Escobar: 'Forever War' Benefiting Afghans? Follow The Money

2021-08-30

#4 The moderation here is much like that practiced by SJWs. Only a narrow band of discussion is allowed, anything else gets censored.

Just because something is a colossal waste doesn't mean that we can't address waste that is merely gargantuan. We can do two things at once.

China spent $800 billion over ten years and got a nationwide high speed rail system for it. What do we get for all this money we spend on other countries? Jack and shit.

Tell me again about military aid to Israel being a waste.
