How Will The U.S. Pay For War With North Korea?

[Mac1958]

We really should have a war tax. Maybe that would cause some of us to think twice before sending our kids off to be slaughtered for someone's ego.

Who is doing that?

Well, Presidents who started wars in North Korea, Vietnam, and especially Afghanistan & Iraq.

Is this a trick question?
.

No. Presidents did not start those wars. Your knowledge of history is apparently lacking or you are being facetious.

Now Obama did start several wars without Congressional approval, but that's OK because he was different.

We can blame anyone we want when we get into a war.

The fact is, it's the Commander in Chief who makes the final decision.
.

Sometimes they have no choice.

Well, that's debatable, but it's still their choice.
.

So you think Truman had a choice not to respond to the North Korean invasion of South Korea?

You think GWB had a choice not to remove the Taliban from Afghanistan after 9/11?

Yes, of course. Obviously.

And Bush didn't leave after removing the Taliban.

How will the US pay for a war with North Korea?

The same way that shithead Obama paid for food stamps for the filthy ass illegals and Muslim refugees, borrow the money from the Chinese.

 

[sartre play]

With millions of other peoples life's. no one in congress will be on the front lines.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

we knock the shit out of them and they surrender before we need to use the troops.

They would never, ever surrender. You guys are dreaming.

Various estimates place the cost of the U.S. military adventures in the Middle East since 2003 at $4 trillion to $6 trillion to date. This does not include additional costs that will be incurred in the future resulting from these wars.

Also, keep in mind, U.S. fighting during this century in the Middle East has been largely from the air. Most ground battles have been skirmishes against Islamic extremist guerrilla groups, not seasoned military troops with heavy artillery.

Leaving these few details about the Middle East wars behind for a moment, officials on both sides are predicting the war between the U.S. and North Korea to be inevitable, as Trump and Kim Jong-un keep upping the ante with their insults to each other.

So, taking into consideration the trillions-of-dollars of borrowed money the U.S. has already spent increasing unrest across the Middle East, with no end in sight, how will the U.S. pay the American defense industry for the war materials necessary to engage North Korea? (The corporate executives of these companies will expect their bonuses, and stockholders will certainly NOT be donating their dividends to the cause.)

Given the many insults Trump has aimed at our European allies, it’s doubtful any of them will pony up cash to loan the U.S. Plus, with the attention of the U.S. military split between the Middle East AND North Korea, Putin’s expansion into the Crimea will undoubtedly spread to other Eastern European nations. So, NATO members will have their hands full in Europe.

Also, China isn’t going to sit by and permit the destruction of their neighbor and ally North Korea. China has 2,183,000 active military troops to add to North Korea’s 1,190,000 active troops, to fight against the United States’ 1,347,300 military members.

Even with a best case scenario, where any sort of nuclear exchange can be avoided, and all action is limited to Eastern Asia, how long can the United States’ money and military hold out in a real war? Especially with the $1.5 trillion gift the GOP just gave to the 0.1% and Big Business? (The Social Security Trust Fund only has about $2 trillion in actual assets, the other $2 trillion in IOU,s from the federal government don’t count. This $2 trillion and eliminating all safety net programs could help, but not for very long in a real war.)

Any rational answers, anyone?

I'm pretty sure the orange sociopath won't be able to china to pay for this one.

Of course, paying for the Southern white trash on those programs is much more expensive.

I just answered the question of how are we going to pay for a war by saying that Trump will do it the same way as that shithead Obama paid for everything. By borrowing money.

Obama put us $10 trillion in debt bombing Libya, escalating the war in Afghanistan, fighting the war in Iraq for three years and giving away money to illegal aliens and welfare queens and all we got for it was increased poverty, decreased family income, tremendous debt and dismal economic growth.

ISIS flourished and the Iranians made out pretty good, didn't they? Mexico was able to import its poverty to the US so you Moon Bats must be very pleased.

 

[Flash]

I don't know why these stupid Moon Bats are bitching about war so much. The idiots voted for that Obama asshole that was at war every day of his failed administration.

Are they hypocrites or what?

It's going to cost 6 trillion dollars to launch 37 cruise missiles from our
subs and kill every living person in that country?

I guess fuel must be on the rise again.

Launch in either January, May or September. Fuel is always
cheaper in those months.

How are you going to kill every living person with 37 cruise missiles? They only put the Syrina airstrip out for about a day.

Sorry for the omission...37 Nuke tipped Cruise Missiles.

We really should have a war tax.

Maybe that would cause some of us to think twice before sending our kids off to be slaughtered for someone's ego.

We paid for every war up until Reagan's escalation of the Cold War, and if you look at our deficit history, you can see the consequences from then on.

...Yes. Don't go to war.

Good idea.

Let's ignore Chuckle's --- the 3rd-generation Hermit King's --- first baby-steps into the world of nuclear-tipped ICBMs.

Let's wait until Kim Jong Fat-Boy has a rock-solid 200 or 300 or 400 weapon intercontinental nuclear arsenal capable of destroying Western Civilization.

Let's not bother the little baby snake.

Let's wait until it's actually grown fangs and reaches full length before we are forced to chop its head off.

Yeah... that's the ticket...

Oh, by the way, your psychic medium called, and left a message, saying that she's made contact with another ghost, perfect for you to channel...

We can always count on statists who think politicians should take the nation to war, causing massive death and destruction all for nothing...well not nothing. War is always about the health of the State....hence statists love it.

Or maybe you are just duped by the state run media as it inflames Americans to war...as was done so many times before. Why is it so many Americans never learn from history?

Indeed.

Why do so many Americans not learn from history?

Had we stopped Hitler in the 1930s, 50,000,000 people would have survived the 1940s, and the Cold War would never have happened.

Learning from history, indeed.

I don't buy your propaganda. Sorry.
