Depends on the definition of we. Military actions almost never end well financially.

It ends super well for the people who use the war as cover to steal money.
I guess that's ok then. Just go to war for money, loke every fascist regime ever.
Lots of people made lots of money off the German Nazis.
That didnt make it right then, and it doesnt make it right now.
Why is their tonne in kilograms? That's weird, Americans use pounds, it's almost like this was written by a foreign agent, eh? I once learned a story from my Ukrainian coworker many years ago about a kremlin spy working in the US government, and he was only discovered because he crossed his 7s like they would in Russia, not like an American, as they do not cross their sevens.
Imagine this regime trying to catch a mole 🤣

Let me guess, polymarket
Americans, for a ton of money they will sell their own mother, zero morality.
But please do remember that there's a difference between the average American^[not counting MAGA] and our oligarchs…

You have no idea how right this statement is.
Anyone else watch Rick and Morty, isn't Graham basically Jerry in couple therapy place (mean outside of the 'presenting' that it does)? It's just so subservient to whoever he latches on to. Mean from bomb Iran of McCain it just may be doing his previous hang on wishes here too. But seriously this guy is a senator that has a leadership ability of a wet noodle. Aren't senators supposed to be strong in their own convictions? Mean maybe there's lots I haven't heard of Mr Graham but I don't think McCain would be happy with his swap.
Least McCain had some principles and would now down to the orange turd, that's the only good thing I saw from him (okay plus telling someone in an audience to be respectful of Obama, you'd never see that today)
