Each Tomahawk Missile Costs About $ 1 Million by panafrican(op):
Each Tomawak missile made by Raytheon Co. costs almost 1 million dollars US. No surprise the Washington warmongering establishment wants to drag Trump into a war at the expense of the ordinary peaceful American people.

War is wealth and profitable to the powers that be

You think 1 million dollars is a lot of money for a government that spends 2 trillion in Iraq and Afghanistan ?

Besides, the money does not really leave the US

for example,

US government buys missiles from Raytheon:

----> Raytheon pays taxes to US goverment
-----> Raytheon employs people, pays their salary ----> those people pay taxes to US government
----->Raytheon pays whatever profit is left to shareholders ----> Shareholders pay taxes to US government

US government is not really losing. grin

And that is the whole point: get involved, spend much money and let us (the establishment) reap mad profits..

Isn't that precisely what Russia is doing in Syria as well?

Defense companies make money by selling weapons to hotspots...is that even a surprise? undecided
