Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.[1][5

I can't wait til people start bombing Amerika. If the Iron Dome folded because of a couple Palestinian rockets, I have no reason to believe Amerika's missile defense is all that.

do americans just not understand that bombs kill people and the people they hurt are real

also for a government the sums listed are just petty cash

Look! We're actually profiting off of prolonging the bombing of Ukrainian civilians

What kind of monster do you have to be to look at that map and be like:

"Oh wow, all this prolonged destruction and suffering makes it so I can buy two or three new video games...I guess I love the war and the ghouls, wait not anymore...Noble Patriots that are causing this!"

Oh right...

<-that kind

Do you know how many jobs that dead Palestinian child created in Pennsylvania? Still think that genocide is bad tankie?

They're really hitting the "Yeah, we're war profiteers and wantonly murder children without restraint, but here's why that's good actually." level of liberal smugness, aren't they?

Something something destruction of capital.

My dad has openly told me that he supports Ukraine because his job at the docks gets more money when the US government ships military equipment

Literal warmongers

“As Department of Defense leaders have said previously, support for Ukraine has mobilized the U.S. defense industrial base, in ways that haven’t been seen in decades,” DOD spokesperson Jeff Jurgensen said in a statement when asked for comment. “Our industry partners all across the nation have stepped up to meet the kind of production, manufacturing and infrastructure investment capabilities to directly support U.S. commitments to Ukraine — and that will build the kind of industrial base capacity we need for the future.”

bolded ominous statement is ominous

This just in: Biden Adminstration does not recognize Long Island as part of the State of New York.

Washington only saw $28 million in "supplemental impact"? Did Boeing miss out on the military contracts?

This is liquidating the lives and livelihoods of people in a country the average citizen couldn't find on an unlabeled map again.

"Listen Jack, I know you have Raytheon shares too..."
