The Pentagon has informed US lawmakers that it requires approximately $80 billion in emergency supplemental funding to address expenses related to the US military operations in Iran and other pressing budgetary needs.
Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg conveyed this request during recent phone calls with congressional members, according to reports from individuals familiar with the discussions cited by The Wall Street Journal.
Military officials have warned that the armed services risk depleting funds for essential operations as early as this summer without congressional approval of a new wartime spending measure.
do you want trump to keep the war going? i dont understand.
Naw, I just want Congress to hold him personally responsible for starting a war where there was never any threat and creating a situation where there now IS a threat, and hold him financially responsible for the payout. He certainly has the money from all those ill-gotten gains of using the Presidency as a platform for his cons.

History began
in 19912016202020232024yesterdayObama’s treaty with Iran ensured that any nuclear development would be done under the inspection of the UN, which put hard limits on what they could do. Trump destroyed that agreement, and his new MoU has zero mention of nuclear weapons. Iran is completely free to develop these weapons now, and thanks to Trump’s surrender, they will be funded by massive amounts of cash directly from the US and from the tolls that Iran will now charge for anyone using the Straight. THAT is the threat.
Honestly, I just don’t think Iran with a nuke is any kind of imminent threat. Not my downvote btw
Haha there will always be losers who think Trump is actually doing his job rather than just grifting the US treasury for his own benefit. They can downvote me all they want, they’ll still be wrong.
