    Damage to the Iranian economy doesn’t exist they never had the infrastructure to even qualify as an economy and I would prefer funding Iran war because it may in fact benefit Americans where as Ukraine does not

    Trillions. US completely lost its status as a relevant power on the world stage and is now seen as an enemy by basically the entire rest of the world.

      @idontwanttomakeachan Well obviously – but there were many vassals that painted US in undeserving light. Right now those vassals openly define the US as a direct enemy.
