All that defense spending worked wonders in Afghanistan.

I wrote #55 before I read your comment, but you are one of the ones I referred to.

Yeah, Netflix is worth more than Russian natural gas, for sure.

And that’s why we would for sure beat Russia in a war. Because our dollar-denominated financial assets are worth more on paper than Russia’s.

On paper.

ROTFLMAO.

Most of that is wasted. Actual bullets and bombs is a very, very small portion of that budget. Most of it is research monies to cronies, or for systems that do not entirely work, or overhead for buildings and admin staff.

We haven’t won a war since may 8, 1945. We can win every major battle and still lose. Our transgenders and lesbians are not going to tip the scale. Our problem is Democrats.
