Bambu, I am drinking Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Australia, the brand is Franzia, I paid $15 for a 5 Liter box, from a store named Von's. Normally I buy the wine from California, but Von's only had the Australian wine, and so I figured I would go ahead and support the Australians by buying some Australian wine. This would be good wine to sell in Alaska where wine is hard to get, they need to sell Franzia in Alaska. And the Mexicans would probably buy this wine. The Australian wine is good wine, and the people of Taiwan would love Franzia wine, and the Philippines, etc.
Salute,

You buy our wine, Tony, ...the company makes a profit, pays taxes...and our govt uses those taxes to buy your war planes, your nuke subs, and hopefully soon nuke missiles from you. 
Drink up!
Not too much though, alcohol can be bad news if not consumed in moderation.
Yes, always in moderation.
And it appears that the Franzia wine from Australia is very popular.
https://www.franzia.com/And yes, when you buy our defense items then it creates jobs here, in the Antelope Valley, and in China Lake, and in Virginia, etc. But, defense is about making everyone safe and saving lives and promoting peace through strength, defense is not about making money, it is about making our people safe, and the children safe. When I helped to build a laboratory where they have worked on Missile Defense for decades then it was not about money, it was about stopping missiles and saving lives, and we have been able to stop missiles in Israel, etc, we have made a lot of progress on Missile Defense. Defense is not about money, and we are sending defense items to Ukraine for free. We want for you to be safe and happy.
Blessed are the peacemakers.
And I have been sending messages to Giorgia Meloni telling her that Italy needs to rise again in the region, and Athens, we need for Italy to rise to meet the needs of the 21st century. And we can work together as a team to improve the world. The United States can help to run the Western Hemisphere, and Rome and Athens can help to run the East. And China can help. And the Philippines, and Taiwan, etc. And Pope Francis is a great man of peace.
We need to stop Putin, he needs to be sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and we need to put in our allies to run Russia, we have friends in the Space Program, and in the Arts, etc, in Russia, and we need for our friends to rise and to take control of Russia and to send Putin to Cuba. We have the World Bank on our team, and we can make our allies and friends in Russia rich and powerful if they would rise and take control of Russia and send Putin to Guantanamo Bay. Money has power.
When Athens built their Empire they used money and a central banking system, they built their democracy using money. And they had brilliant smart people. And Jesus waited for Rome to come to power before Jesus came. And an education was valued in Rome, and they all studied the art of Rhetoric, etc. And then the Renaissance was great, we need to have another Renaissance. France and Spain can help, etc, as we advance peace and the arts, etc.
The weapons can keep us safe while we advance education and peace and the arts, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
