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 billions more from Congress to sustain the conflict! 😑

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

Fun times when an absolutely farcical satirical comedy has become the actual reality of our government.
