        I agree we should just straight up bomb the fuck out of Russia and assassinate Putin.

        The phrase used was bloated military budget, which definitely includes supplying and financing.

          No it doesn’t. Most are government contracts and funding is from congress. A completely different pot from the defense budget. We don’t sell U.S. weapons to foreign countries. We sell them watered down versions.

            Wait, so your premise hangs on thinking that synonyms mean different things?

            Imagine, for a moment, me waving my hands over my head while bobbling my head back and forth in a syncopated rhythm, as I walk away, muttering. “Oh, but the defense budget isn’t the military budget!” “No, we’re just pretending colloquialisms don’t exist for the purposes of this argument.” “There’s always at least one!”
