Stop war spending

The United States has spent $113 billion in aid to Ukraine for its war with Russia, according to an oversight report of the USA Joint Strategic Oversight Plan for Ukraine Response. And the war is far from over. Russia will not withdraw from the territory it conquered and will retaliate for the shipment of advanced U.S. weapons to Ukraine. The winners of this war are Russia and the U.S. weapons industries. Losers? As of November 2022, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated Russia and Ukraine each have suffered over 100,000 casualties (dead and injured). The doomsday clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight — the closest to global catastrophe it has ever been. As nuclear war draws near, according to The Atlantic, “Nuclear war would be a climate problem: Even a ‘minor’ skirmish would wreck the planet.” Tell your representatives that you oppose this war spending.
