Arguably out of all the times pepole should complain about us military spending this is probably the worst .war in ukraine is probably one of the most just conflicts america was invloved in since probably the korean war or perhaps even WW2 . Its pretty rare to have a situation where you can say one side is the bad guy with such a certainity.And its not like they are sending troops or anything.just equipment and ammo ,more often that not american made, which means most of those dollars stays in USA either way.
Alghtough the fact that the usual US military budget is overblown is also true.
And its not like they are sending troops or anythin
I HATE this argument.
Yeah, we’re not sending soldiers, but we’re still getting people killed for this war. You know why? We neglect our own people’s needs. There are people dying in heat waves that we could save with proper resources. There are diabetics who need insulin. We don’t have a health care system, and if you suffer a major injury or illness, chances are you’re dying or going bankrupt.
Our war spending gets our own people killed, just maybe not with a missile. There are real life consequences the poor and middle class experience because our government chooses to make war profiteers richer every single year.
But you know just as well as I do that this money would never go to those causes. It would either go straight back to the military budget, or to rich people’s pockets in the form of more business tax cuts.
Not a big fan of this “us or them” attitude. Ukrainians matter as much to me as Oklahomans, and a large part of our country’s wealth comes from extracting labor and resources from underdeveloped nations. It’s only right that we spend that hoard helping outside our borders.

Our entire right wing in the US rolls like this. Like literally the only time they scream and shout and threaten is when people are just, competent, knowledgeable, and reasonable. They hate anything that works well and love blanketing the earth in mass misery.

Literally the only time you people whine about wasting money is when it’s used to keep a bunch of nazis away…frikin ayyyyyy.
