    the pentagon has reported this conflict costing about 29 billion dollars since it started about 3 months ago. this number will go up once it ends due to long term care for veterans, not to mention the inflation it has brought americans. this erased any raises they may have gotten this year.

    and all we got in return was check notes a sense of pride and accomplishment!! what a delusion article for sure lmao

        wearing us down is how we let these scumbags win, and you’re feeling those effects.

        stay informed, but also ground yourself with things in your immediate control if you’re feeling burnt out. you got this 💪
