Why do we give aid to a country that makes more per capita than the US?
That is a good question
don't give either side a fucking dime
Zigacktement.
Say that three times fast.
How about no aid to any corrupt government. That will cut foreign aid down to zero and lessen the salaries 99.6% of the 535. Then prosecute every living current and former member of Congress who ever took a kickback.
I'm all for no foreign aid. No reason for us to be flipping the bill.
The ex-president has grown more critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since leaving office
Former US President Donald Trump has refused to rule out withholding military aid to Israel to force an end to the war in Gaza if he is reelected. Once a stalwart defender of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump has argued that the Israeli leader and his military have bungled the war with Hamas.
In an interview with Time magazine published on Tuesday, Trump stood by his insistence last month that Israel should “finish up [its] war” before it loses any more international support.
Asked whether he would rule out withholding or applying conditions to US military aid to Israel in order to bring the war to a conclusion, Trump replied “no,” before launching into a scathing critique of Netanyahu.
he said, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname. Trump recalled how Netanyahu allegedly promised to take part in the US airstrike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in January 2020, before pulling out at the last minute.
?“That was something I never forgot,” Trump told Time, adding that the incident “showed me something.”
Netanayhu, he said,
Trump is not the first person to allege that the Israeli military and government failed to respond to warnings of an impending attack by Hamas. According to Israeli media reports, multiple military and intelligence personnel tried to warn their superiors that an attack was in the works, while Egyptian officials told the Associated Press that they passed on warnings to their Israeli counterparts in the weeks leading up to October 7.
Trump was a close ally of Netanyahu during his term in the White House, and described himself as “history’s most pro-Israel US president.” He imposed sanctions on Iran at Netanyahu’s request, moved the US embassy in Israel to West Jerusalem, and brokered the Abraham Accords, which saw Israel normalize relations with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
Asked whether he could work better with Netanyahu’s main political rival, Benny Gantz, if he were to return to the White House after the November presidential election, Trump did not give a straight answer. However, he remarked that “Gantz is good,” and that there are “some very good people I’ve gotten to know in Israel that could do a good job.”
Good. How about ruling out giving aid and comfort to the enemy for a change. That would be lovely.
Also, it is interesting that we can read about it in the Russian media.
They’ve been paid enough.
They owe us money.
We still owe them retaliation for the USS Liberty attack.
As we have the right to self-determination something something.
How about the NUMEC affair? 9/11?Epstein? Afghanistan? Iraq? Syria? Libya? They've planned, instigated, and carried out all of it either directly or through puppets they created to control. They haven't enough reparations in the world should the public wake up to see what Israel has done. People will demand justice be done.
And jfk..
Cut it to zero.Cut all foreign aid to zero.
Right answer, while we are at it let's revoke the citizenship of any dual citizen in our government and send them home.
If all goes according to plan, there will be no need to give them money.
NO FOREIGN AID!!!!
Anything other than the limited government described in the Constitution is ILLEGAL AS SHIT!!!!
