Very true the world over. Not being at war or involved in a war always takes pole position in terms of spending but governments don't want you to see that.
Surely everybody wants peace ?
But not everyone and capitalism will always win in the end.
I don't understand why these people want more money on top of more money when the truth is they will never be able to spend it.
Like your country it's happening in ours too.
I have my opinions on the 3 war torn nations Afghanistan Iraq & Ukraine.
The first two I would agree with the latter I don't agree with.
I believe we are right in supporting Ukraine imo.

Hey ya'll I'm from the UK so excuse me if I hit any nerves here or piss people off.
Look we've had our share of crackpots at the helm of running our government and imo I think we have made some errors there for sure 😬 !

I've taken an interest in American politics since Donald J Trump became President. I still haven't got a fucking clue why Trump thought he do as good a job as any other President ?

Trump did sweet FA for the American people imo.
In 4 year's as President he achieved less than previous President in the history of your constitution.
I hear you banging on about Biden and stifling free speech and the biggest infringement of civil liberties etc.
That to me on the basis of the past 7+ year's should be the least of your problems.

Democracy and freedom of speech without doubt should be the entitlement of every nation on this planet, if only.
You can criticise Biden you can bang on about Hunter Biden you can bang on about the Republican party imploding on itself which is inevitable if it hasn't already happened or the Democrats and the DOJ going after the Republicans (19 of them) for basically trying to pull off election fraud and initiating a coup/insurrection and
numerous other failed policies of both Trump & Biden.
Currently I would say despite all the shit that's hit the fan Biden has edged it for me in terms of being proactive that is and espite his son having issues with a cocaine addiction and whatever else that your President hasn't done some of you seem angry & bitter about it.

Yet I see it differently from a outside POV.
See when you have a former President who still believes he's President and has been singing the praises of several communists I think I'd be asking or rather demanding wtf is Trump doing being BFF with Pukin Xai ping pong and kim I'm dumb Jong and of course trying to pull off a coup.
Nevermind your civil liberties for free speech if the shit goes down and Trump gets another term you can kiss your ass and your constitution goodbye.
Trump speaks highly of his 3 red friends.
One collects nuclear armaments one tells Trump it's a terrible thing to be screwing your political opponents going after them with accusations of insurrection hmm apparently Pukin told Trump this and fuck me there's Pukin who's knocked off almost every political opponent he had and one of his close friends (Pregozin the Chef) who was oven roasted midair.
Xai ping pong building Islands in the south China Sea so he will eventually island hop to link up with Taiwan.
Meanwhile some folk in America are either supporting a fascist although he's been caught red handed trying to overthrow the incoming government and claims the election was stolen which is utter fucking bullshit.
So I get it why he's being prosecuted.
Republicans try an impeachment move on Biden which doesn't even get off first base first person to speak blew it out the water no no no blew it of this world to another tangent universe.
I pissed my pants smh it was so hilarious I was actually crying with laughter so much my belly hurt.

Biden has despite the shit storm over Hunter and yeah maybe for a little your right to free speech was hindered.
What do I know I'm probably wrong to some of you and to some maybe not.

I'd be more concerned about my constitution and keeping it and defending that.
To cut out the fascist movement that is starting to gather followers.
Please somebody get a grip of what really matters. The in fighting will always be there but don't ignore the dangers of what could destroy the USA in the guise of a communist sympathiser.
Think about how life would change without your constitution.
Thanks for reading
