Brummet contrasts the US government’s response to the hurricane relief efforts in places like Cuba, in particular, which although is often in the direct path of hurricanes, it historically has had very few hurricane related deaths.

The day before Hurricane Ian hit Cuba in 2022, 50,000 people were evacuated and taken to 55 shelters. By October 1, less than five days after Hurricane Ian’s landfall, 82% of the residents of Havana had their power restored. In contrast, over 100 people died in Florida as a result of the same hurricane, with many blaming delayed evacuation efforts.

Cuba has “drastically lower rates of deaths from hurricanes than we do here in Florida,” says Brummet. “And then when the storm has passed, it’s a priority for the government that everyone’s home is given attention, is repaired.”

In the US, “this is not even imaginable,” Brummet claims. “People are often permanently displaced because their homes are destroyed and they aren’t given the resources to repair them. With all the wealth that we have in the United States, we could prioritize making sure that our communities are safe from storms, that people are evacuated, and that where a storm does hit, that people’s needs are met and they can have their homes rebuilt and their lives can continue.”

Since Ukraine is fighting in debt, NATO+Ukraine's expenditures amounted to $360-370 against Russia's $63.6 billion, 6 times more. I note that this is only military expenditures and this is only half of the spending. Let's assume that financial aid is including Ukrainian over-spending of $97 billion, but this is not all. And there are also humanitarian expenditures. In total, NATO's extra spending on SMO for 2 years amounted to at least about 500 billion.



Russia is hardly in the top 5 in terms of spending to GDP. In first place Ukraine 37%, second place Algeria with 8.2%, third place Saudis with 7.1% and only then Russia with 5.9% with Oman and Israel following on its heels with 5.4% and 5.3%. Russia increased spending 4.1% to 5.9% of GDP, only by 1.8%.
P.S. Iran has cut its spending.

The U.S. has wasted its entire blood and treasure on war. Imagine what the U.S. could have built with $14 trillion dollars? Where the U.S. could have been in relation to China for that amount? As someone else noted, the U.S. could have very well built its own “one belt and road” project for that money, connecting the world and reaping untold benefits.

Not only is it not a one-time, but an annual expense (well, in dynamics, plus or minus), i.e., these expenses add up to cumulative amounts. It would be good to raise the question of efficiency.

Spoiler: Cause I have to say... there's zero reasons to use windows on science, industry, technology, production, military... or any other field that takes it serious.
