"quantative easing"

Literally printing money

can't fire money, can't print industrial capacity

While there’s infinite money, there’s very limited industrial capacity, because the US de-industrialized itself. The US and Europe combined already can’t keep Ukraine supplied.

I meant more politically and materially than just monetarily.

If we cut social programs at home and continue to send/ ramp up even more billions to support Israel it will just create even more unrest, which is already at a low boil.

We also don't have unlimited manufacturing capabilities. How much material can we sacrifice without weakening our own access to these resources.
