      Actually way less than I thought it would be. I guess JDAMs are relatively cheap compared to some of the other stuff we have.

      Every start of the week you will see new price tag to keep news media busy and away from Epstein files

      But who is paying for it because last I checked the Elite Class was too busy having sex with children to pay taxes.

      Americans would gladly sell their organs and their children to fund this… judging by them not storming the WH yet. Fuck it, muricanes are russians 2.0

      Edit: Feel free to downvote me to hell if you dread the truth so much!

      Imagine what you could do with that amount of money: roads, railways, hospitals, schools, research, etc.

      I suppose it’s more important than… What was Trump doing in this war? Bombing children? Destroying every diplomatic agreement? Killing his leader to replace him with a more radical and vengeful version?,How can we make the Iranians think that making nuclear weapons is not an option but a necessity to avoid being attacked again? did they raise the global price of oil? I don’t know about you, but I don’t think they gained any advantage from these operations.

      That was days ago. Probably be over $20 billion in a matter of days if not already.

      Surprisingly cheap tbh. It’s 0.3% of Nvidia’s market cap, Jensen can fund this without blinking.

      It’s all good. The generation that’ll have to pay for this isn’t the ones making the decisions

      Trumps making a shit load of money and Jared , thank the taxpayers of America , it’s a USA war against the world .

      It’s no problem, they’re using the money they saved on food stamps and health insurance rebates.

      Think of all the grade school Trump brand bibles that could have gone to underprivileged schools instead of teachers or nurses in lieu of overweight „security personal“ that are just awful cops collecting overtime and stealing drugs off the kids, at least that’s what they were back in my grand old days of the early 2000’s.

      Dude, that’s like half of my country’s anual military budget. How can the American people be OK with that kind of useless spending. (I know most are NOT ok, but still)

      12B is enough to begin the construction of American fast railways, or built lots of infrastructure to the population.

      US is getting good at becoming aggressor nation. Putin will be proud and happy because he will get more foreign currencies and distract world away from war in Ukraine.

    19. MachadoEsq on

      Don’t forget about the cost at the pumps and other downstream economic benefits!

      Impossibly low figures, and anyone who believes that is functionally insane.

      I am so sick of this corrupt administration and the stupid people who continue to believe their „facts“ and „data“.

      That number also doesn’t account for carrier deployments, aircraft flight hours, fuel consumption, missile defence interceptors, equipment losses, or the cost of sustaining forces in theatre. In modern military operations those categories add up quickly.

      This war has already **provably and directly** cost US taxpayers **FAR** upwards of $20bn USD, and the true figure will be much higher. We cannot account all costs of war even at the best of times, never mind with a fraudulent, corrupt administration which lies and obfuscates the truth.

      See below:

      **The cost was over $11 billion (USD) at the end of the first week.**

      … this should also put into context the $10 billion he ~~won~~ stole from the ~~IRS~~ American People

    24. TimHuntsman on

      Dang. Just think of all the Billionaire we could prosecute from the Trump Files w that kind of war chest

    25. despenser412 on

      Our country is useless. The pedophile billionaire president has shown the world that the US is absolutely controlled by wealth.

      Epstein, ICE, Iran, his inexperienced administration failing at everything, and zero repercussions. He’s involved in a wealthy pedophile sex trafficking scandal, and zero has been done about it. Our country is controlled by wealth.

      He had no experience in politics, military, or government, and very stupid people believed that *this* was good for America. And when you’re dumb enough to vote for a wealthy businessman, you’re dumb enough to believe whatever he tells you.

      At this rate 2 months of war would have bought universal Healthcare for all of you for a year.

    27. Ok-Enthusiasm3114 on

      Would have been waaaay cheaper if the US had actually done something to Trump considering his involvement in the Trump-Epstein files.
