The US government is still waiting to sell fentanyl to them! Prisons and vagrants are the government‘s money-making toolsEvery prisoner in prison is their money tree! Government subsidies!
Comment from : @Black-w5

The war created mega rich companies like "Lockheed Martin", "Blackwater" aka "Constellis" and many others

Comment from : @sasanr1

I'll never forget how jarring it was when I heard my co-workers around 2010 saying that it was President Clinton's housing plan that crashed our economy Smart intellectual people, yet they can't see what a doofus could tell you right out the gate Trillions of our dollars was wasted on a meaningless war YEAH OF COURSE THERE'S A RECESSION
Comment from : @raheem4real

ALL those soldiers the US trained have been drafted by the Taliban So basically the United States has trained & we know ARMED Tailban forces mission accomplished, But keep believing this country & it's propaganda is righteous

Comment from : @cmdrkillaham8545

Not to mention that if Canada invaded the us, we would have to evacuate to Mexico, and Mexico 100 would not take us And I can 100 not blame them In fact, Mexico would help Canada
Comment from : @Willows_Wings

2 trillion dollars could have built the US metro system, universal health care, and ended homelessness with money to spare13 trillion dollars
Comment from : @briancordero7674

We should have listened to Washington in his final speech We were doing so well until we got into WW1
Comment from : @MasonMasedaZombieMoshPit1643

So I’m 100 in favor of spending whatever it took to end homelessness, but I don’t see how a one time payment of $20B would end homelessness for good There’s roughly 1mil people in the US who suffer from homelessness (the 600k estimate is woefully low) This comes out to $20k per person How would that be sufficient? Does it include job training programs and rehabilitation for homeless people as well? I just think this would realistically cost more than $20B But even if it was $500B I still think it’s what should be done
Comment from : @childofgod2471

Soldiers are workers, very similar to the rest of us, but more alike to those that stand opposite them in the war zone

Comment from : @HTBP1888

so you're saying that if the US didn't invade afghanistan all those years ago they could have handed all 340 million of us a $20,000 check rn?
Comment from : @oneofthesapiens

The homelessness one is the most telling by far The cost is negligible compared to what it spends on its military budget every year Heck it comparable to what they spent on building a single one of their latest aircraft carriers!brIt would even pay for itself and massively benefit the American peoplebrbrOnly conclusion to draw is that they simply don't want to solve the homelessness problem
Comment from : @LarsaXL

War is a racket

The US should have to give even more as restitution to the Afghan people for attacking them without cause

Comment from : @aryatalebniahir3843

Oopsies republicans, I thought you wanted a ((Small government)) Instead, what you got was a Mega militarical system which didn't do anything internally and invaded two countries in the other side of the world
Comment from : @aryatalebniahir3843

You figured it out! Our elected officials are bought and paid for Their job is to make Public money available for the Rich and Big Corps We could take care of Our own but the Rich must get Richer A lot of People got Rich off of that war, and it was not the American Citizen
Comment from : @ivangreen3995

I thought the US involvement in Iraq was because of the threat of nuclear weapons?

How have you not been Epstiened 😮 Glad I found your channel
Comment from : @courtneycraft6342

I know this video is a little bit old like a year however I am a bit disappointed that you didn't touch on the education system Especially higher education and it's absurd funding through loans and putting people who have no idea about how the world operates in charge of paying back thousands of dollars rather than spending it all on shifting it to Public funding It was a Miss point the roughs to the points are true but you went into a whole bunch of environmental justice without even talking about shifting education and not even homelessness but the housing market right now as it is is not conducive to new buyers or renters simply as it's too expensive
Comment from : @harth3432

Smh but they say protect our children while funding a war that killed almost 26,000 kids in another country

