The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
Where are all the “We need to stop sending money overseas” voters? Did they win yet?
Well, they stopped sending money to Ukraine, so I guess thats part of their stance fulfilled.
Bullshit, Israel continues to receive monetary aid from the US and the latest weapons sales includes federal subsidies. US and German taxpayers always pay for weapons destined for Israel.
The linked article defines it as a sale, do you have sources that shows otherwise?
Good to know it now becomes a good thing since the US is getting something out of it, great line in the sand.
Fun fact: Genocide Donald is the oldest president the United States has ever had.
Oldest elected or will be the oldest by the time his term ends? Biden is currently older but was elected at a younger age.
Imagine paying off student loans with that money.
To muddy the waters of any real Corporate capabilities while leadership reaps the benefits of capital investments
This one is a sale, not a donation. This Trump greasing representatives from within the US that has weapons manufacturing in their region.
Even if this is technically true, if there is a certain amount of aid and a certain percent goes to US deals that are exported, and then the aid gets bigger with the expectation of larger more expensive export deals, I’m just not sure if this is meaningfully true rather than technically true. I am not downvoting you, BTW, I appreciate the correction, but just belive you are are confusing a semantic difference with actual ignorance.
If Israel pays the money goes to American workers. Your student loans are the results of systematic failure. Universities don’t need mega stadiums, students shouldn’t need to buy books, admin staff shouldn’t make so much. You also have a weird structure where top researchers make buttload of money, but TA down the pyramid are starving.
In sane parts of the world universities build libraries, not stadiums. The life of TAs are hard, but they don’t go into debt, top researchers don’t get to pocket piles of gold, they get more research resources and admin staff get normal salaries.
tl;dr the money is there to give you almost free education, but it’s not a priority.
Where are all the fascists that are crying about less government and keeping our money in the US and only for the US?
Wasn’t that the whole argument of dismantling USAID?
Answer: Republicans are full of shit and so are Musk, Donald, Vance and all the rest.
Where are all the fascists that are crying about less government and keeping our money in the US and only for the US?
They label it a sale and it’s suddenly OK. They ALSO send a lot of aid, but that’s only a bad thing when a democrat is in charge. Now that republicans are in charge, Israel is part of the US as far as aid and such is concerned.
When will DOGE cut this spending?
