YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Trump says the war with Iran is one we can't afford to lose. But as it turns out, it might just be a war we can't afford. According to two Congressional sources, the war is coming with a minimum price tag of roughly one billion dollars a day - and it's climbing higher. That includes asking top weapons manufacturers to increase production as the U.S. is using missiles faster than we can make them.
