“Every year Pentagon contractors get more and more taxpayer dollars and then use some of that money to convince Congress to give them even more money next year. It’s a win-win-win for contractors, lobbyists, and Congress. The loser? American taxpayers who have to pay for this corrupt war profiteering.”

The Pentagon’s official estimate of the direct financial cost of the U.S. war on Iran is a nearly threefold undercount of the actual price tag of the war..
Accounting for armament use, troop deployments, and other factors, Semler estimated that the U.S. government spent $71.8 billion on the Iran war over the course of 60 days — an average of $1.2 billion per day.
The Pentagon’s $25 billion cost estimate suffers from “incomplete accounting of damaged or destroyed military assets, the exclusion of costs outside the department (including billions of dollars in State Department-funded military aid to Israel), and a flawed method for tracking munition expenditures.”

Below is Brown University's Cost Of War project.
One metric on Dick Cheney's legacy is deaths.
Donald Trump as #45 & #47 is another.
Political destabilisation of Europe following the wave of refugees from ISIS another.
Another would be the money he made from invasions.A stinker.
"An estimated 3.6-3.8 million people died indirectly in post-9/11 war zones, bringing the total death toll to at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting."

"U.S. spending on Israel’s military operations and related U.S operations in the region total at least $22.76 billion and counting. This estimate is conservative; while it includes approved security assistance funding since October 7, 2023, supplemental funding for regional operations, and an estimated additional cost of operations, it does not include any other economic costs."
