US spent $300 million A DAY in Afghanistan

[gasbusters]

Yes you read right. The US spent $300 million A DAY for 20 years in Afghanistan.

Wow just wow!

Just let that sink in.

All for nothing as the Taliban swept back into power.

That is a STUNNING waste of money for a nation that cannot provide a national health service for its people.

$110bn for war but not a cent to solve their health industry.

20 x 365 = 7300 days

$300m dollars a day x 7300 = $2.19Trillion

No big bus needed!
