🇺🇸💵 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.

The inept Afghan government, led by corrupt President Ghani, released 5,000 prisoners—not the Trump Administration. Secretary of State Blinken is doing everything in his power to make the most inept withdrawal in history look, at least, acceptable. It never will. 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!
