So, let me get this right. We offer to sell them billions in weapons, but they say “we can’t afford that”. So we then GIVE THEM the money to buy the weapons from us.
This is just laundering money stolen from U.S. taxpayers. The endless profits of the companies who supply these weapons are then funneled to government officials who facilitated this to begin with. This is textbook theft and money laundering. Period.
Exactly. Israel, unfortunately, has been a strategic asset/liability for a long time. Oil powers the world. Having them where they are has benefited US interests in the region. All of it sucks and has sucked.
But I don’t think the forming axis powers have a great alternative to offer the world.
Can we all just switch to renewables/figure out fusion and put this shit behind us?
Overall, neither Ukraine or Israel deserve the help, but this global situation has quickly escalated into proxy territory where larger interests are also at play.

I’m glad someone else recognized this.
Except there is a lot more at stake here. Ukraine can’t afford everything they are getting that’s for sure.
What does Ukraine have to do with our decades-long gifts of billions of dollars to Israel?
