During Biden’s entire term, total U.S. support to Ukraine was $184B.
Now look at just 20 days of conflict with Iran:-
• $100B already burned in munitions, operations, and assets
• 20+ MQ 9 Reapers lost
• Multiple high value missile tracking systems destroyed worth $700M to $1B each
• Massive offensive + defensive deployment costs
All this….. against a $315B economy under heavy sanctions.
So in less than a month, the U.S. has spent roughly one third of Iran’s entire GDP just to sustain the fight.
And now another $200B is being requested.
This could easily spiral to $500B.
Meanwhile:-
• U.S. national debt ~ $39T, heading to $40T within months
• Debt to GDP 124%+ and rising fast
At what point is this not “strength” but strategic overextension?
If your opponent can force you to spend hundreds of billions to contain them, who’s really winning the long game?

Mass debt, everyone goes broke, liberals get in office and fix it with ubi. Ubi leads to mass adoption of world digital currency. World digital currency locks everyone into a system where they can control exactly how much money everyone has and can debank political enemies whenever they want.

My favorite part about the defense budget is the tens if not hundreds of billions of $ they spend specifically to prevent their budget from being reduced by federal law every year. I can’t imagine how many Michelin star level dinners we tax payers have funded for these assholes.

Kind of crazy that the enormous military budget was apparently just for training, R&D and some manufacturing/stockpiling assets, but not enough for actually using those assets and training.

$200B more for war?
