But hey! No money for healthcare, sorry.

Which means it’s far more than that

That sounds way low.

The people can eat ballroom.

And even by war standards the us has kinda done nothing?

Bases in the area? Evacuated.

Allies in the area? Wishing they where not.

Friendly Oil infrastructure? On fire.

Iran's fighting capacity? Largely unchanged and now decentralized and acting independently (that is a bad thing for the us)

The strait? Now double closed.

Us image as a superpower? shattered.

That means at least $50b

This is at most half the actual cost. The economic losses alone were estimated at like 600 billion. Its so dumb and there's nothing to show for it but a pile of dead children.

Is making Netanyahu happy worth any of this? But hey a lot of really shitty people are now richer.

Dept of War: It’s not a war! Don’t call it a war!

$25 billion for the world not to pay attention what Israel does to Libanon is not that bad.

Assuming this is entirelly honest, this is only the direct costs of the US military action, not the military costs of Israel which the US subsidizes or indirect costs to American businesses and consumers due to higher energy costs as well as due to, higher in various production chains a lack or higher prices of things produced in plants in counries in the area which are US allies and hence were destroyed by Iran or which are exported in routes that go via the Strait.

And then on top of the above described costs for the US, all the non-military costs also apply to the rest of the World almost certainly adding up to many-fold the costs for the US. Even in an American-centric perspective the ill-will towards the US from this has future costs for the US in terms of missing international business opportunities and reduced preference abroad for American products.

Then on top of that there is additional damage to the image of the US at governmental level all over the World which can even accelerated the end of the Reserve Currency status for the USD, and which depending on much that's accelerated would mean Economic losses for the US next to which the $25 billion are a microscopic amount.

The whole thing is proper next level winning! /s

Also costs entire world a shitton of money. We should all send invoices to Israel and US.

I presume that means cost the US military $25bil? It’s presumably also cost Iran, Israel, and everyone else in the world.

What are some comparable costs for domestic policies? A website said Medicare for all is 3.2T a year. Others?

pretty sure its more than that. 90bn in a month was spent on having luxury/bougie vacation experience for hesgeth and the top brass on the military.

25 billion to cover up the pedo masterminds crimes to protect the pedo pres. Not one cent to help me out. Not one.

But fuck thr poor

The guy said, "Right now, the war is costing us $25 billion" or something close to that. Is it just me, or is that weird phrasing? Wouldnt you say "The war cost us ... so far" rather than use the present tense "costing us"?

Epic fury...how about Epic fail 😅🤣....what a bunch of clowns.

Complete lie. More like at least 100 billion if not more in direct costs. And of course that doesn't take into consideration the massive negative effects on the US economy.

Yeah uh, we should probably move the decimal one digit to the right for accuracy

If any new insurance policies are taken on buildings that auditor keeps records in, go place a bet.

If the pentagon says something in 2026 I'm going to assu.e it's either completely false or exaggerated in some way.

LOL.

Does that include damage from the Iranians? Because between the missile defense systems and base damage, Iran has probably caused more than 25B in damage itself.

Yeah, but we absolutely could not tolerate a funny laugh.

Things would be way worse if we had allowed that.

Thank God we dodged that bullet.

Worth spending LOL.
