Literally the day after Marco Rubio scolded Iran for spending money to fight wars instead of on things Iranians need, Donald Trump told everyone we can’t spend money on things we need because we are fighting wars

Adjusting for GDP, USA’s war budget is ~3X Iran’s and Iran’s literacy rate is 10% higher. In 1 month, USA has spent 7X Iran’s annual defense budget.😐

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!
