    That’s like 0.8% of the US military budget for 2025. That’s basically a rounding error

        China’s GDP is going to keeping a billion people housed and fed, and producing more solar panels than the rest of the world combined. The US military budget is going to blowing up brown people.

            Nobody said anything about ICE, we’re talking about the military known for bombing weddings in multiple middle eastern countries and then bombing ambulances when they respond.

            If you have the money to commit atrocities in a dozen countries at once, you have money to spare.
