That’s because much of the military aid — particularly the money allocated for Ukraine — could flow back to US defense manufacturers. In fact, an analysis of financial aid to Ukraine published in October by the website Breaking Defense found that a majority of the billions of dollars in Ukraine aid Congress had approved to date was ultimately spent in the US.
A Washington Post analysis published in November identified 117 production lines in roughly 31 states and 71 cities where US workers were producing weapons systems for Ukraine — including California, Arizona, Alabama, and Texas. Time reported in February that US aid to Ukraine had created thousands of jobs across at least 38 states.
Wait a second wait a second, you are telling me that wars make money for American defense contractors? Well that’s good. Those small, independent companies without much influence or representation have a hard time making a buck.
I’m glad that politicians those contractors own, I mean are governed by, had the grace to help the contractors make a dollar or two while making the whole world a safer place.
You have a great point, BUT most people think that the money is going out of the US, when it stays here. What you’re talking about is a whole other bit of bullshit.
