re: #484 sattv4u2

It’s not, but imho MAYBE it will result in us having to send a LOT less aid to all sides in that region. The tensions there are so high we are spending BeauCoup bucks to
arm Israel
Humanitartian aid for Palistinians
arm Egypt

It’s “our” money and the cycle never ends

The US doesn’t send $ to Israel.

It guarentees loans for Israel.

With the usual strings that the money loaned must be used exclusively to by American military equipment.

So it’s basically the US gov subsidizing the US military through Israel.

In the past, the US encouraged Israel to start it’s own military industry, which now competes with the US, so the US tries to curb some of it.
