Really puts into perspective just how superior America objectively is compared to the rest of the world, where us losing a percent in annual growth while still growing is considered by many to be the end times.
Meanwhile, Europe, Asia, and especially Iran are all on the verge of collapse.

In other news, Iran is apparently so terrified of bombing resuming that they asked Daddy Russia to call Trump and threaten him not to break the ceasefire.

It is even more so funny the foreignness of the complaints as though it is America's duty to ensure prosperity of other countries without any explicit reason given. If we're an oil exporter, how does an blockage to competition hurt us? Its retarded to drop the embargo. If you go deep enough down the path of our ancestors, its retarded not to bomb brown people and close your borders when given the chance. Always Be Bombing Niggers. If not for yourself, for your kids futures.
And if Putin really wanted to impress us all maybe Russia could, oh I don't know, finish the war in the Ukraine.
 
It could have been so easy, but muzzies had to muzzie

There must be a reading comprehension issue here.

Nobody is talking about salaries, we're talking about the lifetime of veterans benefits in all of its forms for millions of people. Those are not part of the defense budget. I don't understand where you got that idea from. That is 100% NOT included in the numbers.

Nigger, there's no reading comprehension problem. You're the one that brought up military spending, and then claiming, without evidence, that dependas and vets are getting secret slush fund money from the DoD that isn't kept on the books. That shit IS part of the defense budget, and it's not hidden at all, if you weren't too fucking lazy to read a single Treasury statement. Maybe find a 5th grader to read it for you:

since you guys like to bandy around how little massive amounts of money is in relation to the defense budget

Let's say the Pentagon's budget is $850 billion this year. I don't feel like double checking so let's just use it as a hypothetical. If there are 52 weeks in a year, then the military spends $16 billion of its budget per week. So over the course of 6 weeks that comes to about $96 billion. What could be a better expenditure of money than using that budget to kill sand people?

No no you don't understand. The Iran war/blockade has cost the United States government 0.36% of its total budget this year, or a whopping 2.94% of its military budget for the year. This is UNSUSTAINABLE. Two more weeks until the walls close in!

"The defense budget largely funds military operations, procurement, personnel, and research through the Department of Defense (DoD). The VA budget funds veterans’ programs, including health care, benefits, and national cemeteries, administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. While both areas involve national security, they operate with separate purposes, accounts, and oversight structures. In practice, the VA receives annual appropriations that are distinct from the DoD’s defense top-line and do not flow as a subcategory within the defense budget."

Interesting, shitlibs always claim that VA should be included in defense spending--you know, those "knock on effects" you were whining about. Now that your retarded gnostic pose about numbers is blowing up in your face, you're trying to claim "NOOOO, THAT'S NOT DEFENSE THOSE ARE SEPARATE NOOOOOO!"

By the way, those aren't hidden, either, you stupid nigger.

I said they're separate, because they're separate. You claimed all the VA spending and lifetime veterans healthcare and disability benefits were part of the annual defense budget numbers, and you're wrong.

You can sperg all you want, but facts are facts. They are not part of the defense budget. Never have been. Rather than admit you were wrong, you keep doubling down on stupid.

Nobody said they're hidden. Nobody said they're paid out of some Cayman Islands slush fund. It was explained to your dumb ass that they are NOT included in the defense budget, because they're NOT included in the defense budget.

Nigger, if you want to argue for the complete elimination of the VA, go for it. But that has shit-all to do with the war in Iran.

The hilarious part is that, by your retarded logic, our nuclear warheads aren't defense spending because the Department of Energy manages them. You're resorting to being pedantic because you're pissed that Iran got attacked, and decided to derail with some malding out about veterans bennies.

I was going to credit you for actually having a source, but then I read the article and now I hate you even more. The issue raised is that the military hasn’t kept proper track of which manufacturer is keeping how much of each component and they probably have more components than they need which results in overspending (aircraft in general and F-35s in particular are the main thing they talk about). Not ideal, but not even close to what you were talking about.

Someone compared this to giving a friend $100 and them not remembering how they spent it, but this is even more benign, this is giving someone $100 and finding out that they know what they bought, but they definitely bought too much.

This looks like a mirrored shot of the Smiling Friends segment which is based on the "do you realize" dialogue between Chris chan and his father. And if that's the case, then this bunker art links back to this very forum.

considering that the sergeant is named sgt Mr Boss and the soldier is named Alan (his actual name is Allan because somehow neither Zach nor Michael knew how the name is spelled) I think it is.

After having gone full TTD, Rowling has suddenly decided to go full TMD with today's knife attack, and is reposting a bunch of pro-Israel stuff.
Reminds me of when Tara Strong did something similar after October 7th, and some webtoon fired her after she helped get their series greenlit because he was a pro-Palestine dipshit.
I can only wonder how well that webtoon is doing, considering I can't even remember the name of it.

oh man, the Rowling Derangement is going to be great. I fucking knew she was a Zionist, she just didn’t want to deal with another group of violently deranged misogynists who wield exorbitant power in the UK right now.

It's not great but really not that bad once you factor in inflation, both for gas:

And oil:

Oil was more expensive for a large portion of the Obama admin than it is right now, futures are currently around $107.30 (highest they've been in a couple weeks, after a peak of about $119 in March) compared to an whole year average of $127.88 in 2013 after adjusting for inflation. 2010-2014 gas averaged $4.72 adjusted for inflation. If anything gas and oil were weirdly cheap before the war considering the inflation that has been raising the cost of just about everything else.

The "Willow Drone" jokes practically write themselves. The Greeks had no issues fighting in the shade when the Persians came calling. Let's return the favor and see how they like it, shall we?

This thread is composed of retarded assholes who want bridge and power day. I'm currently enjoying doom posting by my friends who are getting fucked in this war. I dunno what you're trying to do other than join Neger Psykolog in da debat thread.

Its like me trying to say how great Ukraine is in the Russia Special Olympics Operation thread. Go post some facts or accept the trashcans.
