    The US patriot blew its load of 36 missiles in two minutes and then got hit by a single hypersonic missile and destroyed. US is only able to produce around 150 of these missiles per year at the moment, and each one costs $4.1 million. Anybody capable of doing basic math can see that Patriot is an utter joke of an air defence system.

        Funnelling tax payer money away from things like social services, infrastructure, healthcare, and education which it’s meant for and into the pockets of the oligarchs who own the military industry is the whole point.

          No no you don’t get it. It’s about free market. Any one can become oligarch in US. It’s a free democratic country. It’s upto to the people to compete and become an oligarch. No one is stopping them from becoming oligarchs. It’s free market after all. If some oligarch can profit from war then other people also have that option to become that oligarch. After all every thing is about profit in amerikan dream.

          — That is what, being a liberal, I used to think about war profit and bourgeois nationalism.

          ** For the people to get an Idea of how a Liberal Brain works after consuming so much bourgeois media.