Comment from : @koi479

I grew up largely in impoverished areas in the US South Louisiana, rust belt Upstate New York, etc There was always a recruiter in the schools The asvab was mandatory for us to take Recruiters regularly interrupted class to pitch the military to a bunch of impressionable 15, 16 and 17 year olds My parents heavily encouraged me to enlist, to the point of kicking me out at 18 if I didn't join, after a few months of being homeless, I did Why did they push it so hard? Because they saw it as the only way to escape the poverty cycle A real chance to give me a life they couldn't Most of the men in my graduating class joined some branch of the military A lot of us are fucked up now because of it I was one of the lucky ones, I joined the National Guard, being in Louisiana, we were too busy handling natural disasters to blow up brown people in the desert Some of my friends, they didn't get so lucky Some didn't come back home, some did but came back change, etc brbrI see a lot of hatred for the military on the left, and it's not unjustified, but I'd like to remind everyone that the system we live in is designed to shuffle young men and women into the military The few times I was able to go to a well off public school (Dad moved for work a lot), they didn't have recruiters, they didn't interrupt class to let a recruiter for the marines speak for an hour We don't we have healthcare? Well you can get incredible healthcare in the military Why is college unaffordable for all but the uber rich? Well you can get the GI Bill Why is travelling the world so impossible between cost and lack of vacation time? Well you can travel in the military It's not reasonable to blame the individual person for enlisting (officers are a different discussion) because ultimately like how our system is designed to lock people up for their labor, it's also designed to shuffle the poor into dying for wars for the rich Why do you think the DoD funds Marvel movies? Football? Call of Duty? I was a 15 year old kid who grew up in a trailer park, spending my weekends playing call of duty with my friends, hyped for the next Iron Man movie, and a recruiter comes into my school and offers me a life I have only seen in the movies? Tells me I can get my teeth fixed in the army? That I can go to college? With parents who have been sold the same narrative and think it's a good choice to push me into it? When the alternative is to stay in a small town, hollowed out by late stage capitalism, working at the local Dollar General? It's wild how stacked the odds arebrbrAll of this isn't to detract of the senseless slaughter, the countless war crimes and the needless atrocities the empire has committed, nor do I want to say that veterans are even inherently deserving of respect, but I just want to point out that this is a systemic issue Like System of a Down said "Why do they always send the poor?"

Comment from : @traudlgoring

it is important to fund the military and send your troops abroad, they have many advantages:br1 The troops are better trainedbr2 Other countries respect USA, because their army is goodbr3 USA can exert influence on other countriesbr4 Influencing other countries makes them prioritize USA to do business withbr5 USA companies get richer, if countries decides not buy iphone and block facebook for example, USA will become a lot poorerbr6 The weapons used is the 226 trillion cost, these weapons would be outdated in 5 years and you would need to throw them in the garbage anywaybr7 The war kept continuous production of weaponsbr8 Continuous production keeps the new generation educated on how to make weaponsbr9 New generation knowing drives innovationbr10 Innovation makes USA safer as nobody will date to mess with thembr11 Innovated weapons are sold in the international market bringing billions to USAbrbrSo many advantages at the cost of some Afghan lives, they chose to blow up the towers, it is not that they are super innocent usa loving community And do not try to win sympathy by showing death toll of women and children All lives are equal Men's lives are more important as they are the ones who produce goods and services necessary to keep humanity alive and improve lives of others

Comment from : @kalapipo7495

Just wanted to throw this out there but literally every country fears the US No really, your militarism is terrifying and it's even more terrifying to see your population supporting it I'm from Australia for crying out loud, we have been extremely close military allies for well over half a century I'm scared because I know what your government does to socialist countries, and I know what it would do if we were ever to become one Now while in Australia my sentiment of being afraid isn't all that common, it is the poorer a country is, the more common that way of thinking is America isn't recognised because it's great, it's recognised because it's terrifying

Comment from : @chubbyninja975

Great video indeed, this is directed at you personally but definitely a message to the masses Umm 🤔 knowing amerikkka is full of shit and has always been a cesspool of entitled European rapists and weak pathetic individuals! The numbers on what was wasted is a lie!!! They'll always fabricate the number in their favor and never tell the truth nor have they held themselves accountable for killing foreign leaders and domestic African Americans leaders so when we do decide to choose revenge and unleash hell on those who oppressed us and those who stood by continuing the miss information and propaganda Teachers/lawyers/judges/doctors/CEOs etc Are all going to suffer and burn for the sin's of their forefathers and their present day atrocities committed

As a latin american, hearing an american talk about the reality we perceive about the US from our countries, gives a little hope that things could change in the future For if you, the most advanced and rich nation on earth can't address the issues that plague all of us as a planet, we are certainly doomed
