  1. Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah have vowed to literally murder every Israeli flesh by flesh.

    US can’t do nothing.

    Military aid I’m guessing means paying US companies to provide weapons/vehicles. News should report overall how much the U.S. has given US companies that make military weapons instead of saying aid to Israel or Ukraine.

  3. Iraq and Afghanistan forever wars left very big shoes to fill. Thanks to Ukraine and Israel the shareholders of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin can sleep easy at night.

  4. This might be a dumb question, but why can’t the aid be paid for by Israel (and Ukraine), but in like deferred installments?

    This would show support and solidarity without asking another country to literally foot the bill for your apparent and pressing need to fight a war, right?

    Seems odd to me, but so does billions in subsidies to Big Oil *for researching alternative fuels*. 🤷

  5. I’m not sure why this is big news. We have given 10 times that amount to Ukraine, who was not exactly the most reliable ally before Russia invaded.
