Wish I had a company that made HIMARS missiles. It could take up to 3 years to produce all the missiles being sent to Ukraine. And, after seeing how effective they are, countries all over the world (including NATO members) are ordering them by the dozens.

Ukraine is not ours. Dump the obsession with this problem.

Even if you don’t care about the money, depleting stock is irresponsible.

We might need that stuff to defend actual US interests in the intervening period.

Ukraine is a money laundering scheme to funnel tax payer money through Ukraine back to politicians and their friends in the Defense industry.

It’s obvious to anyone who is honest.

Afghanistan dried up, so the military industrial complex needed another honeyhole.

Tell me I’m wrong.

All you have to do is buy stock in LMT...a publicly traded company.

Military industrial complex has to keep spending the money that’s no longer spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The US military is not on our side.

It's corporate welfare for the "defense" industry. Defund and dismantle. The USA is finished anyway.

You’re wrong. If you really think “Ukraine is a money laundering scheme to funnel tax payer money through Ukraine back to politicians and their friends in the Defense industry”, then you also have to think that Putin launched the invasion to make US politicians rich and bolster the US defense industry. Since that is absurd, you’re wrong, really, really wrong.

You are naive to think that the MIC and the world elite couldn’t have possibly set the conditions to provoke a madman like putin into the desired response in order to launder billions while attempting to disrupt the Russian energy supply while we sabotaged our own energy supply.

I wish this were simply putin acting like a fool, but it’s bigger than that. He was a useful idiot to the globalist.

Look further than the first six inches in front of your face.

If you’re not at least skeptical, you trust the government and media too much.
