Pakistan Minister of Defence

josh i know you are old enough to remember this exact line of questioning after we unlawfully invaded iraq over two decades ago

the year before we invaded iraq gas in the US cost $2.60/gallon on average (adjusted for inflation) at its peak

1 year after the war started = $3.44/gallon

2 years after the war started = $5.08/gallon

5 years after the war started = $6.99/gallon

1 year after the the war ended = $5.64/gallon

2 years after the war ended = $4.63/gallon

3 years after the war ended = $4.12/gallon

4 years after the war ended = $2.79/gallon

by the time gas stabilizes, trump will no longer be in office and trump doesn't give a fuck about shit that doesn't happen after he leaves office according to what he said in 2017:

🇺🇸 🚨 THE US FOREIGN AID AND DEFENSE SPENDING RACKET EXPLAINED IN THREE GRAPHS

In three graphs, why the United States is clearly in extreme, rapid decline, and the evidence for why ordinary Americans will pay the price for the decades of perpetual-war policies in their own standard of living.

There's a reason why the minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009. Why there's no money for schools, why our hospitals and doctors are a mess, why theres homeless people on every city's streets, including the mentally ill, the drug addicted, and veterans, no money to deal with out of control crime in American cities, the waves of constant immigration meant to destroy your wages... There's only ever money for more federal law enforcement, more war, more "foreign aid" aka corruption rackets for US vassal states.

During the very years we watched this decline take place, spending on foreign aid and defense spending have gone constantly upwards while wages declined and income Inequality skyrocketed.

The evidence for the betrayal of the American people by their corrupt elite is everywhere, and the debt we will be saddled with for generations is unimaginably large: $34.209 trillion at the time of writing this.

Every American will suffer the consequences for the imperialism of their elites, and in fact already are as displayed clearly by the flattening of US wage growth simultaneously alongside the increase in foreign aid and defense spending.

It's elites taking money out of your pocket, out of your retirement, your children's college education, your family's healthcare, your wages, your life, and putting it into the same super wealthy, billionaire elites who've wanted to kill social security and Medicare and use the US Military to enforce a system of control, impoverishment and censorship on all of us across the world. Or fund genocides, you know, whatever's profitable. 🇵🇸

It is nothing more than an old fashioned racket, an upward transfer of wealth, and it always has been.
