this at least the 4th time i see this reposted, and still....some of the clips show russian weapon systems not american ones.

This is what happens when you just take a yt short from 2 years ago, cut off the top where the systems names (and nations) are and slap a new caption on it.

The base point is right, weapons are expensive, but at least get the damn systems in the compilation right.

the prices are also just completely made up, like the most a CIWS can fire is continously for 20 seconds - which costs around $46,000. Yes the military budget needs to be reduced, but this is entirely misrepresenting how much these systems actually cost to run.

Since there are apparently no consequences whatsoever, the U.S. regime is only too happy to accept these astronomical expenditures - yet another atrocity at the expense of ordinary people: a distraction from the earlier cover-up of unspeakable crimes through further unspeakable crimes, and the billions required to commit these war crimes flow directly into the pockets of the regime’s supporters. The unspeakable suffering these monsters cause, however, plays absolutely no role in their ruthless calculations.

I think it is fair to say that the U.S. is ruled by organized crime - and that it is acting more ruthlessly than ever before.
