Wonder how much money has been laundered thru the pointless war in Ukraine?
We have wasted so much $$$ and 2 generations of Ukrainian men for nothing....just to enrich the MIC. On a war that Ukraine and Russia had a tentative deal to end almost 2 years ago....but the Biden admin forced Ukraine to back out of the deal and continue the war.
As long as the MIC and other lobbyists are allowed to legally bribe our elected officials in the highest offices to do THEIR bidding....instead of doing what they were elected to do...we will continue down this path to destruction and ever larger government, deficits, endless wars that nobody ,"wins".
Lobbies are bribery plain and simple. Corporations, PACs,NGOs, etc maximum donations should be capped at exactly the same numbers private citizen donations are...IF at all we allow them to continue to bribe our government.
Much like term limits, this will never happen though. Even with Trump in office...the ONLY president in my 47 years that is NOT bought and paid for by the MIC...we could never get term limits passed or lobbying banned because our lawmakers are crooked and already owned. Its ridiculous, and Americans should be PISSED.
