You continue to make statements you refuse to back up. How are journalists able to ascertain what a terrorist group spends on weapons?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
He just regurgitates what his fellow idiots print. He has no cogent argument of his own. It only proves his lack of understanding and intelligence, as well as any knowledge of history. Crummy education system in Canada as well I guess.
how do journalists figure out how much the US govt actually spends on war?
The U.S. Congress is required to maintain records of spending on defense. The Pentagon maintains records of how money that is allocated to them is spent.
Hamas is a terrorist organization that smuggles weapons, munitions, supplies into Gaza from primarily Iran. There is no Freedom of Information Act to find out just how much they got. How you think a journalist could find out such information is beyond me. Do you think the terrorists want Israel to find out what they have? Maybe they could put it all in one building with a big neon sign blinking "fire your missiles here."
im pretty sure the pentagon is unaccountable and secretive
its over a trillion a year. im not sure how they figured it out, i have no idea if it was FOI or whatever, im guessing it wasnt that because its secret
No it isn't. Our Congress votes on spending bills. The president signs the bills into law. The law specifies who gets how much. The Pentagon works with what is given them. Any attempt to be unaccountable and secretive with tax dollars would put people in prison. How do you not know this?
i will send you some links right now about unaccountable pentagon spending
the pentagons budget is unaudited
im always educating you here:
"Yet, since 1992, the Department of “Offense” has been violating the federal law that requires DOD to submit an auditable budget to Congress every year. Every Secretary of Defense has admitted this noncompliance and promised to correct it. Yet year after year the violation of law continues. No one can fathom the waste, redundance and gigantic cost overruns by the coddled big business military contractors with their government-guaranteed arrangements. Without Congressional investigatory hearings, without instructing the Congressional watchdog GAO (Government Accountability Office) to do its neglected, underfunded specialized auditing, and without giving voice to budget experts like William Hartung or knowledgeable military professionals like retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson and MIT Professor Emeritus Ted Postol, the Pentagon has gone unchecked. The two-Party duopoly has turned Congress into a giant shovel of unaudited money for the military to secure misguided bragging rights for your Representatives and Senators back home about being “strong on defense” rather than watchdogs over your tax dollars."

Has Our Government Spent $21 Trillion Of Our Money Without Telling Us?
In recent decades, the Office of Inspector General has reported some $21 trillion (you read that right) in unsubstantiated payments by the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development. It's time for Congress to investigate these outlays and their funding source.
