You have spent the past 3 years literally advocating for that -- spending US tax money, giving tanks to Ukraine, and having them be blown up by $200 drones.
This was put forth as the smartest thing that could ever be done by the DoD.
wow amazing, also not the same thing as advocating for tarriffs in a post, the thing I said you never did
you keep telling me all these other things you did, which are tangentially related, and somehow thinking that makes me wrong
I didn't say you've never worked with civilian contractors, I didn't say you've never advocated against subsidies, I've said you never advocated FOR tarriffs, which you haven't.
Germany also had a "thriving war economy" until suddenly they didn't. it turns out spending your entire economy on stuff that can only be used in a war doesn't actually bring you wealth. you can't eat bullets guns or tanks
even in WW1, when we didn't bomb them, the thing you're about to say explains all of that, it still happened
why do you think these countries with their "full wartime economies" had to do food rationing (even before it collapsed, back when things were "going well" for them?
the US is going to go into famine because of tariffs?
there hasn't been a war with "food rationing" since the 40s dude LMAO
I remember all the food rationing that was happening in the Iraq and Afghanistan war.
you literally had food rationing during WW2, during the peak of your "booming wartime economy"
my point isn't what your food situation may or may not be, my point is that having a "booming war economy" means absolutely fuck all to 99.9% of people living in the country,
but yeah by all means lets pretend I meant a completely different thing
I guess making more than one point at a time in a post is just too much for you
you're implying that Russians today are better off than they were 2 years ago, which is fucking hilarious
I can tell you this much: since the Ukraine war started, I am not better off.
I am better off since Trump has taken office however.
you didn't go into famine during the 2008 recession, that doesn't mean you still weren't worse off.
you're laughing at the idea of going into a recession because, uh, you won't literally die. so I guess it's fine then. no problem. had to happen.
I was better off during the 08 recession actually.
oh wow are you the entire country? that's crazy bro
The 08 recession was actively good for my family.
what an epic counter point
