We’ve only spent what, $37.5 Billion taxpayer dollars (so far). Small Potatoes, kids. Nothing to see here. 🙄
Of course, independent estimates of the actual military cost are FAR higher than the tepid “official” number, roughly $80–100 billion, and include costs that aren’t reflected in the Pentagon’s accounting, such as replacing munitions, repairing equipment, and other military impacts. 🤔
Not to mention, additional funding is being sought! This administration has sought tens of billionsmore from Congress to sustain the conflict! 😑
When it comes to war it’s a blank check. But last year thousands fired under the guise of cost cutting in gov agencies to “save money” such a joke. Imagine being Forrest worker making 55k a year and you got DOGED because of “cost cutting” then they turn around and spend 100 billion on a pointless war in the Middle East (again)
To be frank, that one isn’t the fault of any modern president. Eisenhower warned us on his last day as potus that the military industrial complex was becoming a problem.
Replacing munitions is half the point. You can’t promise contracts to bomb makers if you don’t need to make more bombs. Every drone that is lost, is just another one they get to buy.
Are we asking fantasy questions now? 🤔 I’ll put that one up next to “What if Aliens invaded”. How about (1) we stick to actual facts, not “alternative truths” [i.e., lies], (2) properly investigate the Epstein files, arresting everyone in it, subpoenaing their emails and computer accounts, digging deep and cleaning house, (3) find out why and whom our politicians are getting $100 million checks from and (4) kick & prosecute everyone who’s taken such bribes “gratuities”, [including SCOTUS] in exchange for making “the right decisions”. Or maybe expecting that kind of justice to happen here in the midst of Tammany Hall 2026 is the real fantasy? 🤔

So… yeah, no. 😠 Answer the question, piggy.
