The study is in large error, the actual figure is known It's only a mere 16 trillion across the DoD, USAID, DoS To further the embarrassment: The entire DoD budget doesn't even go towards conflicts - the biggest amount of the base budget goes towards payment of its employees, and home infrastructure

The biggest PRODUCT in the USA is WAR

Comment from : @izzyira

A war on terror, they made a perpetual war by trying to attack a military tactic and hope people don't catch on to that fact
Comment from : @ashuradragosani5960

68 trillion from the American taxpayer for a half-successful war that Iraq never started

Comment from : @warchiefttt64

Jimmy needs to tell us what voting for Jill Stein will actually accomplish (other than ushering in the Trump Regime)
Comment from : @kray97

Of course the justification for the Irak war was completely moronic but lumping it all in with the war in Afghanistan which is a war no moral human being who has empathy towards little girls getting raped and burned by islamist fascists is just pure and pathetic and immoral intellectual lazyness

Comment from : @nevermore4868

It's impossible the US gov is "that" stupid and just give away trillions of $$ in wars Aside from the obvious business for the MIC, warfare consultants, high paid mercenaries etc, please remember US is taking everything from the invaded lands, ie cheap oil, cheap natural gas, robbing country assets in tons of gold, silver, priceless ancient artefacts with value of zillions USD etc The US gov is a sold out, planning war after warand don't be fooled, it is guaranteed profitable Destroying a country, killing hundreds of thousands (even millions) of civilians, carpet bombing villages with real people and families, drone strikes with 90 wrong targets, etc is just being normal and business as usual for the USA gov War on Terror and spreading seed of democracy pretext is a load of crap

Actually Uzbeks have been involved in quite a lot of terrorism attacks on the west and in countries like Pakistan Uzbeks are represented heavily in the taliban , Tarik e taliban, al Qaeda, Isis, and smaller groups within Central Asia After the death of Uzbeks president Islam karimov instability will grow
Comment from : @ShrimpZoo

Stop the damn wars! Hillary pushed us into the wars cause she wanted to look "strong" What a bozo At Least Trump says the wars are a disaster Please stop the madness and vote for the outsiders, Trump or Jill Stein
Comment from : @theartificialsociety3373

Hope you all are ready for the reckoning Waging these imperial wars of aggression and choice will only be able to happen for so long The dollar being propped up as world reserve currency is one of the only reasons US can wage these wars at exorbitant cost Endless war is a boon for defense contractors and weapons manufacturers - it's a massive racket Eventually, US going to have to cash in, and this massive debt will be next to impossible to pay back Once our empire falls, it's going to cause some major suffering domestically; not to mention bruised egos and mind-splitting cognitive dissonance for the "American exceptionalism" jingos

Though I do believe in a strong miltary it's not the only thing that is expensive All these social programs runed by the federal goverment that alot of us don't need is hurting America more brIt doesn't mean I believe in war I just believe in protecting ourselves from any threats
Comment from : @carywilson84

Not only is the US the wealthiest nation in recorded history, it is also the largest terrorist nation, in terms of the number of countries that it has invaded and people killed in those countries There is no contribution it has ever made in terms of beneficial technology or resources, that will ever be able to equal the devastation it has implemented since its inception as a nation

It is great hearing people talk about the real issues The ones that matter at home and aboard

how much is that video of jimmy dore spitting on alex jones costing tyt?
Comment from : @HyperQube_Inc

but education and healthcare are too expensive
Comment from : @fkujakedmyname

If declarations of war required a draft, especially of women and men, the big money interests war contractors would rig that declaration so they would make money, perhaps on massive preparations for war Gosh we could be spending 75 on war preparations vs only about 50 Killing is so much fun you know Quit bitching about war on the streets of Chicago We just need to support war in our streets because they also will provide revenue for the small arms manufacturers

Comment from : @AdamAli-ci2qx

I love that all of this is in the Green Party platform, and thank you Jimmy Dore for keeping Jill Stein in the media! It's unfortunate that most people will vote to continue this killing, maiming, and spending in November, though Maybe if they knew all their options they'd reconsider
Comment from : @trevorstannus2604

Sad to see that even the Young Turks is perpetuating the myth that the Iraq Civil war starting in 2003 and the Iraq Invasion of 2003 were one and the same conflict Literally the only connection between the two conflicts is the latter got our foot in the door while we had a Neoliberal administration
Comment from : @jefflittle8913

How much did the Clinton Foundation spend on the Haitians? Only 6 The rest was spent on salaries What a bunch of crooks A bimbo bangin rapist crook and his Parkinson diseased wife for President is the best the Democrats can get?

Comment from : @deanfranz

They say that by the time soldiers disabled during the war start to pass away from old age say about 2050 the total cost of the war will be 7 trillion dollars Heard that on Real Time with Bill MaherBut 8 trillion is probably right its just paper

Butbut, Joey spends most of his paycheck that he receives from WAR Inc on new Chevy Blazers, a new Boat, and ten new guns So we cannot afford to stop murdering kids in 3rd world countries What don't you understand?
Comment from : @DeerHunter308

The "War on Terror" is Orwellian Bushspeak Any body opposed to the"War on Terror" must be on the side of the terrorists just like anybody opposed to losing their civil rights to the PATRIOT Act must be unpatriotic The "War in Terror" accomplished nothing but increasing the value of the stock portfolios of the uber rich and making America the most hated country in the Middle East, if not the entire world I lived in a "friendly" GCC country for five years ending in November, 2015 I personally discovered that people, locals and non Western expats, were friendlier to me when they found out that I was British and not American Actually, I'm dual national; but in the country as a British citizen Thus all my paperwork stated British rather than American All Americans should live abroad for a least a few months to see how hated the USA is by non-Americans

If we stopped all military aid to foreign countries and stopped all police actions overseas, we could have a chance of at least paying the interest on the national debt

Comment from : @Bob1128

news flash -bush is no longer president, hasn't been for 8 years Obama said he would end it, accepted the prize, and will leave office and we will still be at war when will it be his war?
Comment from : @raymenendez4278

the war costing five trillions dollars? let's get real, money is printed by a speed press, that's not backed by (gold) key word gold, in reality the pounds of gold could not add up to amount of money that's been spent for past year's, even if a one mile long meteorite slammed into the Earth and everybody survived but realistically humans would be dead anyway ? even if three billion people got high end jobs that has a high taxes paid to the government it would probably take twenty years to catch up, the definition of this post means there's no way in hell that we can make up what we spent over the past 50 years in Wars

THE QUESTION IS: WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO STOP THAT? WHAT CAN WE AS AN AUDIENCE DO? PLEASE SOMEONE CREATES A MASTERPLAN FOR US! #stopwars
Comment from : @MrYounggunxxx

The war on terrorism is permanent, because there is no victory objective, and the war feeds into the conditions that cause terrorism Those 75,000 dollars per household are only the first drop in a bucket, and the people will be bled dry over the coming decades
