The Cost of Trump's Recently Approved Attack on Syria
For a country that is already trillions of dollars in debt, what is a few more million?
This week, the Trump administration decided to launch an attack in Syria and they ended launching at least 58 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Each of these all-weather, long-range, subsonic missiles is estimated to cost around $832,000.
$832,000 x 58 = $48.2 Million
After the attacks were launched, Raytheon saw their stock rise on Friday.
However, it was unable to hold the gains following an announcement from the government regarding job growth (or lack thereof).
The move from the Trump administration to launch the attacks, came after the Western media widely reported that there had been a gas attack in Syria and US officials pointed the finger of blame at the Assad government; as has been the case for quite some time now.
Why wait for an independent investigation when there is $ to be made?
A number of critics have called the attack a false flag and insinuated that once again the public is being lied to in order to garner support for an unjust military endeavor. Since the attacks were launched, a number of international figures have come out and condemned the move.
The United Nations has called for restraint in Syria and claimed that the strikes violated international law. Russian leaders have also said the same, as well as the Bolivian President. Recently, France along with the US and the UK have all requested a UN vote over a Syrian resolution.
The move by the US to worsen the violence in Syria has been criticized by anti-war advocates around the globe.
Given the US' affinity for war, it's likely that things are only going to get worse before they get better. The deep state has been funneling trillions into this never-ending war overseas and it doesn't look like it was designed to ever come to an end. Meanwhile it is the people who sacrifice in a multitude of ways in order to carry-out the agenda.

The cost of this is essentially unfathomable with numbers. Instilling fear into the minds of the people is a highly profitable and destructive game.
