12 billion on two weeks of fairly half hearted war and only 20 billion on a moon base, that I assume is supposed to last for a while. Seems crazy.

Honestly, I feel at this point it doesn’t matter what they pick to spend their money on. Just pick something and stick with it for more than 4 years and we might actually see some progress.

Classic US, pulling out of an international partnership when the other side has already built the modules that were requested.
I really hope ESA was smart enough to negotiate penalties for a breach like this and we can get at least some of our money back

So we can build 10 moon bases for what the US is looking to spend on the Iran war?

As much as I dislike Gateway, this seems to me like they are trying to divert funding from Gateway so they can land humans on the moon before the next general elections.
If you look at the full plan they have in their presentation, they have 50ish launches for phase 1 and 2, but only 20 billions in investments. This is not a serious plan, it’s wishful thinking and diverting money for short term gains.
The budgets don’t make sense to me.

A good call if really short of cash. The orbiting lunar station does not claim territory but the moon base does.

Good. Gateway didn’t make sense to begin with
