🗣 "Now I'm saying, ‘How can they take this equipment?’ And I guarantee that China and Russia already have our Apache helicopters and they're taking them apart to find out exactly how they're made. They're the best in the world by far. And they're taking them apart so they can make the exact same equipment. They're very good at that. It's a disgrace", he said.

🇺🇸💵 Eyewatering sums spent on war.

A new study has found that between one-third and one-half of the Pentagon’s $14 trillion in spending since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan went to defense contractors.

Ennoscriptd “Profits of War: Corporate Beneficiaries of the Post-9/11 Pentagon Spending Surge,” the study also found that many companies earned profits through questionable or corrupt business practices that amount to waste, fraud, abuse, price-gouging and profiteering.

Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman made up more than 30% of contracts, with over $286 billion in contracts in Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020 alone.

Now it is understood, on top of everything else, that billions of dollars will be paid to Afghanistan to help them along the way. The so-called leaders of our Country have gone crazy!
