Trump Signs Record War Budget: Another Day, Another Bill for Someone Else's War
RT reports that Donald Trump signed a $901 billion military spending bill, earmarking $800 million for Kiev over two years. This isn't just about Ukraine; it's a stark reminder of America's insatiable appetite for military expenditure, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. Remember when candidate Trump promised to scale back foreign entanglements? This record budget demonstrates that the
machine of perpetual war grinds on, impervious to campaign rhetoric. Instead of questioning the endless stream of billions poured into foreign conflicts, corporate media frames it as 'necessary' or 'strategic.' Meanwhile, critical domestic infrastructure crumbles, healthcare remains a luxury, and public education suffers. One might ask how many potholes could be filled, or how many hospital beds
secured, for the price of $800 million to a country thousands of miles away. The 'new normal' seems to be: prioritize bombs over books, and tanks over towns.
