            I presume that means cost the US military $25bil? It’s presumably also cost Iran, Israel, and everyone else in the world.

                        What are some comparable costs for domestic policies?
                        A website said Medicare for all is 3.2T a year. Others?

                            The guy said, "Right now, the war is costing us $25 billion" or something close to that. Is it just me, or is that weird phrasing? Wouldnt you say "The war cost us ... so far" rather than use the present tense "costing us"?
