Money

The Afghanistan War cost the US $2.3 trillion. That is $300 million dollars per day everyday for 20 years. It is impossible to find out where all this money went but using the famous Eisenhower quote of beware of the military industrial complex we can make an intelligent guess. Here is one example. The CEO of Lockheed Martin, Robert Stephens a well known defense contractor, made $2 million in the year before the war started. By 2005 his income was $3 million and in 2006 it went up to $18 million and in 2007 he got $31 million. No need to go any further because the trend is clear. In less than two years the US has spent over $100 billion in Ukraine. Does anyone know where this money is going. Are any of our elite journalist looking into this.
