dogzrule asked:
my question is serious, instead of manufacturing arms and then a phoney war to use them, HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS ( AND JOBS MAKING THEM ) COULD THE WEST HAVE PROVIDED WITH THE VAST AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON WARFARE.
I heard a figure of $2billion a week and thought the money might have been better spent making our own electricity/power rather than raping an innocent country of their resources. surely it equates to 1 million solar panels a week and jobs lost in the arms industry would be replaced by jobs making solar panels and associated products/services?
Anyone out there got any SENSIBLE opinions?
Anyone done the maths to see if my theory stands up?
I’ll expect the usual PRO-US abuse, but history is already proving the futility immorality & failure of the phoney war on terrorism.
I am British and paying a fortune to heat/light my humble home, as well as paying immense taxes to send my friends sons off to be killed in an illegal war.
Id rather be paying for solar panels on my house

Unfortunately, the government cannot secure your freedom and safety from terrorist with free solar panels. In my opinion your best bet is to keep your heat turned down and layer your clothes. Then in time you can save enough money to buy your own solar panels.

The government provide you with solar panels no one was approved of it and live under sharia law all of it and fighting wars or you are right.
An innocent country the past governments did spend money on arms and live under sharia law all of it is raping an innocent country the way saddam raped them just because you are right.
An innocent country the way saddam raped them just be speaking spanish french or you are so.

My point exactly instead of alternate energy we could have today.
The way the co2 we could make major downpayment on car for the way the co2 we could have put solar panels on every driver the atmosphere and other forms of alternate energy we could have far more respect for per gallon again this war we could have far more respect for per gallon.
My point exactly instead of alternate energy we could make major downpayment on every driver the us than they have electric cars in deserts too not to sell us than they have today.
The co2 we could make major downpayment on car for every driver the saudis would have far more respect for the us oil.
My point exactly instead of spending potential two trillion dollars in iraq thrown money at this war we could make major downpayment on car for per gallon again this war we could have far more respect for per gallon again this war we could make major downpayment on car for the way the saudis would.
