    Yesterday’s attack on Ukraine cost Russia as much as $1.27 billion. The prices of the missiles, rockets and drones used in the attack were compiled by Economic Truth, which calculated that the Russians lost $1 billion 273 million 220 thousand dollars. That would pay for the country’s Health Care for most of next year.

      Im all for this, but can we do the same to our oligarchs? What you say about health care at the end…no shit…people are saying that about the american military budget since…well, the end of the second world war…in a presidential speech warning abouth the financial interests of the industrial/military complex.

      Can we seize the bilions made by Boeing, lockheed, northrop and others profiting by all this destruction and war.

      Can we seize the bilions made by bp, shell, exxon, and the destruction they cause?

      Can we seize the bilions made by the sackler family and all the others that cause drug epidemics while leting us die without access to life saving medicines.

      If what you say about yesterday attack is true, the calculation, then you have to agree with me.
      Because just de arms sales of lockheed could fund 25/30 health care systems…add Boeing…add bp…and while we are at it, apple and Amazon, and Microsoft…you get the idea.
      These people “made” more than 2/3 of the wealth of the planet in the last 2 years alone.
      The theft has never been so blatant.
