Link: Bombenomics: Biden admin circulates map showing states that benefit from Ukraine aid

Bombenomics.

They’re admitting in this article that this just to get rid of old inventory to— you guessed it, go to war with China!

Something something highest stage

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[1][5

Damn, if only he thought about this before spending billions on the military industrial complex and ramping up the cold war.

I can’t wait til people start bombing Amerika. If the Iron Dome folded because of a couple Palestinian rockets, I have no reason to believe Amerika’s missile defense is all that.

It is my firm belief that Americans will not stop bloodthirsty warmongers unless they are forced to experience war on their own soil.

Amerikkka doesn’t have a national anti missile system. There’s never been anyone shooting missiles at amerikkkka, so why bother? On the other hand, zionists are actively facing resistance. They need iron dome to not get blown to hell by rockets. Also, the world is getting nuked at the point when people start bombing continental us. The amerikkkan empire would rather end the world than have a world exist without them.

Do the undetonated cluster munitions buried underground do a quick check to see if it’s a Ukrainian or Russian child they’re about to blow up?

Nope, they don’t. It’s war though - if you’re really against that, you should advocate for all the Russian soldiers to fuck off back home and put the war to an immediate end. :)

Why not go fight yourself? It’s the height of cowardice to send someone else weapons and shove them into a fight you yourself won’t take up arms for, while claiming to do it for their freedom.

Ukraine is still accepting volunteers. Why aren’t you there?

It’s wild to me you’re openly defending the US government admitting this war is all about getting rid of old stock so they can do a nuclear war on China. Liberals are fucking ghouls.

Right. Russia invading Ukraine is all about the US.

Putin is obviously a long-term CIA plant furthering the US’ agenda of destroying Russia and making money off the blood of innocents.

agreed, death to israeli occupiers/invaders and American invaders in Syria and Iraq. Death to the NATO occupiers of The Ukrainian SSR

You’re right to a point, but none of these other conflicts you’ve listed are nearly as black and white as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
