Winner or all losers

When I found this today I got the impression we're going downwards towards Armageddon.

What do you think?

People you help, always end up hating you.

Might as well save the money, and first off just kill them.

We are told to have more arms because China and Russia might attempt to attack us.

But if you add the expensive of the "West" we spend more than 20 times(?) more than the two.

Are WE the losers?

A good defense is having a good offense. Which is your preferred bully country?

And then think about that we won't have an Israeli war if not subsidized  by everybody (West), unlimited by US.

The theory behind increased defence expenditure is strange in that usually a country spends the money in the hope that it never has to use it. It is a deterrent, with nuclear arms being the classic example.

Youre told China & Russia might attack because you follow BS lying media that follow the MIC script and keep the gullible in perpetual fear of the 'bogeyman'

No, that's not what I'm saying. Better, to read carefully than to make stupid assumptions.

Most of it used for offense.

I'm posted here for my country ?  What ??

What do your comments have to do with my posts ?

 

 

[Srikcir]

Israel will raise defense spending by NIS 42 billion ($12.5 billion) in 2025 and 2026.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/

This does not include $4 billion in US military assistance to Israel.

https://www.state.gov/

[Srikcir]

Notably the Trump tariffed Kingdom of Penguins has no military budget.

[Stevemercer]

China and Russia's military spending is at least twice what is reported. China certainly currently spends more than the United States

Just shows citizens of those countries, still paying taxes to support the 'defense' of the war that will never happen, haven't learned a thing in life and are idiots.

You do vote, though probably useless. 

 

Not for everyone, but my solution was to stop producing taxable income, become a blight on my country's tax system, and get back all the taxes I ever paid into that system, along with the contribution of my employers.

 

Leave the country to avoid paying any more taxes of any kind.  Actually worked out pretty good for me, over the past 25 year, as I think I've gotten back ever tax dollar I ever contributed, and then some.  Still getting more every month.
