The excessive U.S. military spending is by no means about protecting the people. The point of it is to make billionaires richer. That is why it does not matter whether military spending yields any return or benefit, as investments in the healthcare system, infrastructure, or virtually any other sector would. That is not the intention; it is primarily about redistributing public funds into private hands.
Now it all makes sense: So the wall that orange Fuck wanted on the border with Mexico was meant to keep all the Americans inside, just like the Berlin Wall used to do between East Germany and West Germany.
I can’t wait until he sues his own wife.
Yep, another favor for the buddies - plus, it gives the U.S. oil companies a great excuse to raise their prices too…
Edit: Opportunistic’ Fossil Fuel Execs Cashed In on Trump’s Iran War With Record Stock Sales
The Iran war - or rather: this war of aggression waged by the U.S. and Israel in violation of international law - should in and of itself serve as a catalyst for the creation of a new international community that no longer grants imperialist powers a veto right or permanent membership in the “Security Council” - you know, an institution that actually punishes violations of international law and genocide.
Yes, that’s true, but what I mean is that there are certainly good reasons why the US, despite decades of hostility, has never waged a direct war of aggression against Iran.
I also consider it a foregone conclusion that Israel is now exerting its influence on this corrupt regime to finally bring about this war. I’m more inclined to think that Trump would likely have actively instigated it himself, even though competent military advisors - who undoubtedly still exist in the US even under this administration - would have advised against it for the same reasons they quite clearly did under all previous administrations - this incumbent president, however, is so incredibly unscrupulous that he would have ignored all warnings and tasked his own lackeys with the planning, as he would have felt his narcissistic hubris wounded if anyone had contradicted him.
This seems to me to have happened in the current situation as well: Presumably, competent generals advised him against implementing Israel’s plan, and presumably he fired or ignored them for that very reason, which is why schools and hospitals are now being bombed and the world is sinking into chaos.
Yes, that seems only logical, given what a degenerate idiot he is. However, I very much doubt that the US regime would have come up with even a halfway feasible plan if Israel weren’t using the US for its own purposes.

Yes, that’s the point of my comment, albeit a joking one: The absurd wall that the orange pedo built can now serve the same purpose: keeping U.S. citizens trapped in the hellhole that the U.S. has become.
