@mmcmahon09 @ShoneeOnionRing @adamscochran At an inflation rate of 3%, that would be close to $1M in today's dollar before taxes.

@ShoneeOnionRing @adamscochran Notice I didn’t comment on it because it wasn’t worthy of a debate for me.
I take issue with bad math.

If somehow you had 20% of your $70k paycheck left to invest after cost of living
AND you got the average rate of return in the markets…
Then it’d still take you **30 years** to reach $1M (excluding tax hits)
Meanwhile Kevin did a sleazy takeover of a company sold it with fake metrics, and became a media personality who lost money on investments while pretending to be good at it.
The reason you see him popping up (in increasingly dumb attire) is he is desperate for relevance to pay his bills.
He’s never given good financial insights in his life, and he’s clueless if he thinks the average person making $70k has 20% left over after paying to live.

If America were to be attacked, would you trust Israel to provide defense?

The UAE will show the world what strength is made of. The UAE will show the EU and NATO how to be brave. The UAE will make sure the Islamic regime in Iran never, ever targets us again. Never again. We lead. We protect. We win. And the Middle East moves forward without Islamist terrorists.

@ErikUniteUK @EdKrassen Just like he remembered Russia paying bounties on US soldiers in Syria. Oh, I forgot he didn't.

BREAKING: Russia shared satellite images of Prince Sultan US base in Saudi with Iran right before their attack that injured our troops. Ukrainian intel confirms it.
Meanwhile Trump refuse to condemn Russia.
Is this what you voted for?

It appears there are some very angry, low-IQ members of Congress who seem to think the State Department did not approve travel for peace talks regarding Russia. These are the same people who have been useless and failed to do anything—especially when it comes to actual peace negotiations.
Dems, to answer your question: while you were sending taxpayer dollars to fund Ukraine, who then turned around and sent that money to Joe Biden’s reelection campaign (which failed), this administration, and yes, members of Congress including myself, are working toward a peace deal.
You can come talk to me on the floor (which you won’t, because you’re cowards), or complain to reporters. Either way, you’re on the losing side of history.
I will 1000% back peace efforts.

Wait … we STOLE Switzerland’s money?! Am I reading this right?
Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡@shanaka86
BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war. Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze. SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.” The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway. Here is why. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units. The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year. Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.” Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now. Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings. Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours. Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next? Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Many House members including myself are going to continue doing our own filibuster.
No more Senate bills are passing on the House floor until the SAVE America Act is PASSED.
Full stop.

Trump is considering a major change to how NATO works, proposing a “pay-to-play” system where countries that don’t spend 5% of their GDP on defence could lose their say in key decisions, including military action. Source: The Telegraph

@StateDept He starts a war and expects others to clean it up. We were not attacked.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we?
Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?
