Genuine question: after 6 weeks of bombing Iran, the US has almost run out of Tomahawk missiles, and their Navy is running out of food. Car companies are being asked to make weapons. Other public spending is being slashed to bits. What the hell is their $1 trillion a year military budget spent on?

Contracts to sheisters for $500 toilet seats and $20. ramen meals for troops instead of real food. Ask yourself why Ukraine is making thousands of affordable drones and trump is running out.

Well first, they're is the weapons manufacturer, who charges A LOT... then there is the middle man with republican connections, who adds a generous markup... then there is the other middle man with Republican connections, who add a generous markup... then there is the other other middle man... See?

I don't know, but the Pentagon needs to be bulldozed and turned into a triangle with 3 rooms and a few million for a budget.

I figure that a lot of money is spent on expensive unproven weapons that are based on 20th century cold war doctrine. Cheap smart drones are the future, but Lockheed and Boeing can't make cash on that.

And no one is gonna even attempt invading USA. So why on earth have such a large force? Only Russia can nuke USA. And both only have those nukes to destroy each other. The rest of the world hope that happens soon so we can all get along

Trump wants to be like Putin, his Trump America to be like Russia. Russia has war time production and burned through its planned yearly deficit for 2026 within Q1. It's to keep the "economy" artificially alive. After he destroyed many parts of it. At cost of the taxpayers for the next decades.

Things like those Tomahawk missiles. They are $3.6m each and take 18-24 months to build. This year we budgeted for 57. Because of the amount they have wasted in Iran, they want to budget for 785 next year. No idea how you make 14x the quantity at twice the speed unless you severely drop quality.

The 1 trillion dollars for war is going into the pockets of the world's shittiest men. Same as it always has. It's why the pentagon has NEVER passed an audit. And make no mistake, it IS being used to fight a war. A war on the American middle class.

I'm not sure, but I would strongly suspect it might be things like payoffs to all the GOP traitors so that they can fleet to non-extradition countries and live a life of luxury. The robbing of our resources and funds in the United States of America by that group of turds is pretty staggering..

"What the hell is $1 trillion military budget spent on?" Oh, that's an easy one, FRAUD, WASTE, & ABUSE. Eisenhower warned that a "military-industrial complex" coupled with an arms industry, threatened democracy & risked creating profit-driven conflicts, AKA, tRUMP Wars for profit.
