The cost of the THAAD missile defense system the U.S. just sent to Israel to continue its genocidal war on the Middle East cost almost double the dollar amount FEMA paid out to victims of natural disasters last year.
MONEY FOR OUR NEEDS, NOT THE US-ISRAELI WAR MACHINE!
THAAD system is $12.6 million / missile, to shoot down missiles made from sewer pipe + dirt (clay) and drones made from styrofoam and a lawnmower engine. Fucking hell....
You're not wrong in the sense that Iran's strategy is to overwhelm American/Israeli defense systems with cheap drones. But this is a system specifically for ballistic missiles. It's not for the drones themselves. They're gearing up for an attack from Iran after they do some kind of attack on Iran themselves.
Thank you for the clarification!
Drones will take out THAAD directly whenever the resistance wants, more or less. It's something like 5-6 physical above-ground units. They'll just waltz right in given intelligence on the locations.
But think of the military industrial complex profits! How else are you gonna pay for the re-election campaign for all those senators?
There’s not much profit in fixing broken stuff, the money spent on disaster relief is gone. The only way to recuperate that cost is through taxes which takes a lot longer.
