US has given at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel since war in Gaza began, report says
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States under the Biden and Trump administrations has provided at least $21.7 billion in military assistance to Israel since the start of the Gaza war two years ago, according to a new academic study published Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that provoked the conflict.
Another study, also published by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, says the U.S. has spent roughly $10 billion more on security aid and operations in the broader Middle East in the past two years.

But fuck off if you think we should help people have health care
Fixed it for you.
Thanks babe
Ukraine could have used it more, instead we gave Ukraine a bunch of outdated/mothballed equipment. Stuff we'd typically destroy while it's being replaced.
Yeah except we promised Ukraine we would help, but not how committed we'd be to that goal. Plus the ultimate goal was to bleed Russia slowly. Can't do that if Ukraine gets the best toys and stomps all over the Soviet machines in a few months. I say that was the goal but now the goal is seed sucking off Putin.
This I agree with.
