They spent $4 trillion & 20 years and still lost to barefooted goat herders in Afghanistan.

So whether they spend $100 trillion, e no go change anything.

Everybody knows that US weapons are over priced & over rated.

The US military is well known for paying exorbitant amounts for even the littlest of things.

The US army once paid $42000 for an item originally sold for $62. That's how bad it is for them.

What China or Russia will buy with $32 billion, it'll take the US $5 trillion to buy the exact same thing.

you think US is interested in winning?? No they're only interested in control. If destroying Iran will lead to control of middle east, then it's a win for them.

60% of that money would disappear (unaccountable).

Their Pentagon has failed all audit since 2018 and couldn't account for 2 trillion dollars back in 2001 (before September 11th attack).

oz4real83:
how is your Iran enjoying the bombardments?🙄. Why is your Iran not attacking Israel like it is doing to Kuwait and others despite the fact that America jets are refuelling in Israel?🤣

This one doesn't know that Iran is dismantling US radars and air defense systems that used to protect Israel from Iranian missiles.

Now Israel is being laid bare. These air defense systems in the Gulf countries accounted for more than 70% of all Iranian missiles that were shot down while heading to Israel.

When Iran is done destroying those systems you will understand why, don't worry.

I heard that the targets are picked by the TR-3B since the MQ-9 is easily shot down these days. The global hawk has been flying out of space and the TR-3B manta picking targets inside Iran. Even the US cannot detect it unless the operator grin

US already at war with Russia – Tucker Carlson (VIDEO)

The “neocon war lobby” in Washington is driving the Ukraine conflict against Americans’ interests and with no valid justification, the conservative journalist has told RT

The US is engaged in a proxy war with Russia that could escalate into a global conflict within years unless Washington changes course, renowned conservative journalist and podcaster Tucker Carlson has told RT’s Olga Bataman and Tara Reade.

There is no convincing strategic, political, or moral justification for the US to be in conflict with Russia, Carlson insisted, claiming that the Ukraine conflict has been driven by what he described as the “neocon war lobby” in Washington out of “hatred” for both Russia and Europe.

“The truth is you can’t make a case for war with Russia,” he said on the latest episode of East Meets West with Olga and Tara, aired on Wednesday, adding, that the US is already there because the CIA is targeting Ukrainian attacks on Russia. “We are at war with Russia. I grieve saying that. It’s so crazy. It’s so reckless. It’s so destructive... but we are.”

Carlson warned that those pushing for a confrontation with Russia fail to understand how damaging it would be for the US, arguing that the policy is driving Moscow closer to Beijing, Washington’s main geopolitical rival.
“If you’re pushing for war with Russia as an American, you’re trying to destroy the United States. It’s that simple,” he warned.

Asked whether US President Donald Trump still had a chance to broker peace amid mounting sanctions pressure on Moscow, Carlson replied: “I don’t think there is, no,” noting that sanctions are also “an act of war.” He cited the Sanctioning Russia Act – championed by the late Russia hawk Sen. Lindsey Graham – which imposes tariffs of up to 500% on imports from countries that continue buying Russian resources and which Trump recently agreed to adopt, ostensibly to honor the senator’s legacy.

“Why is Trump going along? It’s because he is a slave to the neocon war lobby,” Carlson said, arguing that the entire effort is driven by “a tiny group” of people” with “evil motives” who are trying to provoke a new world war. “And I think we’re going to get this war. If someone doesn’t slow this down right away, [by] 2030, I think it’s imminent.”

According to Carlson, any settlement to the current conflict would require the US government to confront interventionist forces in Washington and “reclaim the political system for the people” from this lobby. He suggested that Washington could follow Russian President Vladimir Putin’s example in curbing the political influence of wealthy businessmen after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a move Carlson said had “reclaimed Russia.”

Na sharp summary of the news story about Tucker Carlson and the Russia-Ukraine war in Nigerian Pidgin English:

Tucker Carlson Say US Don Already Dey War With Russia
American journalist Tucker Carlson talk for one interview on Russian network RT say America no just dey support Ukraine with money — dem don already enter full proxy war against Russia. Him talk say US intelligence agency (CIA) dey directly help Ukraine choose targets and throw bomb give Russia.

Why Him Talk Say the War Dey Dangerous?
No Good Reason: Carlson claim say no strategic, political, or moral reason dey for US to fight Russia.

The Neocon War Lobby: Him blame a small group of powerful politicians for Washington (wey him call "neocon war lobby" wink

say dem dey push war out of hatred for Russia and Europe.

Pushing Russia to China: Him warn say this fight dey drive Russia go meet China (America main rival), which fit spoil things for US for the long run.

World War Warning: Carlson talk say if nobody stop this trend right now, World War III fit happen before 2030.

The New Sanctions Bill and Trump
Carlson talk say even President Donald Trump no fit stop the war again because him don join hand with the Washington war group. Trump agree to support the new Sanctioning Russia Act — a major bill pushed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham — wey go put heavy tariffs and sanctions on countries wey dey buy Russian energy. Carlson talk say heavy sanctions like that na another act of war on its own.

Bottom Line: Tucker Carlson dey warn Americans say their leaders dey drag dem into a dangerous war with Russia wey fit cause global disaster if dem no reclaim their political system.

The U.S. hegemony is maintained by wars. It is not a surprise that they are the world's largest arm producer. Always money for war, but never for taking care of the people. Same country is ravaged by homelessness and inaccessible healthcare. The military industrial complex wins again.

An educated illiterate. You saw information and you swallow it hook and sinker. They put source there, you can not open it because of your hatred for Iran. USA passes security budget like this every year, where do you see because of Iran.

Talking about priority, and yet, they still don't understand how China was able to put them behind and made them trailing

A very corrupt process with kickbacks. Just like when Donald Rumsfeld casually held a press conference and announced the Pentagon had lost trillions. U.S. Congress has been bought by lobbyists and special interests, while the executive branch has the same issue and is controlled by the military industrial complex. Those politicians get compensated by military contractors. The Pentagon isn't spending that much to do anything. It is how the government officials get paid. They are not living on their official salaries with some engaging in inside trading.

And U.S. has since gone bankrupt🧐. Some humans are just ungrateful. If you sit your ass down to think about what the world would look like if America had not paid the price to ensure the minimal freedom of choice you and I enjoy then you would be grateful! Imagine if Iran was the world power that U.S. is could you make the critical post you just made without endangering your life and freedom 🧐! Think and be grateful!
