazon. Number of Employees: 541,900. …
Kroger. Number of Employees: 443,000. …

pretty sure if we stop killing random people overseas our entire economy collapses. I'm pretty retarded though.

no you are 100% correct, DoD spends like 1 trill a year on defense and pretty much all of that money goes into the US economy

not only the defense industry, but entire swaths of the US, whole towns and large parts of some cities all exist because of defense spending.

it's hundreds of thousands of jobs, maybe even millions, the defense industry creates alot of business for many other industries

should give yourself more credit

Defense spending is discretionary and includes healthcare, education, and housing in addition to the, uh, shooty war bang bangs they do.

Mandatory spending is a behemoth in comparison.

We’re Rome. Citizen farmer-soldier + military conquest, imperium and slavery

We keep getting better slowly, that said it’s funny how slow people are to learn they can’t fight us. All these jokers like a new Carthage lining up to get curb stomped. Russians never learn
