Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 22, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 22, 2022 Man we are a fucking dumb country. Europe continues to laugh at us. EU has over 100 million more people than us....almost as large as economy and it much more "threatened" merely by location by Russia than the US. FUBAR.

Anler Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Why are we giving anybody anything? This is my biggest pet peeve with govt. We dont have money to provide the stuff everybody argues about (whether you agree with it or not) but nobody EVER bats an eye and foreign aid or war spending. War spending against countries who never attacked us and dont pose any threat to us or anybody else. Its criminal to the core. And in my opinion it is nothing more than a giant grift for insiders. The money goes out of the country and gets washed and stolen. $30 trillion in debt, I think we can safely assume at least half of that was stolen. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted September 22, 2022 USA Contributing Member Share Posted September 22, 2022 We need to take a bigger lead and dump more into NATO, WHO, United Nations and any other group that claims they need help as well. We are dumb beyond belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, where the fuck is NATO in all the of this, speaking of useless? Then I would like the usual suspects to tell us that Putin still would’ve invaded if Trump was president, and even if they did that Trump would be sending them all this money.

Nobody gives a fuck but everybody ignores it. Its been tens of trillions over the last 20 years. Its our money we shouldnt be giving it away. Not one American voted to do that so why are they? Answer: Because they are getting paid to do it. How the fuck does Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell come into congress with nothing and now worth 100's of millions? Gee I wonder. They arent serving their country they are serving themselves and the people who are paying them to rob us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how did Kushner use his family position to also spend US taxpayer dollars in order to get that money. Maybe there was but I haven't heard of it. I think the quid pro quo with the Biden regime regarding multiple countries is much more obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 A fraction of the cost of Afghanistan and not one American soldier dies. Money well spent. All wars should be fought via proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
