Oh! Look!
"Rep. Smith: A year ago, you said that Ukraine had no cards to play. Clearly, that was wrong. What did you miss?
Hegseth: We didn’t miss. Joe Biden, with no accountability, gave hundreds of billions of dollars of our weapons to Ukraine."
"hundreds of billions of dollars"
Again
Funny how it always comes down to Joe Biden

@alexlac51 @Nonilex the number I heard was 1 1/4 trillion dollars.
But we don’t have the money to help citizens. After all the war machine corporations can’t be expected to survive on a pittance of billions. -

https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-hegseth-congress-trump-updates-04-29-2026@Nonilex OK, but the problem with the Iran war isn't that it's costly or unapproved, it's that it's an atrocity by choice, conducted in every illegal way there is.
