From Iraq to Afghanistan, every time the U.S. wages a war against another country, American weapons makers put a big tranche of America's spending in their own pockets.

Amid a stand-off with Russia, @politico reported that the U.S. government started to send weapons to Ukraine as early as last August in the amount of 60 million U.S. dollars. #UkraineRussiaCrisis
Reuters @Reuters reported in late January on the arrival of a package of U.S. weapons, along with "lethal security assistance", totaling 200 million U.S. dollars, in the Ukrainian capital. #Kiev #Donbass
The majority of the 2.26 trillion U.S. dollars America spent in the #Afghanistan war went to the bank accounts of the U.S. arms industry. #RussiaUkraineConflict
