    Damn, every take you make on this forum is completely asinine lol.

    Military aid is generally not cash.

    So it’s free? Military equipment has no value and giving it away is not a loss?

      At least if we are giving them tangible goods rather than cash, it’s not as fungible.

      But I don’t agree with giving ANY country aid. Shut it all off. We have shit at home to deal with.

      Any money being sent abroad is 100% eventually lining the pockets of politicians. Even money spent domestically does.

      It’s not, but do you think we’re giving away cutting edge military tech or not developing that cutting edge tech that obsoletes the stuff we’re giving away regardless? It doesn’t really have a lot of value to the US rotting away in warehouse storage.

      Note that I’m not saying this in support of Israel nor am I well enough informed to know if this even applies there. It definitely applies to Ukraine aid, though.
