Interesting quote from Russia about attempted assassination

[Tuffoldman]

On Sunday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a social media post that U.S. lawmakers should use the money being spent to supply Ukraine with weapons "to finance the American police and other services which should ensure law and order within the United States."

America already has the most well funded police force in the entire world.

Americans spend more money on police than Russia does on their entire MILITARY by a factor of almost 2.

America's police force is the third largest military force in the world by funding second only to the US and Chinese militaries.

The U.S. Census of Governments indicate that state and local governments together expended $135 billion on police in 2021. They spent another $139 billion on courts and corrections. Russia spent approximately 109.45 billion current U.S. dollars on its military expenses in 2023, In 2023, the US military spent approximately $820.3 billion.

Hey, I get Maria Zakharova's point though, However, she might have better said if we took all the money we are spending on Ukraine to help them protect their border, we could stop illegal immigration on our own border. Our police do better going after hookers on the corner of streets and non-violent steroids dealers than we do criminals.

It’s kind of funny that Russia is in the middle of a war and we still outspend it, lol.

Yeah, that Ukraine money could have gone for LOTS of things here at home. Fund social security, build the wall, etc.

I get tired of hearing about how broke we are while we blow all this money on foreign wars. Over, and over, and over again, learning nothing from our mistakes.

What the politicians learn is they offer up money to these other countries and they get kick backs to line their pockets

Police are the thugs for the deep state. The enforcement arm of the corporate / deep state overlords.

They need to be kept to an absolute minimum. They do NOT keep us safe. We keep ourselves safe as citizens. And we are safer with these deep state thugs kept to a minimum.

Just spend a couple hours on Youtube watching the horrendous encounters people have. When the police show up they kill innocent people, shoot peoples' dogs, taze children, body slam elderly veterans, plant drugs, torture mentally ill people and then hide behind qualified immunity. The so called "good cops" remain silent as the psychos trample people's 1st and 2ns amendment rights.

America is a war machine masquerading as a country. The US has more defense contractors than the rest of the world combined (51/100 of the worlds 100 largest defense contractors are American). Of all the money the entire world spends on defense combined, 60% of it goes to American companies.

It's simply good for the economy to keep the war machine doing what it does best, turning tax dollars into corpses.

Coming from Russia it means nothing. Its a country who dont give a fuck about human rights or civil rights.
Ran by a dictator who kills or imprison his opponents.

But then how many political opponents have been killed here in our short history and how many political opponents have been jailed?

The USA spends the most but may be the least efficient of the G7 countries. Same with law enforcement but not nearly as distrusting as the fed gov. I have worked for a municipality for almost 30 years. Money is wasted constantly and we are actually a pretty good well managed city. It gets worse as it gets bigger.

Look at the state of USA. The FBI and CIA are weaponized against politicians.

I am convinced that they knew about this and allowed it all to transpire to "off" Trump.

I hear Biden will drop out as early as Saturday. Kamala or Newsome? Which horrible person will the DNC choose?
