The Biden administration on Monday notified Congress it has approved a possible $323 million arms sale to Finland as the country seeks to join NATO.
The administration approved the potential sale of 40 tactical missiles and 48 Joint Standoff Weapons, made by Raytheon, in addition to accompanying equipment, training and support, the State Department said in a release.

America shouldn’t even be in NATO.
At least they’re buying it.

Finish your thought please. Why not?
Millions of US Vets need help
Fentanyl wrecking lives
Seniors losing everythng when they get sick
Unsafe water in lots of US towns.
Neglected children being raped, beaten and killed.
Crap put in our food
How do you let your felow citizens live like this?
and billions more for the MilIndComplex.
with 10% for the Big Guy.
Burn it all down.
Turning on the washing machines as we speak.

How would that happen? Senior citizens are all eligible for Medicare. Please explain how someone on Medicare "loses everything" when they get sick?
Then you mean you want vastly more money for the US medical-industrial complex? The US spends 19.7% of GDP on medical services already, about $4Trillion, per capita 1.5-2X what other advanced countries do.

If you want to fix this, giving more money to the system isnt it. And then there is education...
With Bidens customary 10% kickback, he and Hunter are doing pretty damned good!

He may have meant Medicaid and long term care.
If Congress controls spending how can he do that.
