Recently, the international situation is becoming more and more confusing, and the United States is constantly disrupting the international situation abroad, but what I did not expect is that the United States has also begun to enter a situation full of contradictions, and the United States will have to spend 90,000 US dollars to win a bag of small parts that can be bought for 1 yuan and 6 yuan.
US Congressman McWaltz once said that the bag of bushings he held in his hand when he participated in the meeting was a relatively rudimentary product, and even people without high Chinese skills could make things, which were not high-tech products at all, and the cost to be consumed was not so high.
At that time, the US congressman also asked the congressman opposite him how much the bag of things cost, and the congressman opposite heard Waltz's anger and said that he did not know the value of the thing.
The lawmaker angrily told the other party that the U.S. Air Force had paid $90,000 for the bag, and he also said that it was important to meet the FAA's regulations and that any jet turbine engine would need the bag.
The congressman said that the quantity and usefulness of the product are relatively large, even if it is very basic, but the United States wants to buy a large amount, and the product is quoted at $90,000.
It's not just the bag of small parts that the US congressman said, according to the official media, the items purchased by the US Air Force are very expensive, for example, the US Air Force once purchased coffee cups, just an ordinary coffee cup, which cost $330,000 in three years.
According to the report given by the U.S. Government Accountability Office regulator, it can be clearly seen that the U.S. Air Force did spend $330,000 on coffee cups, and the unit price of ordinary coffee cups without any mystery is $835.
An ordinary Air Force squadron can deduct $56,000 from a coffee cup, and for the U.S. government and some U.S. congressmen, there is no way to tolerate this kind of thing, and there is no way to be understood.
U.S. Congressman Waltz was slightly angry at the meeting and said that a bag of bushings would cost $90,000 to buy, and his anger was understandable, after all, what kind of high-end coffee mug can sell for $330,000? Or did the U.S. Air Force manipulate the bill?
There is certainly no ordinary coffee cup that can be sold for a unit price of $835, and there is no ordinary bushing, a bag sold for $90,000 such an outrageous expenditure, the bushing in the hands of the US congressman The US Air Force spent $90,000 to buy parts in the mainland domestic market, and it may not cost a few dollars.
The same kind of product, there is no difference in quality, why the price is so different, if the US Air Force and other institutions do not do it, it is unreasonable.
So why is the U.S. military pricing so high, and does it have anything to do with their international support for Ukraine and Israel?
The outrageous offer is traceable, because of the military export, the huge military-industrial complex of the United States needs to expand domestic demand in the United States, it needs to constantly create panic, and requires the country and the people to pay attention to national security issues, pay attention to the military-industrial complex, and the defense budget impact soared to 895.2 billion US dollars.
According to the introduction just now, it can be learned that the United States supports Israel and Ukraine, which is not lip service, the United States really took out relevant armaments to support Ukraine, but they have played some tricks in this regard.
The weapons used by the U.S. military-industrial complex to support Ukraine are generally obsolete weapons that have been in service for decades, for example, the U.S. Patriot series of related weapons have been sold for $55 million each in the 90s of the last century.
But now the Patriot series of weapons, which should have been eliminated and have long been outdated, have risen to about 220 million yuan per set, and the weapons are not red wine, and they can appreciate with time.
The U.S. military-industrial complex, after raising the price of these things, also teaches this behavior to its allies, such as NATO allies who donated some weapons used during the Cold War to Ukraine and other countries, and after the donation, they buy relatively new weapons and equipment from the United States.
Raising the price of garbage to Ukraine and influencing the international situation, creating panic and making the American public pay attention to international security and military aspects, while at the same time, setting unreasonable price statements has caused the domestic defense budget of the United States to soar.
The military-industrial complex has once again made war money from the war, and judging by their behavior, whether it is Ukraine or Russia, who wins or loses in the end, the United States has already made a lot of money between this war.
However, it is worth noting that it is the US military-industrial complex that makes the money, not the US government, for example, the US congressman once pointed out at the meeting that the F-35 fighter jet is not a project led by the US government, and the clamoring for the F-35 to be funded is led by the arms dealer.
Arms dealers even want to profit from this, and the ambitions of arms dealers are growing, and even the president of Ukraine is aware that the United States claims to provide assistance to Ukraine and provide some weapons and equipment, which makes the United States produce weapons and purchase weapons in the United States, and all the processes are done in the United States.
This keeps all the wealth in this production chain in the United States, which means that it is the American arms dealers who really profit from the war, and the American arms dealers who have developed from this have even lobbied the federal government, and at the same time, the five military giants have divided up the $118 billion Pentagon contract.
The strength of these military-industrial forces is getting stronger and stronger, and in conjunction with the gradually expanding defense budget expenditures under their influence, it is understandable that the congressmen who are holding the pads they bought with $90,000 are angry, and the US congressmen claim that this kind of behavior is aimed at bankrupting the government, after all, the interest on the US debt has exceeded the entire military budget.
This is not the first time this has happened, and if this continues, US lawmakers say they can no longer afford the high military budget spending, and spend $90,000 to buy a bag of padding, which must be sanctioned.
