    Thise statement is purely inflammatory and riling up everything.

    Furthermore, they’re spending multiple paragraphs talking about how much money is being spent and how bad it is without actually saying anything, those are just filler paragraphs intended to further rile up uncritical readers.

    And then quite a few of the examples are just stupid and their criticism ignores how those things actually work, and they completely ignore that it is a war and that you cannot publicize everything due to security concerns. Also calling this a proxy war is just LOL.
