Tbf it’s not same as US. Iran is using those weapons in self-defense instead of invading random countries an ocean + sea + two regions away.
Which government he might be talking about 🤔

Also, were apparently low on munitions, so we’re failing at even spending our money on that.

Coulda funded the healthcare subsidies twice over for the 200b they’re asking for
Red0ctober@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Lol, that would have helped poor people. Can’t have that.

They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spend providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.
superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Th government is using health care to force people to continue working. They know they can fund it. They also know if healthcare becomes free in the US, there are lots of people who can just stop working. If they made healthcare free I’d likely be able to stop working by age 45

Easily cover half of the student loan forgiveness plans that would have been in place for 3 decades vs a few months of bombing expensses.

I seriously doubt he considers Iranian people people either, maybe he’s talking about rich Iranians? Maybe Iran isn’t as good at pandering to the wealthy as the US is?

I would love it if Iran asked Pete Hegseth to check with the 2006 Time Magazine person of the year with who does that to their country/citizens.
DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Does this dipshit realize he’ll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.
And I don’t think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.
