And a bunch of those F-15 components are made in Canada, just in case someone was feeling smug.
Made in china too!
They'd sell crack to elementary school kids just to make a buck. The way the criminal world is organized nowadays I'd say they are already doing that.
First, the US gives billions to Israel in aid, then they spend it on US military equipment. Why not just buy the jets directly and hand them over?
The defense companies make way more money if the government gives them taxpayer money and tax breaks, then give taxpayer money to allies to buy weapons that were already paid for by taxpayer dollars. They are, at a minimum, triple dippin'.
Amazing, this capitalism thing :)
And here I thought they were meeting to discuss a Gaza ceasefire plan. 😂
But wasn't voting for the GOP supposed to stop the US support for Israel?
/S
Democrats would never
Would never! is generally sarcasm.
