60 patriot missiles total cost is $240 million. Iran cost of missiles was probably under $1 million.

This is a demonstration of how pathetic, corrupt and weak USA's military strategy has been. We spend money on fancy weapons, make oligarchs rich, and just bankrupt the country while losing every war 😂

I took your comment to mean that the US deserves to have its money wasted. So I’m asking what did Native Americans and Black people do to deserve their money being wasted on American imperialism?

I want the war to end and for the USA to stop it's imperialism. Unfortunalty the USA need massive damages to be forced out

There’s a difference between the residents/citizens of a country and the country itself. If there weren’t, no country could ever deserve an attack, because every country has babies.

Edit: I guess the Holy See probably doesn’t have many babies, but it’d also be basically impossible to attack them and not Italy

I think countries which colonize or repeatedly, unprovokedly attack other nations, or which commit genocide against or enslave people (internationally or domestically) deserve to be attacked. I absolutely get it if you don’t though, and I’m not trying to convince you.

I think that more thought needs to be put into it when you are talking about a country that was originally invaded by Europe.

If you are talking about US then native Americans are the ones who were invaded. They are a part of the current country but it is the Europeans who are the country now making more than 50% of the population. And the colonisers deserve every pain they can get.

That’s fair. I’ve done my own thinking about this, and I’m not the poster who said the US deserves to be bombed. This conversation doesn’t lend itself to an online platform though, as only one perspective is actually legal for me to espouse.

If the objective was to waste as many patriot missiles as possible to jack up missile defense profits and ensure daddy putin retains leverage over Europe with ballistic missile threats, than yes it was a stunning success!

So yes, we get to buy more new planes. The military suppliers are loving this.
