Ponzi this

 

The United States' absolutely favorite circular scheme of:

 

 

provoking war

 

killing tens of thousands of folks

 

and then

 

restocking depleted weapons and munitions

 

(due to having engaged in those soul-enhancing delights)

 

 

. . . explosively continues in our profit-pillaging Land of the Great Satan.

 

 

For example

 

From Responsible Statecraft:

 

 

Defense officials are worried that U.S. weapons transfers to Ukraine are reducing the Pentagon’s military readiness, according to the Wall Street Journal.

 

The news shows just how dramatically American weapons stocks have fallen in recent months in order to support Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion.

 

It also highlights the massive financial windfall that arms manufacturers will receive in the coming months and years as taxpayers fund a boost in weapons production.

 

[T]here’s little doubt that defense giants will be the biggest winners from the billions that the United States has invested in Kyiv’s defense.

 

And these gains could last well beyond the war in Ukraine: According to the Wall Street Journal, the Army has already asked Congress for $500 million per year in order to enhance its ammo factories.

The moral? — Ain't Ahmuhrika grand?

 

Fondle your babies — and kill theirs — today.

 

Make dead humans. It's good for Wall Street.
