The stupidity of US politicians.
 

$2.4 trillion plus. The cost of fighting ISIS, Gadhafi and the costs of things to come.

And yet in the US, there are far more important and pressing needs that could be solved with that money. Education, Healthcare, infrastructure, jobs, social housing, etc. The problem is War is more profitable for the few.

This is without the lives of Americans lost due to it putting their priorities on trying to solve other people's problems before their own. That has always ended in making other people's problems worse.

This isn't an attack on America or Americans, only that tiny minority who want to fill their pockets with other people's money.

you also have to factor in the costs of ruining their economies...the ME could have been a prosperous business partner to the EU and USA...instead the EU is getting refugees and the cronies are counting the $$$$...

but the EU politicians are just as much to blame...they should impose sanctions on the USA and confiscate US ships and Planes, unload all the goods and passangers and fill them with refugees and send the results of US foreign policy right back to the USA...this way they are insulated by an ocean and use europe as a buffer zone for their bullshit...starting wars on OUR side of the pond...

I hope trump makes europe wake the fuck up and brings the EU closer to russia and china...as things stand, US foreign policy is wiping its butt with our future...

yep, war´s not good...

all the money spent of defence & war fare is even more than these figures. If every country just stopped, think how rich our counties & lives would be :2 cents:

By that logic the USA should pull out of NATO too. If the Czech Republic cannot defend its border again so what ...

We could save a lot of money ...

In every war, someone makes big money. Locally, or globally. There were no real need for the most of the wars in last 50 years or so

Yup...good thing we didn't elect Hillary or that number would double in about a week
