Small loan of 80 billion dollars
Don’t they already have 1.5T?
Musk just got some fresh dough, probably want to check with him. I'm sure DOGE has you covered!
Privatize the gains and socialize the losses
They want even more. Of course they do.
Is that to cover the $80 billion in missiles launched, or is this just the first installment on that $300 billion which we were assured would not be paid by taxpayers?
I mean, at this point you might as well stop wasting money on the military anyway, we all know the moment anyone attacks us Trump is just going to surrender.
do you want trump to keep the war going? i dont understand.
Naw, I just want Congress to hold him personally responsible for starting a war where there was never any threat and creating a situation where there now IS a threat, and hold him financially responsible for the payout. He certainly has the money from all those ill-gotten gains of using the Presidency as a platform for his cons.
and creating a situation where there now IS a threat

History began ~~in 1991~~ ~~2016~~ ~~2020~~ ~~2023~~ ~~2024~~ yesterday
Obama's treaty with Iran ensured that any nuclear development would be done under the inspection of the UN, which put hard limits on what they could do. Trump destroyed that agreement, and his new MoU has zero mention of nuclear weapons. Iran is completely free to develop these weapons now, and thanks to Trump's surrender, they will be funded by massive amounts of cash directly from the US and from the tolls that Iran will now charge for anyone using the Straight. THAT is the threat.
Honestly, I just don't think Iran with a nuke is any kind of imminent threat. Not my downvote btw
Haha there will always be losers who think Trump is actually doing his job rather than just grifting the US treasury for his own benefit. They can downvote me all they want, they'll still be wrong.
I read that total costs for the pentagon, over the next few years to replace what they lost, is approaching 1 trillion dollars. I think some of those bases and equipment will not be rebuilt .
Coupled with the payout to Iran, the reimbursements to industries, and the personal costs Americans paid for raised prices. I’m a bit scared, can’t even guess.
And that assumes Israel behaves, otherwise this may just be round 1
Missed your reply yesterday, but as we can see today Israel has NOT behaved, and the Straight is closed once again.
And ugh... I hadn't even considered the cost of the damage to the bases. I knew Hegseth had depleted our stockpile of munitions but I thought the $80b was the cost to replace those, and that still leaves us dangerously exposed for several years. I'm sure Trump probably thinks he can order some on Amazon and have them delivered the next day, that's just how out of touch he is with reality.
I’m waiting for Iran to fire missiles at Israel again when there are more civilian deaths in Lebanon today or tomorrow, or something like that.
I cannot imagine a scenario where the USA just lets Israel be bombarded ( because Israel will still probably attack Lebanon after that, then we have a repeat) and not do something that sets off new stuff also
I seem to recall last time Trump announced there was a ceasefire, and the Israel cut loose again, Trump was absolutely livid. I still there there could be a chance where Netanyahu pissed off Trump so badly that he cuts all support. Trump might accidentally do something beneficial for the US.
Better start printing
