War weapons fetch a lot of money for countries that manufacture them....like the US, Russia and China. Agree with Shirley's comment - pieces of love and mountains of greed.....

Yeah, all those black armbands and protest marches didn’t amount to anything changing, Rico! We really thought we could do something back then…

Norway can afford to feed, house, educate, and provide excellent healthcare to its citizens, but the USA military budget exceeds that of China, Russia, and North Korea combined, so Congress dismisses those "frills" which do not make their billionaire benefactors happy! Aloha!

I changed the title after GOP Senators again ignored their constituents to vote what is best for the GOP. Billionaires do not pay taxes under the GOP, but the Inflation Reduction Act requires a minimum tax of 15% - about what the average waitress pays! Aloha!

There's money in missiles that's for sure. Tom

When the assault weapons are sold for protection, then the missiles are sold for defense... There is a tremendous amount of money in killing...

President Biden proudly announced his visit to the Middle East won the $3-billion sale of Patriot Missiles, and $2.2-billion sale of High-Altitude Missile Defense, to Saudi Arabia, which will wisely be distributed to promote peace in the Middle East (Valsa need wonder no more why people in the Middle East bang their head against the wall!).
