it's this expensive and the US hasn't even (officially) put any boots on the ground. They've spent all of that on... what? Bombs, sailors, gas, and AI kickbacks from war profiteers? What a colossal waste

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The jury's still out, but it's a neck-and-neck race, and results heavily depend on who we manage to stop first.
All that money spent on murdering Iranians, starting with the little kids in the school.
People need food, shelter, affordable rent, higher wages, healthcare. Republicans are idiots who HATE Americans. People over profits.
… and this is just the cost of spending, what about the cost to repair military bases, lost equipment, lost planes… How much all really cost?
That the US used several decades of ammunition production to achieve nothing yet.
Trillions
