      Is this why the US can’t afford healthcare to US citizen? Because we are acting as an insurance company for parts of the world we’ve started a war in?

      All tax payer funded….i thought GOP didn’t want to fund foreign companies?

    3. So we, the American taxpayers, are insuring and protecting Saudi ships so that oil can flow to China. Got it.

    4. Insurance only works if the buyer believes the money will be paid out

      So far, the Trump administration has not shown to be reliable and trustworthy, especially when it comes to paying money and honouring deals

      Seriously worried about this.

      1. now every ship hit costs the us, so its a valid target
      2. now us ships are in a fixed position close to iran, they still haven’t used their good missiles yet.
      3. now we’re responsible for the damage if people die
      4. this forces us to use interceptors defending ships not our military.

      it kinda feels like this was a huge trap and we took the bait

    6. So what, oil companies are going to make their captains drive through a warzone because our dipstick in chief says we’ll protect them? That doesn’t make the missiles go away, even if it deters some.

    7. Who, the fuck, is actually supporting this idiot? Seriously, none of them are on r/StockMarket?

      We need some explanations.

      Imagine the cost to having the US military constantly escorting oil tankers, day in, day out.

      Imagine the cost of having universal healthcare in the USA.

      Mid-terms are coming up fast. Decide what kind of country you want to live in. Decide fast.
