How Will The U.S. Pay For War With North Korea?

[Toddsterpatriot]

We really should have a war tax.

Maybe that would cause some of us to think twice before sending our kids off to be slaughtered for someone's ego.

We paid for every war up until Reagan's escalation of the Cold War, and if you look at our deficit history, you can see the consequences from then on.

Really? Looks like we borrowed about 70% of GDP to pay for WWII.

Why does the left insist that there will be war with North Korea? Strangely enough the left was fine with Bill Clinton bombing a country in Europe when he was literally caught with his pants down.

Various estimates place the cost of the U.S. military adventures in the Middle East since 2003 at $4 trillion to $6 trillion to date. This does not include additional costs that will be incurred in the future resulting from these wars.

Also, keep in mind, U.S. fighting during this century in the Middle East has been largely from the air. Most ground battles have been skirmishes against Islamic extremist guerrilla groups, not seasoned military troops with heavy artillery.

Leaving these few details about the Middle East wars behind for a moment, officials on both sides are predicting the war between the U.S. and North Korea to be inevitable, as Trump and Kim Jong-un keep upping the ante with their insults to each other.

So, taking into consideration the trillions-of-dollars of borrowed money the U.S. has already spent increasing unrest across the Middle East, with no end in sight, how will the U.S. pay the American defense industry for the war materials necessary to engage North Korea? (The corporate executives of these companies will expect their bonuses, and stockholders will certainly NOT be donating their dividends to the cause.)

Given the many insults Trump has aimed at our European allies, it’s doubtful any of them will pony up cash to loan the U.S. Plus, with the attention of the U.S. military split between the Middle East AND North Korea, Putin’s expansion into the Crimea will undoubtedly spread to other Eastern European nations. So, NATO members will have their hands full in Europe.

Also, China isn’t going to sit by and permit the destruction of their neighbor and ally North Korea. China has 2,183,000 active military troops to add to North Korea’s 1,190,000 active troops, to fight against the United States’ 1,347,300 military members.

Even with a best case scenario, where any sort of nuclear exchange can be avoided, and all action is limited to Eastern Asia, how long can the United States’ money and military hold out in a real war? Especially with the $1.5 trillion gift the GOP just gave to the 0.1% and Big Business? (The Social Security Trust Fund only has about $2 trillion in actual assets, the other $2 trillion in IOU,s from the federal government don’t count. This $2 trillion and eliminating all safety net programs could help, but not for very long in a real war.)

Any rational answers, anyone?

It's going to cost 6 trillion dollars to launch 37 cruise missiles from our
subs and kill every living person in that country?

I guess fuel must be on the rise again.

Launch in either January, May or September. Fuel is always
cheaper in those months.

 

[evenflow1969]

If it comes to that (it won't) make Japan, South Korea, and China pay for it.

This free world police bullshit MUST stop.

Ya, they are mjust going to poney up right? Like they are paying for our wars now right! Mexico is going to pay for a wall too. Lets stop living in fantasy land. We will stick the bill with our kids and grandchildren just like we have been doing with everything for the last twenty years. The microwave oven generation does not pay for any hting themselves!!!!!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

China has two foreign policy objective at stake:

1) Keep Japan disarmed

2) A reunified and heavily armed Korea to act as a buffer against Japan in case it rearms

Fat Boy gave China the finger when those objectives were pointed out to him. He did so by launching his latest rocket. Russia and India want China in chaos. We should pay for the war by selling Japan all the arms that they want so China will handle this mess.

Why would they need Korea as a buffer for Japan?

That makes no sense unless they are invading by rowboat.

How are you going to kill every living person with 37 cruise missiles? They only put the Syrina airstrip out for about a day.

Wars are always paid for by the working and middle classes who bear the burden of war with their tax dollars and the lives of their sons, husbands and brothers, and today, with daughters, wives and sisters. The corportions and the wealthy make money off war and get deferrals for their children, keeping them from fighting and dying. We pay: the average Jane and Joe.

Deferrals? Are you still living out the Vietnam War?

 

[Mac1958]

We really should have a war tax. Maybe that would cause some of us to think twice before sending our kids off to be slaughtered for someone's ego.

Who is doing that?

Well, Presidents who started wars in North Korea, Vietnam, and especially Afghanistan & Iraq.

Is this a trick question?

Wake up from your delusional Trump derangement syndrome, we are not a war with anyone except regressive liberals, and if you've been paying attention, the regs are paying a heavy price with losses almost daily.

Japan and China have been enemies forever. Korea at least in language seems to be the result of a Japanese invasion a few thousand years ago and many more since the original settlement.

How Will The U.S. Pay For War With North Korea?

1. Shutdown the Committee that spends US tax dollars to silence Democratic Party Politician Predator victims

2. Require 15 years service as an elected federal official to be eligible for Tax Payer-funded Retirement...or institute term limits and end elected politician tax payer-funded retirement altogether.

3. Pass legislation that states NO AMENDMENTS that are not directly linked to a bill can be added to that primary bill - NO PORK! Force every piece of pork to be voted on as a stand-alone bill.

4. Eliminate redundant government offices / agencies that do the same exact thing - there are many of these.

5. Prevent a President from STEALING tax dollars to give to the UN, US Hostage-takers/holders, and terrorists, as Obama did.

This is a pretty good start...

No. Presidents did not start those wars. Your knowledge of history is apparently lacking or you are being facetious.

Now Obama did start several wars without Congressional approval, but that's OK because he was different.
