This procurement will augment the existing 50 F-35s already ordered, 39 of which have been delivered.
quote:
The transaction's value is estimated at around $3 billion and will be funded through the annual $3.8 billion security aid provided by the United States.
quote:
In addition to the standard annual aid, Israel is eyeing a special assistance package proposed by U.S. President Joe Biden totaling approximately $14.6 billion. Despite hurdles in Congress, attributed to Republican opposition, Israel remains optimistic about the aid's approval.

Wait a sec. Did we just buy our own gear and tried to swing like the IDF was the actual purchasing individual

When Bin Laden said America is run by zionists, he was 100% correct.

Is that why the Biden admin was calling for a ceasefire?

A) why can’t they take out a loan and purchase this like we are being asked to? How is it ok for us to incur debt to defend Israel, but not for Israel to do so?
B) Why do they need F35s to defend against a terrorist insurgency without planes of any sort?
C) How does giving them this stuff benefit the average American?

This is how all aid works. We don’t cut a check to other countries, we direct our tax money to the businesses owned by the friends and family of politicians directing those funds.

The key is "calling" for a ceasefire. Doesn't really have to do anything more to pretend like he's doing something.

Republican Zionists thirsty for Muslim blood are very pleased with this development

America has entities willing to buy American debt. No one wants to buy Israeli debt

Air-to-air combat is not the primary mission of the F35. It's a highly faulty, overly costly do-everything not bad platform.

Who gives a frick about the average American? Certainly not anyone in Washington DC.

Bin Laden wasn’t wrong about that
US funding provides %1 of Israel’s GDP

Then they can take a loan out from us or better yet purchase the equipment outright like we have to from our defense contractors

It’s certainly part of its role and a freaking drone is more than what their adversaries have at the moment.
If they want our top tier gear pay for it.

I’m saying we should all start asking questions asap about how our money is spent and why giving it away by the billions is better than not spending it or using it on domestic infrastructure.

TF does that have to do with the Biden admin calling for a ceasefire?

You're just pretending not to be a Zionist, but you really are.
See how easy that was?

3.8 billion 'aid' to a country that doesn't need it ain't enough. add another 15 billion just for the heck of it. must be nice to be on the receiving end of such a wonderful arrangement.

No, that’s why Israel knew to ignore the call.

F-35 is about $780 million a piece. Belgium just bought one from Lockheed. Came down to the Texas plant.
How are they going to buy 35 of them.
